Team Colours, Stripe Precision, Unlimited Design — Built for Organisations That Take Their Identity Seriously

The stripe is one of the most powerful visual signals in team identity.

It communicates belonging, structure, and professionalism in a single glance — which is why it has been the foundation of sports uniforms, corporate activewear, and team apparel for over a century.

The PK Planett Custom Stripe Hoodie takes that visual language and removes every constraint that standard decoration methods impose on it.

The sublimated stripe panel is produced using dye sublimation — heat-fused directly into the fabric — which means your stripe colours are reproduced with photographic precision, not approximated through thread counts or screen separations.

Unlimited colours in the stripe panel.

Unlimited logos within the design.

Gradients, colour transitions, fine detail — all rendered exactly as your designer intended, against a clean black poly/cotton body that anchors the stripe and keeps the overall garment looking sharp.

Available for both men and women, in sizes from A(2XS) to A(5XL).

Custom made to order.

30-Day Business Accounts are available for established Australian organisations.

The Stripe Format: Why It Works for Team Identity

The stripe panel on the Custom Stripe Hoodie runs across the shoulders and upper chest — the most visually prominent zone of the garment when worn.

This placement means your team colours are immediately visible from a distance — on the sideline, in the stands, at the event, or in the office.

The stripe format is particularly effective for organisations with two or more brand colours, because it allows each colour to be presented with equal visual weight rather than one dominating the other.

It is also the format that most naturally accommodates sponsor logos — the horizontal stripe provides a natural banner for logo placement that reads clearly at distance and in photography.

And because the stripe is sublimated rather than embroidered or screen printed, the colours are rendered with the same precision as a professionally printed banner — not approximated through the constraints of thread or ink.

The B2B Friction-Free Guide

Design Process

The sublimated stripe panel accommodates any artwork file in standard vector or high-resolution raster format.

Our team will review your artwork and provide a digital proof of the stripe design before production commences — no garments are produced until you have approved the layout, colours, and logo placement.

If you need design assistance, our in-house team can work with your brand guidelines, team colours, and sponsor requirements to develop a stripe design that maximises the panel area.

Production

The Custom Stripe Hoodie is made to order — production commences after artwork approval and order confirmation.

Lead times vary based on order volume and current production scheduling.

Contact our team at the point of enquiry to confirm current lead times — for season launches, presentation nights, and event merchandise, early engagement is strongly recommended.

Sizing

Available from A(2XS) through to A(5XL), the Custom Stripe Hoodie covers the full range of your team without requiring separate men's and women's orders.

The ‘A’ prefix denotes the PK Planett sizing system — contact our team for a detailed size chart before placing your order.

We recommend confirming sizing with our team and ordering a fit sample before committing to a full production run — see our Samples Ordering Process below.

Real-World Logic: The Custom Stripe Hoodie in Australian Team Environments

Application A — Amateur Football Club, South Australia

A football club is producing end-of-season hoodies for 120 players, coaches, and committee members.

The club's colours are royal blue and gold — a combination that has never been accurately reproduced via embroidery because the gold thread available never quite matches the club's Pantone specification.

The sublimated stripe panel renders the royal blue and gold at exact Pantone accuracy, with the club crest and two major sponsor logos placed within the stripe.

The result is a hoodie that looks like it was designed for this club specifically — because it was.

Application B — Corporate Activewear Program, Queensland

A logistics company is introducing a new activewear uniform for its warehouse and operations team — a mixed-gender workforce ranging from small to large frame.

The Operations Manager needs a hoodie that carries the company's brand colours in the stripe, accommodates the company logo and a safety certification mark in the panel, and fits both male and female staff from the same size run.

The Custom Stripe Hoodie covers all three requirements from a single product, a single order, and a single invoice.

Application C — School Representative Team, New South Wales

A secondary school is producing hoodies for its representative sports teams across swimming, athletics, and cross country.

Each team needs the school crest, the sport designation, and the house colour stripe — three distinct design elements that would require three separate embroidery placements at significant additional cost.

The sublimated stripe accommodates all three elements in a single production step, at a unit price that fits within the school's per-student uniform budget.

B2B Intelligence FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between the Custom Stripe Hoodie and the Custom Panel Hoodie?

The Custom Stripe Hoodie features a sublimated stripe across the shoulders and upper chest — a structured, horizontal design format that is particularly effective for team sports, school uniforms, and corporate activewear where a clean, strong visual identity at distance is the priority.

The Custom Panel Hoodie features a larger sublimated area covering the full top panel including the hood, providing more design real estate for complex brand imagery, promotional merchandise, and maximum logo coverage.

Both products use the same sublimation technology with unlimited colours and logos — the choice comes down to the design format that best suits your visual identity and application.

Q2: Can we match our exact Pantone or brand colours in the stripe?

Yes. Sublimation reproduces colour from digital artwork files, which means your Pantone or brand colour specifications can be matched with a high degree of accuracy — significantly closer than embroidery thread matching or screen printing ink mixing.

A digital proof is provided before production commences, allowing you to review and approve colour accuracy before any garments are produced.

Q3: Can we include sponsor logos in the stripe design?

Yes. The sublimated stripe accommodates unlimited logos with no additional cost per logo element.

The horizontal stripe format is particularly well-suited to sponsor logo placement — it provides a natural banner that reads clearly at distance and in photography, making it effective for clubs and events where sponsor visibility is a key requirement.

Q4: Is the Custom Stripe Hoodie suitable for female staff and athletes?

Yes. The Custom Stripe Hoodie is listed in both Mens and Ladies Jumpers collections and is available in a unisex size run from A(2XS) to A(5XL).

This means a single order covers your entire mixed-gender team without requiring separate men's and women's products, separate orders, or separate invoices.

Q5: How does the sublimation hold up through sport and repeated washing?

Sublimation dye is heat-fused into the polyester fibres at a molecular level — it is not a surface application and cannot crack, peel, or wash out.

The stripe colours will maintain their fidelity through the repeated washing cycles of an active sports or workwear program, provided standard care instructions are followed.

Q6: Can we see a proof of the stripe design before production?

Yes. A digital proof of the stripe design is provided for your approval before any production commences.

The proof confirms colour accuracy, logo placement, stripe layout, and overall design intent.

No garments are produced until you have reviewed and approved the proof — this is a non-negotiable step in our custom production process.

Q7: What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?

Minimum order quantities apply for custom sublimation production.

Lead times vary based on order volume, design complexity, and current production scheduling.

Contact our team at the point of enquiry with your volume, size distribution, and required delivery date — we will confirm the applicable minimum, provide a production quote, and advise on scheduling options for your program.
