Almost every volleyball jersey produced today is comprised of man-made polyester yarns.  While the fabric is not what you'd remember it to be back in the 1970's when seemingly everything was made out of polyester (sorry, but I think we'll all agree that it was a bad fashion decade - think Travolta in his white suit). Our fabrics are comprised of 72 denier polyester yarns (silk is about 110 denier yarns), which affords the perfect mix of softness and durability for a performance volleyball fabric.  Polyester has become the volleyball  fabric of choice for a number of reasons: it is durable yet lightweight, maintains color-fast properties (rarely bleeds like cotton or cotton blends), is a consistent fabric to produce because it is a man-made process and can be easily replicated and finally it can be engineered for unparalleled softness on the body.

At the core of the volleyball uniform is the knitting process that creates the volleyball fabric. Knitting determines the weight, texture and look of the fabric. Our volleyball fabrics are knitted on the finest twenty-eight cut jacquard machines available. This ensures a consistent texture and design of our volleyball fabrics. Furthermore, our volleyball fabrics are dyed to maintain a consistent shade of color and always matched back to the original intended color. Why? Because it provides a consistent standard to compare to instead of a color match that has migrated away from the original color after thousands of yards of fabric through the factory.  If you didn't match to the original color, it would be like playing whisper down the lane with your volleyball fabric - and we don't do that!

Some buyers of volleyball uniforms become "mesmerized" by the shiny fabric sheen on some volleyball jerseys.  You will notice that these high-sheen volleyball jerseys are less expensive than similar "dull" or "flat" volleyball jerseys. Here's why: bright, shiny yarns do not go through a final softening process where the polyester yarns are "fluffed" - it's almost like putting your towels in the dryer after they've been hanging on the line - where the yarns become softer and more luxurious and result in a nicer volleyball fabric. Be aware when purchasing these volleyball jerseys that you are buying an inferior product and that these jerseys will not feel as nice on the body.

Sublimated volleyball fabrics - through a heat transfer process, a sublimated design actually dyes the thread of the fabric. There is nothing laying on top of the fabric (as opposed to the process of using inks in silkscreen printing) and the feel of the fabric does not change. It only changes the color. Your image can't be washed out and won't fade with washings. It is as permanent as the fabric itself. Sublimation can be used to create intricate designs (like the Flower Power or Patriot Collection) or a simple striping design (like the Newcastle or the Villa).

Neck Trims

The neck trims used in conjunction with the volleyball jerseys we produce are all 100% polyester. Why? By having each component comprised of polyester yarns - their physical properties are identical - which means there will be no migration of dyes from the neck trim onto the fabric and vice versa. It just the detail that makes Totally volleyball the right choice for purchasing your volleyball uniforms, jerseys or shorts..
