The Pull-On Warm-Up: A Clean Classic Batting Jacket

The pullover softball batting jacket is the pull-on warm-up layer in our custom softball range. a lightweight ~280 GSM polyester tricot that goes on over the head with a short neck zip, instead of the full-length front zip of the full-zip batting jacket. Ribbed-knit cuffs and hem, a hip-length active cut, and full-color sublimation across the entire shell including the sleeves. Worn at batting practice, in the dugout, and on the road, color-matched to your team jersey. Pick the pullover for the cleaner classic look, or the full-zip for easy on-and-off. Build it to match the rest of the team's uniform.

Honest Spec Notes

Fabric: A lightweight ~280 GSM polyester tricot knit, breathable and warm-up-friendly, NOT insulated like the dugout jacket and NOT water-resistant-coated like the rain jacket. Same shell as the full-zip batting jacket. only the closure differs.

Decoration: Sublimation covers the full shell including the sleeves cleanly, because there is no quilting to distort the print. Embroidery and tackle twill go on the flat chest panel. The ribbed-knit cuffs and hem are knit-trim zones and do not hold dense embroidery stitching.

Seams: The ribbed-knit cuffs and hem are the signature warm-up-jacket trim. they hold the jacket in position and retain elasticity across the season. The short neck zip runs with a chin guard to prevent zipper bite, reinforced with bartack stitching at the anchor.

Sublimation

Endless design possibilities at no extra cost. Full-color digital designs become part of the polyester shell so graphics never crack, peel, or fade through season-long bench wear. Color-match your team jersey and the rest of the uniform exactly.

Best for:Color-matching the uniform, full-back team marks, sponsor wordmarks, large back-panel team names
Tackle twill numbers and embroidered logo applied to a custom team jersey, showing dimensional sewn-on lettering

Tackle Twill & Embroidery — chest panel only

Dimensional decoration on the flat front chest panel for a crisp dimensional crest. The ribbed-knit cuffs and hem are knit-trim zones and do not hold dense embroidery cleanly. Tackle twill works on the flat chest panel for crisp varsity-style team marks.

Screen-printed team logo on a custom jersey, showing flat vibrant solid-color ink applied to the fabric

Screen Printing

Vibrant flat-color decoration on the chest and back panels. Pricing varies by ink count and is itemized in your quote. For full-color sleeve stripes and back-panel team marks, sublimation is the better method on the tricot shell.

Best for:Single-color sponsor wordmarks across the chest or back, simple flat-color branding, cost-effective decoration

Logo & Number Placement Options

  • Front-left chest: team crest (embroidery or tackle twill on the flat panel)
  • Full back panel: large team mark or sponsor wordmark (sublimation)

Pullover Batting Jacket FAQ

The questions teams and coaches ask before ordering a batting jacket. answered for the lightweight warm-up layer and how the pullover differs from the full-zip.

What's the difference between the pullover and full-zip batting jackets?
The closure. The pullover batting jacket pulls on over the head with a short neck zip, for the cleaner classic warm-up look. The full-zip batting jacket opens all the way down the front, so it is easier to layer on and off over the uniform. Same ~280 GSM tricot, same ribbed cuffs and hem, same decoration and price. Pick by preference.
Is the batting jacket insulated or waterproof?
Neither. It is a breathable ~280 GSM polyester tricot warm-up layer with no insulation and no water-resistant coating. For a heavy insulated cold-weather bench coat, see the dugout jacket. For a waterproof shell, see the rain jacket. The batting jacket prioritizes breathability and freedom of movement for warm-ups.
Can the design cover the sleeves?
Yes. Sublimation covers the entire shell including the sleeves cleanly, because there is no quilting to distort the print. You can run team stripes down the full sleeve length, a full back-panel team mark, or a chest accent. The only no-print zones are the ribbed-knit cuffs and hem, which take a contrast accent color but not detailed graphics.
Will the jacket color-match our uniform?
Yes. We sublimate the batting jacket in the same colorway as your team jersey using identical color values. Order the jacket and the uniform together and we run them in the same production batch for a coordinated team look.
Where can we put the team logo and sponsor marks?
Embroidery and tackle twill go on the flat front chest panel for a crisp dimensional crest. Sublimation handles everything else. full back-panel marks, sponsor wordmarks, and sleeve stripes. The ribbed cuffs and hem take a contrast accent color but not dense embroidery.
What is the minimum order?
There is no minimum. Order from a single piece up. Tier-1 pricing covers 1-20 pieces at the same per-piece rate, with five additional volume brackets giving deeper discounts up to 1,000 pieces.
What is the production and delivery timeline?
Production runs about two weeks from artwork approval. Tracked door-to-door shipping to 50+ countries adds 4-7 business days, putting your custom pullover softball batting jackets in your team's hands inside three weeks of sign-off. Rush production available on request.
