Description
The Gildan G129 is a 9 oz DryBlend fleece stadium blanket measuring 50 by 60 inches in a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend. The DryBlend wicking finish pulls moisture away from the surface, making the G129 functional for outdoor sporting events where rain and dew are a factor. The 50/50 blend combines cotton softness with polyester durability and pill resistance through multiple wash cycles.
At 50x60 inches, the G129 covers a stadium seat and wraps around the shoulders comfortably. The double-needle hemmed edges finish cleanly without fraying. The 9 oz weight provides warmth without excessive bulk, which matters for programs that ship blankets folded into gift boxes or promotional kits.
Screen printing on the fleece face is the primary decoration method for stadium blanket programs. The fleece pile holds plastisol ink with good coverage for single and multi-color logos. Embroidery works for corner or center logo placement with a dense stabilizer behind the fleece. The 50% polyester content makes the G129 partially sublimation compatible on lighter colors, though the fleece texture limits fine detail.
