Sports are more than competition—they are about identity, performance, and pride. In South Africa, rugby, soccer, and cycling are not just pastimes but national passions. For teams at every level, from grassroots clubs to professional outfits, apparel has become a defining part of the sporting experience. Enter sublimated sportswear: a technology that fuses design with fabric, creating vibrant, durable, and high-performance garments. Three6ixty has been at the forefront of this transformation, producing custom rugby kits, sublimated soccer kits, and custom cycling kits that meet the exacting demands of athletes while showcasing bold, unique designs.
Why Sublimation Technology Leads the Field
The Difference in Fabric
Unlike vinyl or screen printing, sublimation embeds colour directly into polyester fibres. This means the design is not simply layered on top of the garment but becomes part of the fabric itself. For athletes, this translates into lightweight apparel that stretches, breathes, and moves naturally with the body.
Designs That Last
South African sports demand durability—kits are exposed to intense sunlight, sweat, mud, and constant washing. Sublimation ensures colours remain vivid and sharp, season after season. No cracking, peeling, or fading—just a professional look that endures as long as the fabric does.
Unlimited Creative Possibilities
For teams, identity is everything. Sublimation allows entire garments to become canvases for creativity. Complex gradients, detailed logos, and bold patterns can cover every inch of fabric without limitations. With Three6ixty guiding the design process, clubs achieve looks that are distinctive, modern, and instantly recognisable.
Custom Rugby Kits That Withstand the Toughest Play
The Demands of Rugby
Rugby is one of the most physical sports in the world. Jerseys are pulled, stretched, and subjected to intense impact. Traditional printing often struggles under these conditions, with vinyl peeling or screen prints cracking.
A Club Success Story
One local rugby club partnered with Three6ixty to upgrade from traditional jerseys to custom sublimated rugby kits. Their old kits were heavy, uncomfortable, and frequently replaced due to damage. With sublimation, the club introduced lightweight jerseys featuring reinforced panels for scrums and tackles. The vibrant designs included the club crest, sponsors, and dynamic stripes across the body. Season after season, the colours remained bright despite endless contact sessions and washes. Players reported greater freedom of movement and less chafing, while the club saved on replacement costs.
The Three6ixty Advantage
Three6ixty’s rugby kits combine sublimation with performance fabrics designed for the sport. Reinforced seams, breathable panels, and precision cuts ensure athletes can compete at their peak without worrying about their apparel. The result is a kit that inspires pride and performs as hard as the players wearing it.
Sublimated Soccer Kits for Fast-Paced Play
The Unique Needs of Soccer
Soccer is relentless—ninety minutes of constant running, sudden sprints, and sharp turns. Kits must be light, flexible, and moisture-wicking. Appearance also matters: soccer jerseys are icons, instantly recognisable symbols of clubs and nations.
A Community Team Transformation
A township soccer team approached Three6ixty for new uniforms. Their existing kits were faded and inconsistent, giving them an unprofessional appearance. Three6ixty designed sublimated soccer kits featuring bold club colours, custom sleeve patterns, and a central sponsor logo. The sublimated fabric kept players cool on the pitch, while the colours remained brilliant after months of training and competition. Fans began to recognise the team by their striking new design, creating a stronger identity both on and off the field.
Why Sublimation Works Best
For soccer, sublimation offers total design freedom without adding weight or restricting movement. Numbers, names, logos, and intricate graphics are all integrated seamlessly into the jersey. With Three6ixty’s expertise, teams receive kits that are both performance-driven and fan-worthy.
Custom Cycling Kits That Go the Distance
The Challenges of Cycling Apparel
Cycling is unique: athletes spend hours in their kits, exposed to heat, wind, and rain. Comfort is essential—garments must stretch, breathe, and remain aerodynamic. At the same time, visibility and sponsorship recognition are key, making design a critical part of cycling gear.
A Racing Team Upgrade
A provincial cycling team worked with Three6ixty to create sublimated cycling kits for their riders. The design featured a dynamic gradient pattern in team colours, with sponsor logos placed strategically for maximum visibility during races. Riders noted the difference immediately: the kits were lighter, more breathable, and moved seamlessly with their bodies. Even after gruelling training rides and multi-stage races, the colours remained sharp and the fabric intact.
Lasting Benefits
Three6ixty’s custom cycling kits combine sublimation with technical fabrics that wick moisture, reduce drag, and provide comfort during long rides. For cycling teams, the blend of high-performance function and standout design ensures athletes can focus on the race while proudly representing their sponsors and supporters.
Performance Meets Identity
Pride on the Pitch and Track
When athletes pull on sublimated kits from Three6ixty, they feel a stronger connection to their team. The unique designs set them apart, while the comfort and durability allow them to perform without distraction. From the first whistle to the final sprint, sublimated apparel provides both identity and confidence.
A Marketing Tool in Motion
Sports apparel is more than functional—it is a marketing powerhouse. Sublimated kits display sponsor logos and team colours with clarity, turning every match and race into an opportunity for exposure. With Three6ixty’s guidance, teams can maximise the visual impact of their kits, ensuring they look professional in every setting.
Reducing Costs and Replacements
Because sublimated kits last longer, teams save money over time. Fewer replacements mean clubs can invest in development and facilities rather than repeatedly buying new gear. This practical advantage makes sublimation a smart financial choice as well as a performance one.
