So like most years I hopped online and bought this year's Adidas Coach's Polo. Imagine my surprise to find that now Adidas can't even be bothered to embroider the Texas/ATM and Adidas logo on these $70 pieces of fine art. Nope, it's a ****ty screen print. What a ****ing joke.

Just a PSA, maybe skip ordering one this year.

Are you sure it is not a heat seal logo?

Is that another name for $80 screen print?

I have some heat seal logos that I would like to put on various items.

I have put a hot iron on top of it to make it stick to the fabric below, but it doesn't stick well.. I am afraid to keep the iron on any longer for fear of melting or scorching the underlying fabric.

Should I use a steam iron? What is the best way to do this?

We have crap apparel. The last shirt I really liked was the navy adidas tshirt with the state of Texas Outline with the block ATM (beveled which I hate).

The Adidas polos have been crap for awhile. Have to buy another brand to get something quality.

So you think it'll look fine at first but fall apart after 5-6 washings?

I think a screen print on a polo is silly. Maybe next year they can add a pocket.

Adidas is a second tier athletic apparel brand for football. We should be with Nike or UA.

Texags must be a magical place where only odd things happen to the masses.

I have 4 Adidas A&M polos. All have the "screen print" logo on them. I may actually have more than 4 but I wasn't wasting any more of my time looking.

Non of them have a the logo peeling off or show any signs of falling apart. They were all bought last season and the previous season.

Compared to what? I can't tell if you are being extremely pretentious, or extremely plebeian.

It's a dry fit material - meant to be worn without an undershirt. Embroidered logos are often uncomfortable and itchy on skin. Their screen/heat/whatever prints have always held up in my experience.

Y'all are terrible; don't buy the SOB if you don't like it. Besides, why purchase a football oriented shirt from a damn track & CC shoe manufacturer?

just go to an outlet mall..ua gets a huge premium on their stuff and is packed with customers.. Just like Nike. Adidas has cheaper stuff and is a ghost town in comparison.

Adidas is considered as cool as nike right now just because of their shoe game. The reason their outlet doesn't have any traffic is because they don't sell ultra boosts and yeezys at an outlet.

I used to hate on Adidas, but right now, it's a good time to be sponsored by them.

See if you can get a piece of teflon, like on the link below. Don't use the iron with steam or any water and get it real, real hot and try it that way. You may want to warm the fabric up some before putting the heat seal on it and press the iron like hell. Most heat seals are designed for about 300-400 degrees and about 40-75 pounds of pressure. Just depends on the heat seal.

If the fabrics on these Polo's are polyester performance fabrics, which do not breath and will pick, heat sealing is much better than embroidery as embroidery tends to put a lot of stress on the fabric and picks, needle cuts, and runs happen a lot. Embroidery that would not damage the fabric would look like sheet with not a lot of stitches in it. The pellon backing required embroidery on the performance fabrics is hard and cardboard like, not comfortable at all.

Adidas products are usually better than UA products, or at least that is my take and I make products for both companies. Plus Adidas truly cares much more about the end use and user of the product as opposed to UA whom care much more about the UA appearance of a product. UA is overpriced too. Those are my personal opinions based on 26 years of making clothing.

On the polyester fabrics that are so popular today heat sealing is the way to go.

Who's feelings are hurt? I was just asking how you dress on game days, so I know what kind of cynic I am dealing with.

Nike has laid off employees recently due to Adidas' market share increasing.
