A SHORT GUIDE ON HOW WE CAN MATCH YOUR CLUBS COLOURS EXACTLY
Are you tired of constantly getting inconsistent colours from suppliers? Or worried that going with a new supplier means that they won't be able to match your colours exactly? We are experts in colour matching and are 100% confident we can match your clubs colours.
OKAY GREAT, BUT CAN YOU PRINT MY CLUBS COLOUR?
Yes we can. In short, printing in CMYK and RGB is incosistent, with each printer producing subtle differences due to elements out of their control. Pantone has been used for decades as the universally accepted colour matching system, allowing manufacturers from anywhere in the world to consistently match almost any colour you can think of. Prior to printing your clubs order, we will match your clubs colours or previously printed jersey.
01
Matching to a physical sample

COLOUR FAQs
Why do you print using Pantone?
Printing with CMYK and RGB can be unpredictable as there will always be subtle differences in the colours printed due to external factors like temperature. Pantone allows factories all around the world to match their inks to a universally accepted colour book, meaning we can print your clubs colours the same every time.
Why does my jersey colour look different on my screen?
Whenever we provide renders for your garments, the colours you see on screen won't be exactly what is printed. Despite the physical garments using your Pantone, what you see on screen will be different as your screen uses RGB, which will display different to the physical product that is printed.
How can I guarantee you match my colour correctly?
The best way to match your clubs colours will be to always provide us with a physical sample of the previous jersey you are trying to match to. Whilst you may think that your clubs colours are Pantone 185c for example, your previous manufacturer may have printed Pantone 186c instead. We will always be able to match most accurately to a physical sample.
I've got my colours on my phone, can you match to that?
No. Phone and computer screens use RGB colour modes, which are different across every device. The colour you see on your screen will differ with varying screen brightnesses as well.
I don't know my clubs Pantone, what do I do?
We can work together to find you your clubs Pantone. We can do this by either matching one of your previously printed jerseys, or we can show you our fabric swatch that has every single Pantone printed on it, for you to select and approve a colour. If needed we can also convert your RGB/CMYK to a Pantone a print a fabric swatch for you.
