Honest Spec Notes

Base layer: A base layer worn under the girdle for support and wicking, with an optional jock/cup pocket. order true-to-size for firm compression.

Decoration: Sublimation only. the whole short is a four-way-stretch zone, so embroidery and tackle twill crack. We sublimate team colors and a logo into the compression face.

Decoration Options for Your Compression Shorts

Sublimation is the only decoration method on a four-way-stretch compression garment. embroidery and tackle twill crack as the fabric stretches.

Custom sublimation printing applied to polyester team apparel, showing full-color graphics integrated into the fabric

Sublimation

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.

Best for:Color-matching the jersey, full-bleed designs, side stripes, sublimated numbers
Tackle twill and embroidery on a flat fabric panel, showing dimensional sewn-on lettering

Tackle Twill & Embroidery — flat panels

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.

Best for:Front-hip or thigh crests, a dimensional team mark, premium varsity-style finish
Screen-printed team logo on custom apparel, showing flat vibrant solid-color ink applied to the fabric

Screen Printing

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.

Best for:Single-color wordmarks, sponsor logos, cost-effective flat-color branding

Logo & Number Placement Options

  • Front-left thigh: sublimated team logo
  • Waistband: sublimated team name
  • Outer thigh: optional sublimated accent
  • Back: optional sublimated number
