All About Sewn Twill Hockey Patches

Sublimated Tackle Twill Patches

Sublimated tackle twill hockey patches combine the durability of traditional tackle twill with the vibrant, detailed designs achievable through sublimation printing.

Sublimated twill patches consist of a single layer of twill with the artwork dye sublimated directly on the twill fabric.  The sublimation inks permanently dye the twill fabric for a vibrant, detailed, and permanent design. Sublimated patches are zig-zag stitched to the hockey jerseys for a truly professional look.

Sublimation printing allows for a range of artwork design not capable with cut pieces of twill and embroidery.  For example intricate color fading or shadowing are common with sublimation.

Sublimated tackle twill patches offer the best of both worlds: the durability of tackle twill fabric and the high-resolution, detailed designs achievable through sublimation printing. They are commonly used on mid to top tier hockey jerseys.

Applique Tackle Twill Patches

Hockey tackle twill appliqué patches are embroidered patches commonly used on high end hockey jerseys. Tackle twill refers to a durable fabric commonly used in sports uniforms due to its resilience and ability to withstand the rigors of athletic activity. Appliqué involves attaching one piece of fabric to another, together with embroidery to complete the logo patch.

Hockey tackle twill appliqué patches are frequently used for teams that require a top tier look and extreme durability. The process typically involves cutting the desired shapes and letters from tackle twill fabric and then stitching them onto the jersey using a zigzag or satin stitch around the edges. This method creates a textured, raised appearance on the jerseys.

These patches not only serve a practical purpose by identifying players and teams but also contribute to the overall aesthetic of the jersey. They can be customized in terms of color, size, and design, allowing teams to showcase their unique identity. Additionally, tackle twill applique patches are known for their durability, ensuring that they can withstand the physical demands of hockey.
