Since our rebrand, around this time last year, we've been working on a huge update to help esports directors, owners, and admins manage their outfitting needs and propel their organization's branding through merchandise as seamlessly and easily as we could imagine.
A comprehensive comparison of three popular textile printing methods: Screen Printing, Direct to Film (DTF) Printing, and Direct to Garment (DTG) Printing. Each method is evaluated based on cost efficiency, durability, setup time, detail and color range, fabric compatibility, environmental impact, and the feel of the print. Screen Printing is highlighted for its cost-effectiveness in large batches and vibrant colors, though it has high setup costs and environmental concerns. DTF Printing offers versatility and high-detail prints without pre-treatment but involves a complex process and can leave a heavier feel. DTG Printing excels in producing detailed, vibrant prints with a soft feel, making it ideal for small orders, though it is less durable and more costly for large production runs. The comparison aims to help businesses and individuals choose the most suitable printing technique for their specific needs.
In the realm of digital design and printing, achieving true color accuracy is both an art and a science. This precision is largely dependent on the successful use and understanding of ICC (International Color Consortium) color profiles, as well as advanced visualization techniques. These tools play a critical role in ensuring what you see on your screen is as close as possible to the final printed product. This blog post aims to unravel the complexities of ICC color profiles and explore the innovative use of 3D color space visualization to enhance our understanding of printable colors. We use color profiles calibrated for the specific printers to ensure what you see on the screen is as perceptually close to what is actually printed as possible. Since the gamut of actual printed colors is not as absolute or as uniform as sRGB, not all RGB values can be converted to a printable color while simultaneously ensuring all printable colors can fit into the displayed RGB gamut, which is a priority.

In this guide we will introduce and elaborate on the key factors that you may want to consider when shopping for a custom esports jersey for your team or gaming brand. This guide will include the different types of jerseys, printing methods, fabrics ordering options, fulfillment, and distribution. There are a lot of moving parts with any custom product; but esports introduces additional challenges.
To create a good esports brand or team name, start by defining your brand identity and understanding your target audience. Brainstorm ideas with your team and evaluate the options based on their alignment with your brand, memorability, and uniqueness. Check for name availability online, including domain names and social media handles. Get feedback from trusted individuals, test the name with a wider audience, and then finalize the best option. Launch your team with consistent branding across all platforms, engage with fans, and cultivate strong relationships with your audience.

We have been in discussions with Garden State Esports for several months in order to develop and refine a league partnership program that not only works for the league but also for every single school or team within that league. We are pleased to say that the solution fit nicely within our tier pricing schema and provides discount advantage perks to participating schools within Garden State Esports that chooses to participate.
With the rebrand, we are introducing template categories. We want to provide greater creative opportunity to designers within the same template theme. Previously, for example, if your team logo featured a hexagon shape then you were likely to gravitate towards our hexagon themed jersey. Previously, there's only been a single hexagon themed jersey template. So by that perspective, your options were limited. Well, that's not the case anymore. With our new product filtering option within our online designer, you will now be able to browse templates within the same theme. Our concern with limiting templates previously was in regards to overwhelming clients. Since that concern is solved with template filtering, we will fully embrace exploring each template niche with much greater and ongoing options.
