Tips for Choosing the Right performance shirts

The embroidery tradition has lived on as well.
Since polo shirts are popular on the golf course,
in the board room, and around town, many
companies put their logo on the shirts and give
them to employees and clients.
Choosing a polo shirt for your company logo can
be kind of overwhelming, especially if you're not
particularly fashion-conscious. Here are the top
5 features to pay attention to when making your
selection.

Fabric type and texture
The original polo shirts were 100 cotton, and
that fabric is still very popular - especially
premium cottons. These are particular varieties
of cotton noted for their quality, softness, and
durability. Cotton/poly blends are also popular,
because the fabric is wrinkle-resistant and less
likely to shrink.
Finally, you may prefer an exotic or unusual
fabric like bamboo or eco-friendly choices like
recycled polyester and organic cotton.

Fabric content is just half the equation,
however. The texture of the fabric determines its
look and feel. Jersey is a casual, inexpensive
choice. The same sort of fabric used for
T-shirts, it is great for screen printing or
embroidery.
Finally, mesh fabric is popular for athletic
settings, because the space between the fibers
allows the garment to breathe.

Performance Features
The term "performance fabric" refers to a fabric
that has been designed to provide practical
benefits to the wearer. They make the experience
of wearing the garment more pleasant and
convenient. Moisture-wicking or
moisture-management polo shirts pull sweat away
from the body and promote evaporation. 
They keep the wearer cool and dry, and are highly
desired by golfers and hard-working employees.
Where there's sweat, there may be odor, so
anti-microbial features are important to curb the
growth of smelly bacteria.

Brand
It's possible to put your logo on a polo shirt
with a recognizable brand name. The people you
give a brand-name polo to will see the brand and
know they've gotten a high-quality garment. There
is one possible downside to a brand-name sport
shirt,
The other option is private label polo shirts.
These garments are manufactured specifically for
embroidery and other logo decoration. You may not
know the names from retail stores, but the
quality and value may be excellent.

Color
Most of the time, polo shirts are one color from
top to bottom - in other words, they are solid
color sport shirts. Another option, which is
favored in athletic settings, is the color block
polo shirt. This garment combines different
colors in different areas of the shirt.
11
Decoration
Last but certainly not least, consider the
decoration method used to apply your logo to the
polo shirt. Embroidery on the left-chest area is
the traditional option, going all the way back to
Lacoste's original crocodile. The benefits of
embroidery include durability and a polished,
classy look. If you're going for a less
traditional look, other spots for your logo
include the upper back or the sleeve.
12
New sport shirt decorating trends include laser
etching, which essentially "burns" the surface of
the fabric to create a tone-on-tone design, and
heat seals. Taking all these factors into
account - and, of course, the all-important
budget and timeline - choosing a polo shirt
becomes a matter of mixing and matching the
features you like.
