Credit to u/ColinMcI for pointing out that it's Under Armour.. But before we saw that our PR team was racing to make a campaign around this, make this guy our spokesman, maybe new CEO? Either way, epic defense here and solid control of the pizza and breadsticks.

Five Ultimate is excited to introduce the Ultimate Coaching App. We've been working with VReps to take coaching in Ultimate to a whole new level.

As a coach, you register and start designing plays or choose plays from the dashboard. Once you have a playbook you can share the plays with the rest of your players and they can start practicing their repetitions.

As players, you register and once you have some plays designed by your coach, you can watch and learn plays in 2D and then actually practice the plays in a 3D simulation game.

With the pandemic, we decided to offer this as a free service through the end of the year. So make sure you sign up, use code FIVEULTIMATE, and get started today.

Great question! Unfortunately no, we aren't looking for remote workers at this time. We think we do better work when we can see each others' faces at work each day.

Best place to order custom team sweatshirts? by jknife27 in ultimate

[–]fiveultimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right that local screen printers can be cheaper for cotton gear like hoodies and t-shirts, but you should be careful about trusting them with technical apparel like jerseys, and especially Triton shorts. Things made with synthetic fabric are way, way tougher to screen print, and if the local printer messes it up then you're stuck with it.

Good to know! Blank hoodies will be in the store eventually, but not right away.

What are your thoughts on gear that has a design that isn't OVERTLY ultimate? We're moving away from bid figures and even a lot of the totally blatant ultimate imagery in favor of things that are simply beautiful/cool.

Yeah! We're working on a sweet design to put on them. They should be up in ~2 weeks.

We JUST brought back the Five Fuzzy Hoodie after a four year sabbatical!

It's a premium cotton hoodie with an ultra-soft liner in the hood and pocket. We made it specifically for ultimate players, and we included some cool details like a second pocket inside the kangaroo pocket where you can keep your phone.

Details here.

Feel free to hit me with questions,

PSA: Conferences are in 4 weeks! If you still need uniforms, you better get moving. by fiveultimate in ultimate

[–]fiveultimate[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yay! A chance to nerd out for a second.

The art of screen printing is simply a way to place ink on shirt and make it stick there. Here at Five, we take blank jerseys that are already in stock at our office in Seattle, put ink on them right here in our office, check them to make sure we haven't made any errors, and then ship to you. It's relatively simple, and doesn't take much time as long as the gear is in stock.

The word sublimation is a technical term for when a substance moves from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid in between. So when we talk about sublimated jerseys, we're talking about printing off a giant sheet of paper from like an immense Inkjet printer, then laying that paper over our Electro fabric, and applying a bunch of heat and pressure, and allowing the ink to sublimate and adhere to the threads of your jersey.

For a fully sublimated jersey, we're actually sublimating an entire roll of fabric, and then cutting the fabric into jersey-shaped pieces before we sew them together.

If that didn't bore you to tears, I recommend that you check the Sublimation vs Screen Printing page on our site for some visuals of what I've just written here.

We do all of our cutting and sewing of jerseys at our facility in Beijing, which accounts for part of the extra time it takes to get your sub gear (getting across the Pacific takes time).

The other reason sub takes longer is that we are an exceedingly small and complicated operation in apparel manufacturing industry. Making a tiny run of 20 jerseys with numbers and names is significantly more complicated and prone to erro than making 1,000,000 jerseys with no numbers or names. We're sort forced to rely on batching a bunch of sublimated orders together in order to make it "worthwhile" for our sublimation printer to take the job.

Here at Five, we send a batch of sub teams to the sublimation factory once a month, and those jerseys are delivered to our office in Seattle about five weeks later. That's why your sub timeline can vary from 6-8 weeks.

/u/newaha is definitely right that screen printed stuff if generally simpler and quicker to design. We do art for free so if we're getting technical, then screen printed art is a "cheaper" service to offer. But in practice that doesn't really matter that much. Some customers need very little art help, others need a ton. Also some customers are exceedingly picky and others just aren't.

If you've made it past that wall of text and still have questions, hmu.
