How to Choose Premium Fabric for Your Cricket Club’s Uniforms (and Why It Matters in Australia)
Why Fabric Choice Matters in Cricket Teamwear
In cricket, your uniform is more than just team colours — it’s what carries you through every over. Whether you’re fielding under the scorching Aussie sun or spending hours batting, the fabric of your kit plays a huge role in how you perform and feel on the field.
At EVO Sportswear, we know that choosing premium-quality fabric isn’t just about looking sharp — it’s about comfort, breathability, and long-lasting performance built for Australian conditions.
Australian Conditions Demand Smarter Fabric
Cricket in Australia often means extreme heat, UV exposure, and long days outdoors. Standard fabrics can trap sweat, stick to your skin, and restrict movement — not ideal when you’re trying to stay focused.
That’s why EVO Sportswear recommends lightweight, performance-driven materials that keep you cool, dry and comfortable from first ball to last.
What to look for in your cricket uniform fabric:
Moisture-wicking technology: Draws sweat away from the body to keep you dry.
UV protection: Shields players from harsh sunlight during day matches.
Quick-drying materials: Keeps uniforms fresh between innings and training.
4-way stretch: Allows unrestricted movement and flexibility.
Top Fabric Options for Cricket Teamwear
Here are some of the most popular and effective fabrics used in cricket uniforms across Australia:
1. Polyester Performance Fabric
Durable, lightweight and easy to maintain — perfect for match jerseys. EVO’s advanced polyester blends feature moisture-wicking properties to keep players comfortable in all conditions.
2. Sublimated Polyester Mesh
Ideal for custom-designed cricket jerseys, this material allows for vibrant graphics, endless colour options and long-lasting prints that won’t crack or fade, no matter how often you play.
3. Cotton-Polyester Blends
A soft and breathable option, best suited for training gear and casual clubwear. It delivers comfort with a structured fit.
4. Recycled Polyester (Eco Range)
Sustainability meets performance. EVO’s eco fabrics are made from recycled polyester yarns, offering the same strength, flexibility and comfort — a great choice for environmentally conscious clubs.
What “Premium Quality” Really Means
A high-quality fabric isn’t just about how it feels — it’s about how it performs over time. When assessing fabric quality, keep these points in mind:
GSM (grams per square metre): Indicates the weight and thickness. Cricket jerseys usually range between 140–160 GSM.
Colourfastness: Ensures colours stay bright and don’t fade under the sun.
Elastic recovery: Keeps the uniform in shape even after intense play.
Breathability: The better the airflow, the cooler the player feels.
Cost vs Value: Why Investing in Quality Pays Off
It might be tempting to go with cheaper materials, but low-quality fabrics tend to fade, stretch and wear out quickly. Investing in premium, durable fabrics saves your club money in the long run and helps maintain a professional, unified look season after season.
