ABSTRACT:
The heat activated applique for providing in particular numbers and letter for sports jerseys includes an upper colored thermoplastic elastomer layer bonded to a cloth substrate by a thermoplastic adhesive. Preferably, the thermoplastic elastomer is a polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer and the thermoplastic adhesive is a polyester-based thermoplastic adhesive. The applique is suitable for forming a letter on a letter to provide three-dimensional characteristics to an alpha-numeric character. The thermoplastic elastomer layer can be debossed to provide surface characteristics to the heat activated applique, either prior to or during application. This is also suitable for applying additional indicia in the form of sublimation dye heat transferred into the thermoplastic elastomer.
