Quick answer: Custom knitted scarves are club or supporter scarves with your name, colours and crest knitted in using jacquard, so the design cannot fade or peel. For photo-quality crests and fine detail, printed satin scarves are the alternative. Clubs, fan groups, schools and merch brands usually choose acrylic yarn, a standard bar-scarf size and fringed ends. Pexton Apparel makes custom scarves in Sialkot, Pakistan, for clubs and supporters in the USA, UK, Canada and Europe.
A club scarf is often the first piece of merchandise a supporter buys, and it is worn every match day for years. That makes quality important: the colours must match the club exactly, the name must be readable from the stands, and the scarf must stay soft and warm through a whole season. This guide covers the choices that make a scarf look official.
Knitted Jacquard or Printed Satin?
| Knitted jacquard | Printed satin | |
|---|---|---|
| How the design is made | Knitted into the yarn | Printed onto smooth satin fabric |
| Best for | Bold names, stripes and simple crests | Detailed crests, photos and gradients |
| Feel | Thick, warm, traditional | Light and smooth |
| Durability | Design cannot fade or peel | Bright print; gentle washing |
Many clubs choose jacquard for the main supporter scarf and satin for special editions such as a cup final or an anniversary.
Yarns, Sizes and Finishes
- Acrylic yarn: the most popular choice. It is warm, soft and holds bright club colours.
- Double-sided knit: the design shows on both sides, with no loose threads on the back.
- Fringed ends: the classic football look. Plain ends are also available.
- Size: tell us the length and width you want, or ask for our standard bar-scarf size.
Designing a Scarf That Reads From the Stands
Keep the club name short and bold, use two or three strong colours, and leave space between letters so the knit stays crisp. Very small text and thin lines do not knit cleanly. We check your artwork first and suggest changes before sampling. Pair the scarf with a custom beanie in the same colours for a matching supporter range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best material for a club scarf?
Acrylic yarn is the most popular. It is warm, soft, colour-fast and keeps the price affordable for supporters.
Is a knitted or a satin scarf better?
Knitted jacquard is warmer and the design can never fade, so it suits the main supporter scarf. Satin shows fine detail and photos, so it suits special editions.
Can you match our club colours exactly?
Yes. Send Pantone references and we will match the yarn colours as closely as possible and confirm them on the sample.
Can the scarf have different designs on each side?
Yes. Double-sided jacquard scarves can carry a different design on each side.
Do you ship scarves duty paid?
Yes. We ship DDP to the USA, UK, Canada and Europe, so there are no surprise import charges on delivery.
