Honest Spec Notes

No pads included: This is the shell only. it ships with seven empty pad slots and NO pads, for teams that own pad sets or buy them separately. That is why it costs less than the integrated and 7-pad pants. The slots fit common standard pad sets.

Which to pick: Choose slotted if your program already has pads. choose the integrated pant for pads sewn in, or the 7-pad pant for a removable pad set supplied with the pant.

Decoration: The stretch shell is sublimated in team colors with a side stripe and an optional hip logo. The slots and waistband are functional zones, so stitched decoration stays on the flat hip panel.

Decoration Options for Your Football Pants

Game pants are decorated by sublimated team color and side stripe, with an optional sublimated logo on the hip. The pad pockets and waistband are functional zones, so heavy stitched decoration stays on the flat hip panel.

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

  • Side: sublimated team stripe down the leg
  • Hip: optional sublimated team logo or number
  • Waistband: sublimated team color
  • Leg: solid team colorway
