Description
The Jerzees 21M Dri-Power Sport T-Shirt is a 5.3 oz 100% polyester performance blank built for sublimation programs, team athletic uniforms, and any decorated application where moisture management and odor control are part of the garment specification. The 100% polyester construction runs Jerzees' Dri-Power moisture-wicking technology across the full fabric, pulling sweat off the skin during athletic activity and pushing it to the surface to evaporate, keeping the wearer drier longer than a cotton or cotton-blend substrate. Antimicrobial treatment is built into the fabric to limit odor-causing bacteria growth between wash cycles, which matters on team garments worn through practice schedules before laundering. The seamless body, seamed 1x1 rib collar, and double-needle coverstitching on the front neck give the 21M a construction profile consistent with team uniforms and event shirts at a unit cost that holds up on larger runs. The tearaway label keeps the inside of the neck clean for custom neck-label programs common on sublimated team apparel. Available in 12 colours including White, Black, and Safety colours, S through 3XL.
Because the Jerzees 21M is 100% polyester, it opens the full sublimation method across every colour in the range, not just white. Disperse dyes bond into polyester fibres on a molecular level, so sublimation on the 21M produces all-over vivid full-colour prints with no hand feel, no cracking, and no added weight on the garment face. This makes it the correct substrate choice for spirit wear programs, run-event shirts, and sublimated team uniforms where the graphic extends past the standard print area. DTF transfer is the most practical route for programs printing the same art across multiple colourways without investing in sublimation setup: the transfer bonds to the 100% polyester face without migration risk from dye in the fabric, and the tearaway label supports a concurrent custom neck-label press. For screen printing with plastisol, the 100% polyester composition carries the highest dye migration risk in the performance tee category. Low-bleed, low-migration plastisol ink is mandatory on any colour other than white, cure temperature must be set at the absolute lowest effective range for the ink system, and a poly-blocking underbase is required under any light or bright ink on coloured grounds. DTG printing is limited on the 21M because the 100% polyester body provides minimal fibre for pre-treat adhesion and produces muted results compared to a cotton-content substrate. Vinyl and HTV press at low temperature; polyester scorches quickly so monitor the press closely on the first application. Water-based and discharge inks are not viable on this blank.

For team and event programs on the Jerzees 21M: route all-over graphic work to sublimation, which is the primary decoration method for this blank across all 12 colours. DTF is the correct route for multi-colour programs without sublimation equipment, particularly on Safety Orange and Safety Green where dye migration risk under plastisol is highest. If screen printing with plastisol, specify low-bleed ink in writing with your ink supplier and set your dryer at the lowest effective cure temperature before the full run.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sublimation | ✓ | fully viable across all 12 colours; 100% polyester allows disperse dyes to bond into the fibres on any ground colour for vivid all-over full-colour prints with no hand feel or cracking; the correct primary method for team uniforms and event shirts on this blank |
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | most practical route for multi-colour programs without sublimation setup; bonds to the 100% polyester face without migration risk; tearaway label supports concurrent custom neck-label programs on the same press pass |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | 100% polyester carries the highest dye migration risk in the performance tee category; low-bleed low-migration ink is mandatory on any colour other than white; cure at the absolute lowest effective temperature; poly-blocking underbase required under light or bright inks on coloured grounds |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | press at low temperature; polyester scorches quickly so monitor heat closely on the first application and reduce temperature below standard cotton settings; suitable for names, numbers, and small design applications |
| DTG | ✗ | 100% polyester provides minimal fibre for pre-treat adhesion; results are muted compared to cotton-content substrates; not the recommended route on this blank; route full-colour all-over work to sublimation instead |
| Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) | ✗ | polyester will not discharge; water-based inks do not bond reliably to the polyester face; not a viable method on the Jerzees 21M |
| Embroidery | ✗ | lightweight 5.3 oz polyester jersey is too thin and stretchy for standard embroidery without significant cut-away stabilisation; not the recommended application for this performance blank |

Fabric Blend by Color Group
Not all colorways share the same fabric composition. Check the blend before ordering for decoration jobs where substrate matters.
| Color Group | Blend | Print Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| White | 100% polyester | Optimal sublimation ground; disperse dyes produce the most vivid colour results on white; DTF and plastisol also produce clean results here with minimal migration risk |
| Light grounds (Oxford, Charcoal Gray, Athletic Heather, Gold) | 100% polyester | Sublimation viable on all; for plastisol screen printing use low-bleed ink and lowest effective cure temperature to control dye migration from the ground colour |
| Dark grounds (Black, Navy, Royal, Red) | 100% polyester | Sublimation fully viable; plastisol requires mandatory poly-blocking underbase and low-bleed ink; DTF is the lower-risk alternative for dark-ground colour programs |
| Safety colours (Safety Orange, Safety Green, High Viz Safety Orange) | 100% polyester with fluorescent dye | Sublimation viable; fluorescent ground dye carries the highest migration risk under heat; mandatory poly-blocking underbase for plastisol and the lowest possible cure temperature; DTF is the recommended route on safety colours |
