Flare Custom, a European brand of custom sportswear, integrates names and numbers directly into the fabric through sublimation. No surface-applied marking: the result is clean, durable, with no added thickness, and doesn't flake in the wash. Names and numbers are included in the price, whatever the numbers. It's one of the most important aspects of a team jersey: every player must be identifiable, and the marking must last season after season. Here's how names and numbers customization works at Flare.
Yes, player numbering is included, whatever the numbers. There's no surcharge to number your team in the standard way. The numbers are sublimated into the fabric, in the position of your choice — chest, back, shorts — and in the colours of your design. This integration guarantees a clean, durable result, without the added thickness of an applied number.
Yes. Individual names are included in the price, sublimated just like the rest of the design. You provide us with the list of names, and we integrate them cleanly, in a typography consistent with your kit. Each player thus receives their custom jersey with their name, in a uniform presentation across the whole team.
That's possible too. If you need specific numbers, outside a simple sequence — for example numbers assigned individually to each player — this is included too, at no extra cost. State your requirement when ordering: we include it in your quote and in the design.
The placement is free and integrates into your design. The number is traditionally on the back and sometimes on the chest or shorts; the name usually sits above or below the back number. As everything is sublimated, these elements can be placed wherever your mockup requires, with no technical surface constraint, and in the colours and font of your choice.
No. As everything is sublimated, names and numbers are embedded in the fibre rather than laid on top. There is therefore nothing that can peel off, crack or fade prematurely, unlike a marking applied to the surface. That is a decisive advantage for intensive use, wash after wash — a club jersey keeps sharp names and numbers all season. To understand the technique, see the page sublimation, and for the comparison with an applied marking, see flock or sublimation.
Yes. The font used for names and numbers, and their colour, are matched to your design. You can go for a plain, legible style or something bolder, in keeping with the club's identity. Colours are reproduced from a precise reference — CMYK or Pantone — for a faithful result. See the page colours & Pantone.
Yes, across every team discipline and beyond. Footballers, basketball players, handball players, rugby players, futsal and hockey players get numbers and names; esports players and darts or bowling players can display their handle; runners and triathletes build in their race number. Sublimation makes this customisation possible everywhere, in the same spirit. Discover all our sports.
