Track Uniforms Made in the U. S. vs. Overseas
6/26/2013
An overview of the difference between track uniforms made in the United States and those made overseas.

Track uniforms vary to correspond with the different types of running events. Sprinters generally wear speed suits that fit snugly on their bodies so as not to hinder their running speed. Distance runners usually don singlets and shorts to provide them with greater freedom as they run. Like most other sports clothing, track uniforms are manufactured in the U.S. and abroad. By comparing what American and overseas manufacturers have to offer, you can get a better idea of the quality of the products you buy.

American Made vs. Made Overseas – What’s the Difference?

It’s no secret that most of the clothing manufactured for the U.S. market today is made abroad. This is due mostly to lower manufacturing costs. However, there are some Americans who remain loyal to American made brands due to the superior quality of these products. Many Americans can attest to the longevity of American made clothing, proving that these products are of higher quality materials and craftsmanship.

American fabrics share standard characteristics such as being colorfast, offering less shrinkage, having a smoother texture and being more resilient than their overseas counterpart. A higher standard fabric contributes to the clothing's attractive appearance even after being worn for a greater length of time.

Attributes of Quality Tracking Uniforms

When it comes to sports uniforms, most teams look for products that are comfortable, resilient and long lasting. Speed suits need to be constructed of high quality elastic material that conforms easily to your body. Singlets and shorts should be of lightweight, moisture resistant material that can endure the elements and the test of time without becoming worn or ragged. Footwear in the form of track spikes must be of high quality, customized fitting and suitable for each running category. The quality of your products plays a key role in how well you perform. Therefore, you should ensure you get the best possible product for your investment.

Customizing Your Track Uniforms Sets You Apart

Purchasing American made Cisco custom track uniforms allows you to customize your product to meet your need. As a track team, you may want to customize the uniform’s style or design, adding your own logo, lettering, numbering, pictures, etc. Many American manufacturers offer in-house customization, enabling you to get quicker, more efficient service. They also utilize up to date technology such as heat infusion to customize the graphics, logos, names, etc. directly onto your uniform for exceptional results.

Overseas production may offer lower prices, but they may or may not meet up to the quality expectations you desire. Many of these uniforms are produced under “sweatshop” industry conditions, which can have an adverse effect on the final product. In contrast, custom designed uniforms from American manufacturers will give your team a greater sense of unity and make you stand out from the crowd. Customization may cost a bit more, but you receive high quality, personalized products that you can wear with pride.
