Hi, the images are applied by full color computer printing with special ink and special treatment. I have been wearing them for a while and the colors still hold up pretty good.
I will have to research more to see if it is possible to have color gradient with embroidering.
Thanks Willie for the great suggestion. By offering CueTable I would like to encourage people to view each billiard shot as a form of personal expression. By recording them and sharing them together we can build a even bigger experience together.
"Billiard as an Artistic Expression: Think of all the colorful balls in motion. The paths follow the rules of physics and create interesting patterns over time. Being capable of visualizing this psychedelic image is the first reason we play pool. Everything comes from their vivid colors, and we have decided to use all the balls as our drawing tool and the table as the canvas."

In another words, everyone should have each own version of perfect break shot. If you'd like to send yours in CueTable format to me. I will be happy to make a personalized shirt for you when time permits.
Here is a polo shirt with 14.1 logo in the front pocket and Thorsten Hohmann's signature breakshot in the back:
