General Questions

What is Sublimation?

Sublimation is a process in which uniforms are dyed with colors, logos, numbers, team names and player names right into the fabric during the manufacturing process. That means uniforms are shipped to you already embellished in vibrant colors that will never crack or peel. They last longer, look, and perform better than any other team uniform.

How long will it take to manufacture the custom uniforms?

ProSphere custom uniforms have the following options:
10 business day standard manufacturing time from order submission.
• 
5 business day expedited manufacturing option available for an additional 15% of the merchandise total.
• 
3 business day manufacturing option available for an additional 50% of the merchandise total.

ProSphere Plus custom uniforms have a standard 14 business day manufacturing time from order submission. Please check with your dealer for actual delivery times.

Are there minimums?

There are no minimums. Please note, authorized dealers may have their own policies on minimum orders, however ProSphere has no minimum order requirements. Please check with your dealer for their ordering requirements.
