BROOKLYN, NY (BRAIN) — Champion System is now offering sublimated fabric race numbers. The company said the numbers are lighter and more comfortable for racers than paper numbers, and offer participants a keepsake from the event.

“We took what we know best, fabric and printing, to create a technologically advanced race numbers designed for today’s athlete. The result: say goodbye to having a crinkly piece of paper pinned to your jersey,” Issendorf said.
