The everyday team tee. lighter than a jersey, looser than a compression shirt. The softball performance tee is a relaxed short-sleeve moisture-wicking top for practice, warm-up, and casual team wear. Empire Five Athletics builds it in a ~150 GSM performance polyester with full-color sublimation, cut for comfortable volume wear.
The softball performance tee is the loose short-sleeve top in our custom softball range. a relaxed ~150 GSM performance polyester worn for practice, warm-up, travel, and casual team identity. Same fabric and relaxed fit as the long-sleeve performance tee, just with short sleeves for warm-weather wear. Different from a snug compression shirt, this tee has a soft hand feel and a regular cut, worn on its own. Full-color sublimation covers the whole tee. team logo, casual graphics, or names and numbers if you want them. Order it in the team colorway with the jerseys and the rest of the uniform.
Lightweight ~150 GSM performance polyester with a soft hand feel, a crew neck, and short sleeves. built for breathable, comfortable volume wear at practice, on the road, and in warm weather, with full-color sublimation that holds through season-long wash cycles.
Fabric: A ~150 GSM regular performance polyester, the same fabric as the long-sleeve performance tee, just with short sleeves. Lighter and looser than the 200 GSM 4-way-stretch compression shirt. it is built for comfortable volume wear, not snug muscle support.
Decoration: Full-color sublimation covers the whole tee, so the team logo, casual graphics, sponsor wordmarks, and names and numbers all work. Worn on its own, so teams decorate the whole garment rather than keeping it simple like an under-layer.
Fit: Regular relaxed fit with a crew neck and short sleeves, cut for comfort and volume wear. For arm coverage on cool days, the long-sleeve performance tee is the same fabric with full sleeves. For a snug under-jersey base layer, the compression shirt is the option.
Sublimation covers the whole tee including the short sleeves uniformly. there are no mesh panels to print around. Embroidery and tackle twill go on the front-left chest panel; the rest of the garment takes full-color sublimation cleanly.
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 performance tee runs a regular relaxed fit. order true-to-size or size up for a roomier casual feel.
