    Hm....i've been wondering...is there a way that you can put your name on your yonex shirt? (just like how the pros have their names on them.):)

    yup can do it by yourself which is iron-on-transfers

    its special paper u print on using an inkjet printer, then u iron the paper and it transfers the ink onto ur t-shirt (ps it works best on white tho becuase the paper is white, and the paper material gets ironed on as well-which is how the ink gets carried on as well).

    otherwise there are professional heat presses which do it much better, and less white transfer since the letters are cut very fine to leave little excess material. also its a massive press, so no faffing around with steam irons:)

    that's prob how yonex, or their subcontractors do it

    its not too bad:) just need to remember to turn the t-shirt inside out when washing, and not to directly iron the transfer after its on:)
