One of the newest products on the market for decorating hockey uniforms is Dalco Athletic's dye sublimation lettering on twill. The dye sublimation process provides full color for the same price as one color, unlike per-color costs associated with screen printing or embroidery. And because dye sublimation literally dyes the fibers of the polyester twill, the lettering remains bold and bright no matter how many times it's washed.

Three-color letters and numbers can be heat applied or sewn down like traditional appliqué, and you achieve a multicolor look with only one layer. Create team names or individual names in arched or straight layouts in youth and adult sizes.

Dye sub letters can be applied to any color fabric and can be used with most traditional hockey uniform materials, although they will not adhere to nylon or porthole fabrics. You choose between placement adhesive if sewing the letters or permanent heat-activated glue if applying with a heat press. The minimum order is only 10 pieces.

Dalco is now offering a complete collection of appliqués, patches, Greek letters, and coasters as part of its dye sublimation line.

SISU bills this as a new way to look at mouth guards that are thinner, harder and stronger. In July 2012, the SISU Mouth Guard (formerly Protech Dent Mouth Guard) was launched with a new look and name. The SISU 1.6 and SISU 2.4 were introduced - the numbers are the millimeter thickness of the mouth guard. This allows athletes to talk, breathe and drink without taking out the mouthguard. It was developed by an Ear-Nose-Throat physician who wanted to protect his patients' teeth during endoscopic procedures.

SISU is engineered with technology where the impact is not transferred to the teeth, so the 1.6 is more than 30 percent stronger than conventional mouth guards and the 2.4 is nearly 50 percent stronger. The company is also releasing a new flavoring spray, SISU Lyft, which gives the mouth guard a nice minty flavor which lasts for weeks.

MSRP: 1.6 mouthguard is $24.99, 2.4 mouthguard is $34.99 and the Lyft is $6.99.
