How do they make the NFL draft jerseys so fast? We take a look at the process and how each NFL team gets their own unique design.
intro
Many consumers are interested in how NFL draft jerseys are made so fast. In general, roasts fall into one of four color categories — light, medium, medium-dark and dark.
Many consumers assume that the strong, rich flavor of darker roasts indicates a higher level of caffeine, but the truth is that light roasts actually have a slightly higher concentration. The perfect roast is a personal choice that is sometimes influenced by national preference or geographic location. Within the four color categories, you are likely to find common roasts as listed below. It’s a good idea to ask before you buy. There can be a world of difference between roasts.
Light roasts

How are NFL draft jerseys made?
Each spring, as the NFL draft nears, Nike unveils the new jerseys for each of the 32 teams. These jerseys, which are known as “draft jerseys,” are donned by the drafted players at the draft itself. While Nike has been making these jerseys for years, the process by which they are made has changed quite a bit.
The fabric
The fabric for NFL draft jerseys is cut to the right size and then sewn together. The numbers and letters are appliqued or heat transferred on after the jersey is sewn.
The design
The jersey’s design is actually quite simple. The front and back of the jersey are made from a single piece of fabric, with the arms and sides being sewn on afterwards. This design is what allows the jerseys to be mass produced so quickly and efficiently.
The material used for NFL draft jerseys is a synthetic mesh fabric called microfiber. Microfiber is a lightweight, breathable material that is perfect for athletic apparel. It wicks away sweat and moisture, making it ideal for players who will be wearing the jerseys during training camp and preseason games.
The printing
The printing is applied to the jersey via a large heat press. A vinyl stencil of the team’s logo or player’s name and number is placed on the shirt, and then ink is applied to transfer the design onto the fabric. After the printing process is complete, any excess ink or stencil material is removed from the jersey.
conclusion
The NFL Draft jerseys are made so fast due to the fact that they are mass-produced in advance. This allows the NFL to have them ready to go as soon as the draft prospects are announced.
