Most transfers that I know of need some cotton. Check with the transfer maker/dist. Contact Ed, at proworld (proworlded). That is what he does.

Yes, heat transfers can be put on polyester jerseys. What type you use may depend on the design you want to use.

These past threads might help some:

Heat pressing on polyester

ThermoFlex Plus and Polyester: Haloing Help!

Vinyl, dye sub and plastisol transfers are 3 types of transfers that definitely work on polyester garments.

You will not be able to print a design that has white since that is not a color produced on the inkjet printer. I would suggest having a custom transfer made.

You need to know the press you are using and the material. There are vinyls that can press color with white at 210 deg - Solar210. If you need white with stretch Solutions Opaque or quick print will do vinyl both at imprintables.
