If you sending it to a printer for printing on team tops then you need to be working at 300dpi and save the work in EPS format or PSD format if you using Photoshop

You lose quality with a Jpeg but its very hard to notice.
it may look like this but when it goes to the printer and need to make it abit bigger to fit on the tops you are going to lose a lot of quality

images rules

Print work
300dpi save in EPS or PSD

Web work
72 dpi save in Jpeg or gif.

Yeah 300 dpi (dots per inch) is good for printing as it converts into 150 lpi (lines per inch) but my personal preference when reciving digital prepress work is if the dpi is higher say 450 because i can always down grade the dpi but once you've lost quality nothing in the world can put it back.
On JPEG's if you select high quality on the pop up then this file format loses a very limited amount of pixels.

As stated before JPEGS are an industry standard file format.

Sorry to jump in:D

i not sure where you get that Jpegs are the industry format ? i was a designer from 94 - 02 before moveing over to film and TV work and in that time i would have sent out 1000's of art work to papers and mags and not one of them would ask for it as a Jpeg
