01 — Overview
What are school house jerseys?
School house jerseys are sublimation-printed polyester sports jerseys made in one colour per house, so a school's red, blue, green and yellow houses are visible at a glance on sports day. Each jersey can carry the school crest, house name, and the student's name and class number on the back, printed individually in the same production run.
Most K-12 schools run a four-house system, often with mythological or geographic house names. Sports day, inter-house athletics meets and annual physical education events all need apparel that splits the school into its houses. Buyers are sports and PE departments, sports day coordinators and house masters at CBSE, ICSE, IB and IGCSE schools. Sublimation suits the job because the house colour goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, and per-piece personalisation costs nothing extra.
02 — Inclusions
What's included in a school house and sports day kit
Jersey Round-Neck Micro PP 150 GSM — the everyday house jersey. Smooth-surface polyester for sharp sublimation, a full house-colour block, and name and class number on the back.
Jersey Polo Micro PP 150 GSM — for senior house captains and PE staff. Same fabric with a structured collar and button placket, so house leadership stands apart from participants.
Sports Shorts Dot Knit 180 GSM — matching colour blocks for the lower half of the kit. Optional, but common in schools running inter-house athletics meets.
Polo T-Shirt Techno Matty — performance polyester with moisture management for PE teachers, sports coordinators and visiting officials, who move as much as the students on sports day.
Captain and vice-captain prints — "CAPTAIN" or "VICE-CAPTAIN" plus name on the back, handled as per-piece text in the same sublimation file.
03 — House ratios
How schools coordinate house ratios
The one piece of information schools most often forget to share at order time is the house-wise headcount split. Many assume an even split across houses, but in practice the ratios change from year to year. Share the actual house-wise, class-wise and size-wise breakdown in one spreadsheet when you order, so pieces are cut to the real distribution. Re-cutting after production is expensive and adds noticeable time to the timeline.
A simple way to structure the sheet is one row per student with five columns: house, class, size, name and role (participant, captain or vice-captain). Staff polos go on a separate tab with name and size. The same sheet then drives cutting, colour allocation and the per-piece names, so nothing has to be re-entered by hand and the house totals are checked before the run starts.
Schools also tend to keep a small buffer per house for late admissions and size swaps on the day. Agree that buffer in the quote rather than ordering extras later, since a top-up run after sports day rarely matches the timing you need.
If the same houses also appear on annual day tees, the colour blocks can be matched across both orders. See school annual day T-shirts for the cotton and spun tee side of the programme.

06 — FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric is best for school house jerseys?
Micro PP polyester at 150 GSM is the usual choice for school house jerseys. It has a smooth surface with no texture, which gives the sharpest sublimation print, so the school crest and house lettering stay crisp. It is light enough for running and athletics, and with sublimation the house colour goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top as a printed layer.
Can each house get a different colour jersey from the same order?
Yes. Sublimation prints from a per-piece file, so each of the four houses gets its full colour block, whether red, blue, green, yellow or the school's own colours, within the same production run. Share the house-wise headcount split at order time and the ratio is cut across the four colours. There is no extra setup cost per house.
What's the difference between Micro PP and Dot Knit polyester?
Micro PP (150 GSM) is smooth-surface polyester with no texture, giving the sharpest possible sublimation print, which is why it is used for house jerseys. Dot Knit (180 GSM) has a textured dot pattern that adds visual depth and grip. In school sports day kits, Dot Knit is used for the matching sports shorts.
Is there a minimum order for school house jerseys?
No. There is no minimum order quantity for school house jerseys, so a small school or a single house can order. The school approves a physical sample first, then confirms the full run. Larger schools combine every house, the matching shorts and the staff polos into one production cycle, with runs scaling to 10,000+ units per SKU.
How much do custom house jerseys cost per piece?
Per-piece pricing for house jerseys depends on the garment (round-neck jersey, jersey polo, shorts or staff polo), the size of the order across all houses, and the mix of items in the kit. Per-piece names, class numbers and house colours do not add setup cost under sublimation. Each school receives written per-piece pricing within 24 hours.
How early should we order sports day jerseys?
Plan for 60 days or more before sports day for standard production with a sample buffer. Orders 30–60 days out can run as rush production with a surcharge, and under 30 days the option is stock blanks with print. October and November is the peak sports day window for schools and colleges, so lock orders earlier for those months.
Do you supply matching shorts for inter-house athletics?
Yes. Sports shorts in 180 GSM Dot Knit polyester are sublimation-printed to match each house jersey. Most full sports day kits pair the jersey and shorts in the same house colour, with the school crest on the front leg or side panel. Shorts are optional and can be added for athletics teams only, or for the whole school.
Can house captain jerseys carry "CAPTAIN" labels on the back?
Yes. The standard pattern is "CAPTAIN" plus name on the back of the house captain's jersey, and "VICE-CAPTAIN" plus name for vice-captains. Some schools also put captains in jersey polos instead of round-necks so they stand out on the field. Sublimation makes these per-piece text variations free beyond the file work.
