What Track & Field Teams Say
“Our team has been using Empire Five track jerseys for two seasons now and the quality is exceptional. The sublimation printing hasn't faded at all, and the lightweight, breathable fabric keeps our athletes comfortable during intense competitions. Empire Five's customer service made the ordering process seamless from start to finish.”
“We ordered custom singlets for our youth track club and couldn't be happier with the results. The sizing was perfect across all age groups, and the vibrant colors really make our team stand out at meets. Empire Five provided excellent design guidance and delivered ahead of schedule.”
“After washing our track shorts multiple times throughout the season, they still look brand new. The fabric quality is superior to other brands we've tried, and the moisture-wicking technology keeps our runners dry. Empire Five has earned our loyalty with these products.”
“The warm-ups we ordered from Empire Five are absolutely top-notch. They're lightweight enough for pre-race routines but provide excellent coverage for cool morning meets. The sublimation design looks professional and our athletes love wearing them.”
“The custom design on our track jerseys came out even better than we imagined. The sublimation printing is crisp and vibrant, and the lightweight material is perfect for Texas heat. Empire Five's design team was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.”
