Order custom long-sleeve basketball compression shirts built in our Sialkot factory and shipped worldwide. The under-jersey base layer that supports the muscles, locks in body heat in cold gyms, and keeps the arms covered during shoot-around and warm-up. Premium 200 GSM 4-way stretch polyester-spandex blend, full-color sublimation that flexes with the fabric, and team identity matched to your game-day jersey colorway.
The custom long-sleeve basketball compression shirt is the under-uniform base layer used by serious basketball programs. Worn beneath the game jersey for muscle support and circulation through the four quarters, or standalone during cold-weather practice and pre-game shoot-around. Empire Five Athletics manufactures these shirts in 200 GSM 4-way stretch polyester-spandex with full-color sublimation that stretches with the fabric without cracking. Cut to a true compression fit (snug, supportive, no roll-up) with flatlock seams that prevent chafing under the jersey across a full game.
4-way stretch poly-spandex performance knit, flatlock seams that won't chafe under the jersey, and decoration that flexes with the fabric.
Fit: Compression shirts run TRIM by design. They should fit snug to support the muscles. If a player prefers a less-compressive fit, size up one. The shirt is intended to be worn close to the body; loose fit defeats the purpose.
Decoration on stretch fabric: Embroidery and tackle twill are restricted to the flat chest panel only. Stitching across high-stretch zones (torso, mid-sleeve) pops as the fabric flexes during play. Sublimation is the recommended decoration method for compression shirts because it stretches with the fabric.
Sublimation is strongly recommended for compression apparel — it stretches with the fabric. Embroidery and tackle twill are restricted to the flat chest panel only.
The recommended decoration method for compression. Full-color digital designs printed into the polyester fibers themselves — colors stretch and recover with the spandex without cracking, peeling, or fading.
Restricted to the FLAT CHEST PANEL only — embroidery on high-stretch zones (torso, mid-sleeve) pops as the spandex flexes. Works beautifully for a chest crest; not recommended elsewhere on this garment.
Not recommended for compression — screen-printed ink cracks under the extreme stretch of compression fabric across a season of use. We will quote it on request, but sublimation gives a markedly better result on this product.
Standard ranges for men's, women's, and youth fits. Compression runs trim by design — see the note below before ordering.
