You can only sublimate onto polyester or polyester mix materials. The less polyester the less the image transfers especially after washing. Think retro vintage.

You'd need polyester polo shirts - which as workwear as awful to wear, as polo shirts usually use a pretty thick material, so not thin and breathable like sportswear. One company I worked for in the past supplied us with poly-cotton polo shirts, and I refused to wear them, and went out and bought my own cotton ones in the same colour.
