3 mistakes to avoid if you want to create custom cycling clothing.
Want to create custom cycling apparel for a sporting event, but worried about making mistakes when creating your low-cost custom jerseys and other apparel? Don't worry: today we'll talk about the most common mistakes, so your event stands out and is a real success! Let's take a look at the mistakes you might make when ordering your cycling apparel… and please avoid them all!
Mistake #1: Not putting too much weight on the fabric
Custom cycling clothing must be appropriate for the sport. Don't make the mistake of skimping on fabric and opting for cotton. This material is perfect for custom workwear, but not for sportswear. It takes a long time to dry, and cyclists may experience significant discomfort when riding in a sweat-soaked T-shirt. Therefore, it's best to choose a technical fabric that's easy to clean and dries very quickly. But what is technical fabric? This is the most commonly used material in sports, as it is very comfortable, breathable, lightweight, yet durable. Furthermore, it dries very quickly even when worn, so cyclists' (and other athletes') sweat evaporates in no time. Its resistance to washing, even at high temperatures, also helps eliminate unpleasant odors from cycling T-shirts and shorts. The most commonly used technical materials in sports are nylon and polyester, which you can choose when creating affordable custom T-shirts and other garments at burger-print.nl ! Don't make the embarrassing mistake of ordering clothing made of the wrong fabric: choose technical nylon or polyester and you'll bring joy to all the cyclists participating in the race or event.
Mistake #2: Not getting accessories that match your cycling gear
When organizing a cycling event or race, it's important to order not only custom sportswear but also a variety of matching accessories. Affordable custom T-shirts and shorts would be too basic a kit to make the race or event truly memorable. A cap, water bottle, and a lightweight drawstring backpack (all printed) are the perfect accessories to provide cyclists with a kit that's sure to be appreciated. Not to mention, participants will reuse these accessories and help raise awareness of the event (perfect if you organize it annually or periodically!). Wondering where to find them? You can visit the Accessories category on burger-print.nl: you'll find everything you need to organize a unique cycling kit!
Mistake #3: Not Thinking About the Audience
Another mistake you might make when organizing a cycling event or race is not considering the spectator's clothing. While shorts, T-shirts, or technical vests aren't essential, a kit including a backpack or tote bag, a personalized cotton T-shirt , and a water bottle will make fans truly happy. You can also ask for a small fee or donation to purchase the kit, which can cover part of the costs (which are still minimal if you buy on burger-print.nl ) or donate the money raised to charity. The fan kit offers several advantages:
- it can make race spectators feel even more connected to the event, the participants and the staff;
- Continue to promote the race in the months and years following the event. You'll likely see an increasing number of cyclists participate precisely because of the advertising provided by the affordable custom jerseys and other kit!
More tips for your custom cycling clothing
Here are some bonus tips to make your cycling event truly perfect:
- Order jerseys and shorts in different sizes, perhaps having participants fill out a pre-race form with their measurements. This way, no one will be stuck during the event: cyclists can pedal comfortably without the risk of wearing sportswear that's too tight or, worse still, too loose.
- Choose a print color that contrasts nicely with the background of your shirts and shorts. Aesthetics are always welcome, even in these cases!
- If the event is winter, also order inexpensive custom hoodies and hats so cyclists won't be afraid of the cold before and after the race.
