Frequently Asked Questions
The choice depends on personal preference and climate. Short sleeve compression shirts are popular for most basketball settings, offering muscle support without the added warmth of long sleeves. They work well in temperature-controlled gyms and provide excellent mobility. Long sleeve options are preferred by players seeking maximum coverage or playing in cooler environments. Many teams order both styles to give players choice based on individual comfort preferences.
Yes, compression short sleeve shirts are specifically designed to layer seamlessly under game jerseys. The flatlock seams prevent bunching and chafing, while the slim fit doesn’t create bulk under uniforms. Many leagues require that visible compression wear matches team colors – our full customization ensures your shirts coordinate perfectly with your uniforms while meeting league regulations.
Use our detailed size chart based on chest and waist measurements for best results. Compression shirts should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or movement. The four-way stretch fabric provides some flexibility in sizing. For teams with diverse body types, we recommend ordering sample sizes before your full team order. Players between sizes typically prefer the smaller size for more compression or larger size for a more relaxed fit.
