Worn under the jersey, not over it. The softball 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 softball compression shirt is the base layer worn under the uniform in our custom softball 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 compression knit with flatlock seams and a flat crew neck. built snug to the skin for moisture management and muscle support, worn under the jersey, with full-color sublimation that holds through season-long wash cycles.
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.
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.
Endless design possibilities at no extra cost. Full-color digital designs become part of the polyester fabric. graphics never crack, peel, or fade through season-long training and casual wear. Color-match the rest of the team's uniform exactly.
Dimensional decoration on the front-left chest panel for a crisp club crest. Tackle twill works on the chest or back for a varsity-style team mark. For full-bleed graphics across the whole tee, sublimation is the better method.
Vibrant flat-color decoration on the front and back panels. Pricing varies by ink count; itemized in your quote. Works cleanly across the smooth performance-poly body. for full-color graphics, sublimation is the better method.
Standard ranges for men's, women's, and youth fits. The compression shirt is sized for a snug fit. order true-to-compression for the full support effect, or size up one for a less-tight base layer.
