Custom Baseball Compression Shirts for Teams

Last updated: June 13, 2026

Worn under the jersey, not over it. The baseball compression shirt is a snug 4-way-stretch base layer. tight to the skin for moisture management and muscle support, the opposite of a loose performance tee. Empire Five Athletics manufactures these in a ~200 GSM poly-spandex compression knit with flatlock seams to prevent chafe under the jersey, sublimated in your team colors.

The Under-Jersey Base Layer: Snug 4-Way-Stretch Compression

The baseball compression shirt is the base layer worn under the uniform in our custom baseball range. a snug 4-way-stretch poly-spandex knit that sits tight to the skin for moisture management, muscle support, and temperature regulation across practice and games. Different from a loose standalone performance tee, the compression shirt is built to layer under your full-button or crew-neck jersey. Flatlock seams prevent chafe, a crew neck sits flat under the collar, and the poly-spandex wicks sweat away from the skin. Short-sleeve by default, long-sleeve on request. Build out the rest of the team's uniform in coordinating colors.

  • ~200 GSM 4-Way-Stretch Poly-Spandex
    Snug compression knit (80% polyester / 20% spandex) that moves with the body and wicks sweat away from the skin.
  • Full-Color Sublimation Available
    Solid team color with a small logo is the common base-layer choice. full sublimation is available since the poly-spandex prints cleanly.
  • Snug Compression Fit, Crew Neck
    Tight to the skin for muscle support and moisture management. Crew neck sits flat under the jersey collar. Worn UNDER the uniform.
  • Flatlock Seams, No Chafe
    Flatlock seam construction prevents chafe and seam-rub under the jersey across a full nine innings.
  • Adult & Youth Size Range
    Adult XS-4XL plus full youth run. Sized for compression. size up one if you prefer a less-tight fit.
  • 3-Week Worldwide Delivery
    Free tracked door-to-door shipping to 50+ countries. Rush production available on request.

Honest Spec Notes

Fabric: A ~200 GSM 4-way-stretch poly-spandex knit, snug to the skin, worn UNDER the jersey. Different from a loose performance tee, which is a relaxed regular-poly top worn on its own. The compression knit is built for moisture management and muscle support during play, not casual wear.

Decoration: Most teams order the compression shirt in a solid team color with a small chest logo, because most of the shirt sits hidden under the jersey during play. Full-color sublimation IS available and prints cleanly on the poly-spandex, but it is often unnecessary on a base layer. The flatlock seams and the snug fit are the priority over decoration coverage here.

Fit: Snug compression fit, tight to the skin. This is intentional. compression supports the muscles and wicks sweat during play. Size true-to-compression for the full support effect, or size up one if you prefer a less-tight base layer. The crew neck sits flat under the jersey collar. Short-sleeve is the default; long-sleeve is available on request for cooler conditions or full-arm coverage.

Decoration Options for Your Compression Shirt

Most clubs order a solid team color with a small chest logo, since most of the shirt sits under the jersey. Full-color sublimation is available and prints cleanly on the poly-spandex, but it is often unnecessary on a base layer.

Baseball Compression Shirt FAQ

The questions clubs and coaches ask before placing a compression-shirt order. answered for how it differs from a performance tee, the under-jersey base-layer use, the snug compression fit, and decoration on a hidden garment.

What's the difference between a compression shirt and a performance tee?
Fabric, fit, and how you wear it. The compression shirt is a ~200 GSM 4-way-stretch poly-spandex knit, snug to the skin, worn UNDER the jersey as a base layer for moisture management and muscle support. A performance tee is a lighter regular-poly top, a relaxed fit, worn on its own for practice and casual use. Pick the compression shirt for an under-jersey base layer, the performance tee for a standalone top.
Is the compression shirt worn under the jersey?
Yes. The compression shirt is a base layer worn UNDER your baseball jersey during practice and games. It sits tight to the skin to wick sweat and support the muscles, with flatlock seams that prevent chafe under the uniform and a crew neck that sits flat under the jersey collar.
How tight is the compression fit?
Snug, tight to the skin. that is the point of compression. The fit supports the muscles and wicks sweat during play. Order true-to-compression for the full support effect. If you prefer a less-tight base layer, size up one. The 4-way-stretch poly-spandex moves with the body without restricting your throwing or swinging range.
Do we need to decorate the whole shirt?
Most teams order the compression shirt in a solid team color with a small chest logo, because most of the shirt sits hidden under the jersey during play. Full-color sublimation IS available and prints cleanly on the poly-spandex, but it is often unnecessary on a base layer. Spend the decoration budget on the jersey worn over it instead.
Can we get long sleeves?
Yes. Short-sleeve is the default, and long-sleeve is available on request for cooler conditions or full-arm coverage. Both ship at the same per-piece pricing. Specify the sleeve length in your quote.
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 baseball compression shirts in your team's hands inside three weeks of sign-off. Rush production available on request.
