Default Will plastisol hold up on 100% poly jersey?

I have several Nashbar 100% polyester bicycling jersey that I need to press a design onto. The jerseys have small holes for breathability and a 3/4th zipper in the middle which I think may be problems for a standard plastisol transfer.

Can anyone give me any idea how well a plastisol transfer will hold up as opposed to getting these screen printed (the company says the shirts can be s.printed). I'm worried that the holes will cause problems with any sort of sticking.

Use Elastoflex transfers from ACE. They will set at a lower temperature and have extra glue to keep them from cracking. I use them for my poly shirts and they're holding up very well. 8 months of constant use and they look like they were printed yesterday.
