Customised Tracksuits: Showcase the Unique Identity of Your School

Posted by ssashirts on April 4th, 2015

Tracksuits have become exercise staples, but they never lost their value as a sports uniform. As tracksuits became more mainstream, they also evolved into very fashionable items, especially when designers began adopting the basic design and structure of the garment and used many different kinds of textured fabrics to make it their own and turn the garment into something more versatile than an exercise suit. 

Despite going mainstream, tracksuits remain to be a comfortable and practical wear when performing exercise and sports. In fact, official sports teams still widely use them not only for training but to strengthen team spirit and make a statement about their team's identity. The sense of belongingness that these kinds of uniforms bring is priceless, and can truly help build and strengthen team values and pride. Just like how modern designers took tracksuits and made them their own, you too, can create tracksuit designs that best showcase your school's or your team's identity without compromising the quality and the comfort of the garment.

When designing custom tracksuits, remember that you should never lose the comfort and performance factor of the garment in place of style. Manufacturers who allow custom design and styling of tracksuits make it a point that these important elements are not lost whenever personalising the design and overall look of the garment. Visualising the look that you want to achieve prior to designing will make it easier for you to choose the trim, fabric, colour scheming, and other design elements that will make the design your own and help your track uniforms embody your school's identity effectively. 

Initially, you can simply draw an outline of a jacket and a pant silhouette to make a visual representation of your idea. This will make it easier to alter details that you want to put into the design. Sketch several versions of your initial idea and play around with the different elements to make the design more representative of your school's identity. Include your school's insignia or logo or add its monogram in ideal places, such as across the back or down one of the pants legs. By doing this you will create a sign of recognition for your team and school during competition. 

Today, tracksuit and uniform manufacturers make designing easier for custom clients by providing web applications. In this process, they can alter basic designs and visualise their idea more effectively, to make sure that they are getting the exact design and look that they desire for the tracksuits.
