When ordering custom soccer uniforms for your team, one of the most important decisions you will make is choosing the right fabric. The fabric you choose affects how your kits feel, how long they last, and how your team performs on the pitch. In this guide, we break down the three most common fabric weights used in custom soccer uniforms, so you can make the best choice for your team.
The 140GSM fabric is our lightest option, designed specifically for match day. This ultra-lightweight, fully sublimated fabric is breathable, quick-drying, and comfortable even during intense matches. It has a soft, smooth feel against the skin and wicks sweat away from your body, keeping you cool and dry throughout the 90 minutes.
Best for: League match days, tournament play, teams that prioritize comfort and performance.
The 160GSM fabric is our most popular option for training kits. This slightly thicker, more durable fabric is built to withstand daily practice sessions and repeated washing. It is anti-pilling, holds its shape wash after wash, and offers excellent value for teams that train multiple times per week.
Best for: Daily training, youth teams, amateur clubs on a budget.
The 200GSM fabric is our heaviest, most durable option, designed specifically for goalkeeper kits. This reinforced fabric comes with built-in EVA padding on the elbows and chest, providing extra protection during dives and tackles. It is tough enough to stand up to repeated impact and rough play.
Best for: Goalkeeper match and training kits, teams that need extra durability.
For most youth teams and amateur clubs, we recommend choosing 140GSM for your match kits and 160GSM for your training kits. This gives you the best of both worlds: lightweight performance on match day, and durable, long-lasting fabric for daily practice.
All of our fabrics are 100% polyester, fully sublimation printed, and come with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not sure which fabric is right for your team, we offer physical sample jerseys for just $25, which is fully deductible from your bulk order.
