Single-Side Practice Top — Daily Training Workhorse

The custom basketball practice jersey is the single-side workhorse of your training kit. Built from the same 160 GSM polyester mesh as the practice shorts, designed to pair with them as a coordinated lightweight daily-training uniform. Empire Five Athletics manufactures these jerseys for teams that want practice apparel separate from the game uniform. Daily training, conditioning drills, summer camps, and pickup-game wear. No reversible flip needed for daily drills, no game-day weight binding through brutal conditioning sessions; just a lightweight mesh practice jersey that stays out of the way of the work.

Materials & Construction

Lightweight 160 GSM polyester mesh single-side construction designed for daily-training volume use — pair with the mesh practice shorts as a coordinated lightweight practice uniform.

Fabric
160 GSM Polyester Performance Mesh
Composition
100% polyester mesh knit. Lightweight, quick-drying, breathable through high-output training
Weight
160 GSM (lightweight practice mesh)
Finish
Anti-pilling, moisture-wicking, anti-microbial finish; sublimation-ready outer face
Stitching
Double-needle stitching at all stress seams; reinforced bartack at neck and armhole openings; flat shoulder construction
Durability
Sublimated graphics tested through 50+ wash cycles; lighter wear life than game-day jerseys (built for daily-practice volume, not season-after-season game-day use)

Honest Spec Notes

Fabric: Mesh fabric is more sheer than a solid knit. Choose darker base colors for visibility, OR pair with compression base layer underneath. The mesh body is the same weight as the mesh practice shorts, so the practice jersey + practice shorts kit reads as one matched set.

Durability: Practice jerseys are built for daily-training volume. Lighter wear life than game-day jerseys. Expect 1–2 seasons of heavy daily use before the lightweight mesh starts showing wear; for season-after-season game-day durability the v-neck or round-neck jerseys are the upgrade.

Decoration: Embroidery and tackle twill work on the flat shoulder or hip panel only. The open mesh body does not hold dense embroidery cleanly across the full jersey. Sublimation handles the full body cleanly.

Decoration Options for Your Practice Jersey

Sublimation works perfectly across the full mesh body. Embroidery and tackle twill are restricted to the flat shoulder or hip panel only — the open mesh weave doesn't hold dense embroidery cleanly across the full jersey.

Sublimation

Endless design possibilities at no extra cost. Full-color digital designs become part of the polyester mesh — graphics never crack, peel, or fade through season-long practice. Color-match the mesh practice shorts for a complete daily-training set.

Best for:Color-matching the mesh practice shorts, full-bleed designs across the mesh body, sublimated player numbers, side-stripe accents
Tackle twill numbers and embroidered logo applied to a custom team jersey, showing dimensional sewn-on lettering

Tackle Twill & Embroidery — flat panel only

Dimensional decoration restricted to the flat shoulder or hip panel where the fabric is solid. The open mesh weave on the body of the jersey does not hold dense embroidery cleanly. We can embroider a small chest crest with no issues; full-body embroidery isn't possible on mesh.

Best for:Front-chest crest patches, small varsity-style mark on the shoulder, dimensional team logo on the solid panel
Screen-printed team logo on a custom jersey, showing flat vibrant solid-color ink applied to the fabric

Screen Printing — flat panel only

Vibrant flat-color decoration on the solid chest panel only — the open mesh body lets ink bleed through and does not hold a clean print. Sublimation handles the mesh body cleanly; screen print is the alternative for sponsor wordmarks on the chest.

Best for:Single-color sponsor wordmarks on the flat chest, simple chest-panel branding, cost-effective decoration

Logo & Number Placement Options

  • Front-center chest: team logo or roster number
  • Back center: optional player name or large roster number
  • Front-left chest: optional secondary mark or program initial
  • Outer side panels: optional sublimated accent stripe

Basketball Practice Jersey FAQ

The questions teams and coaches ask before placing their first practice jersey order — answered specifically for the lightweight mesh single-side practice cut.

How is the practice jersey different from the game-day jerseys?
Different fabric weight, different purpose, different price tier. The practice jersey is 160 GSM lightweight polyester mesh. Built for daily-training volume, designed to pair with the mesh practice shorts as the lightweight training uniform. The game-day jerseys (v-neck, round-neck, sleeveless muscle) are 180 GSM polyester interlock with mesh side panels. Heavier, more structured, built for season-after-season game-day durability. Most basketball programs order both: practice jerseys for daily training and game jerseys for competition.
Why a single-side jersey instead of a reversible for practice?
Most daily training is single-team work. Conditioning, individual drills, shooting, skill development. A single-side practice jersey is lighter, simpler, and cheaper than a reversible. And most coaches reserve the reversible mesh tank for scrimmage days where the team splits into shirts-vs-skins. Order practice jerseys for daily volume use and reversibles for scrimmage-specific days.
Is the mesh fabric see-through?
It is more sheer than a solid knit. That is what makes it breathe. Choose a darker base color (navy, black, deep red) for full opacity, or pair the practice jersey with a compression base layer or t-shirt underneath for both base-layer support AND visibility. White or pale practice jerseys will show some translucency, especially in bright training conditions.
Does it match the mesh practice shorts?
Yes. Same 160 GSM polyester performance mesh fabric. If you order both together we run them in the same production batch with identical color values and sublimation specs, so the practice jersey and the practice shorts read as one matched practice-uniform set.
Can the jersey be embroidered with our team crest?
Yes. But ONLY on the flat shoulder or hip panel. The open mesh weave on the body of the jersey does not hold dense embroidery cleanly. We can embroider a small crest at the front-left chest with no issues; for any other placement we recommend sublimation, which works perfectly across the full mesh surface.
What is the minimum order?
There is no minimum. Order from a single piece up. Tier-1 pricing covers 1–20 pieces at the same per-piece rate, with five additional volume brackets giving deeper discounts up to 1,000 pieces.
What is the production and delivery timeline?
Production runs about two weeks from artwork approval. Tracked door-to-door shipping to 50+ countries adds 4–7 business days, putting your custom basketball practice jerseys in your team's hands inside three weeks of sign-off. Rush production available on request.
