The football compression short is the base-layer short in our custom football range. a fitted 200 GSM poly-spandex short with four-way stretch, worn under the game pants for muscle support and sweat-wicking. A wide elastic waistband stays put through contact. Sublimated in your team colors so even the base layer matches. For a padded base layer, the girdle with pads is the protective option. the cheapest piece in the kit.
200 GSM poly-spandex compression knit with four-way stretch and a wide elastic waistband. a fitted base-layer short, sublimation-ready on the compression face.
Base layer: A base layer worn UNDER the game pants, not an outer short. The compression knit is fitted by design. order true-to-size for firm compression or size up one for a lighter feel. For a padded version, the girdle with pads is the option.
Decoration: Sublimation only. the whole short is a four-way-stretch zone, so embroidery and tackle twill crack as it stretches. We sublimate team colors and a logo into the compression face.
Care: Skip fabric softener. it coats the wicking and compression fibers and reduces both. Wash cold inside-out and hang dry.
Sublimation is the only decoration method on a compression short. the whole garment is a four-way-stretch zone, so embroidery and tackle twill crack as it stretches.
Full-color designs become part of the polyester so graphics never crack, peel, or fade. Used across our performance-poly shorts and pants to color-match the jersey exactly. Cotton-rich fleece is decorated by embroidery or print instead, since sublimation needs a polyester base.
Dimensional sewn-on lettering and crests on the flat hip or thigh panels where the fabric is stable. Stretch zones like waistbands, hems, and compression knits are kept to sublimation, since stitched decoration pops as those areas flex.
Vibrant flat-color decoration on stable panels and cotton-rich fleece. Pricing varies by ink count and is itemized in your quote. A cost-effective route for single-color wordmarks and sponsor logos.
US sizing labels in inches across men's, women's, and youth fits. UK / EU customers should add their preferred size convention in the quote. see the note below.
