Custom Athletic Shorts for Every Sport
Custom athletic shorts designed to match your team jerseys, in every style from basketball to track to training. Pick your sport, pick your fit, and we handle the rest. No minimums, no setup fees.
Custom athletic shorts are the other half of a complete uniform. Your jerseys look great, but when the shorts don't match, the whole look falls apart. Every sport has its own short style and fit. Basketball shorts run long and loose with wide leg openings. Soccer shorts sit above the knee for quick cuts and full sprints. Track shorts are lightweight splits designed to stay out of the way.
Secondslide produces custom athletic shorts for all of them, built in your exact team colors with your logo. Sublimated, screen-printed, or heat-transferred, with inseam lengths from 5 inches to 11 inches depending on the sport. Pair them with your custom team uniforms for a complete package, or order shorts on their own to refresh your look without replacing everything. No minimums, no setup fees, and a 2-3 week turnaround from design approval to delivery.
Why Choose Custom Athletic Shorts
Matching shorts complete the uniform and give your team a polished look from warmups to the final whistle.
Full Custom Design
Sublimated, screen-printed, or heat-transferred designs in your exact team colors. Add logos on the hip, player numbers on the leg, and custom side panels that match your jerseys from top to bottom.
Sport-Specific Cuts
Basketball shorts run long and loose with a wide leg opening. Soccer shorts sit above the knee for full range of motion. Track shorts are lightweight splits built for speed. Every sport gets the cut it needs.
Youth Through Adult Sizing
Sizes from youth XS through adult 4XL so every player on the roster gets the same look. Club programs that run multiple age groups can match shorts across all teams for a consistent program identity.
Built for Competition
Reinforced stitching at every seam, moisture-wicking fabrics that stay dry through the fourth quarter, and stretch waistbands that hold up from the first practice to the last game of the season.
Bundle with Jerseys
Most teams order shorts alongside jerseys for a complete uniform package. Bundling your shorts with a jersey order means volume pricing and coordinated delivery so everything arrives together, ready for day one.
Fast 2-3 Week Turnaround
Standard production runs 2-3 weeks from design approval. Rush options are available when preseason is around the corner. Ordering shorts with jerseys? Both ship together for one coordinated delivery.
When custom athletic shorts and jerseys match, your team looks like a real program. It sounds simple, but the details matter. Fabric choice depends on the sport: mesh shorts breathe well for warm-up and casual wear, performance polyester handles game-day sweat, and moisture-wicking blends keep players dry through overtime. For customization, sublimated shorts give you bold, all-over designs with unlimited colors that pair perfectly with sublimated jerseys. Screen-printed shorts work well for simpler logos and team names at a lower price point.
On the practical side, you will want to think about waistband style. Drawstring waistbands let players adjust the fit, while elastic-only keeps things simple for younger athletes. Pocketed shorts work for training and warm-ups, but most game shorts are pocketless to meet league rules. Inseam length varies by sport, from 5-inch soccer shorts to 11-inch basketball shorts. Side panel designs can carry accent colors, stripes, or gradients that coordinate with your jersey design for a top-to-bottom unified look. Most teams bundle shorts with their jersey order for volume pricing and coordinated delivery.

Picking the right athletic shorts comes down to your sport and how you plan to use them. Basketball coaches typically want longer mesh or performance shorts that match their basketball uniforms with coordinated side panels and team colors. Soccer coaches need lightweight, shorter shorts designed for the pitch that pair with their soccer team uniforms. Track programs order split or v-notch running shorts built for speed at track meets. Training shorts are the all-purpose option that works across every sport for daily practice.
A lot of teams order two styles: game shorts for competition day and training shorts for practice. Compression shorts are a popular add-on worn underneath game shorts for extra support and coverage. If your program uses sublimated jerseys, matching sublimated shorts give you the sharpest, most consistent look from top to bottom. We can match Pantone colors across your shorts and jerseys so everything coordinates perfectly, even if you are ordering them at different times.

Frequently Asked Questions
What inseam lengths are available for team shorts?
We offer inseam lengths from 5 inches to 11 inches depending on the style and sport. Basketball shorts typically run 9-11 inches for that longer, looser fit. Soccer shorts sit at 5-7 inches for full mobility on the pitch. Training and multi-sport shorts land in the 7-9 inch range, which works well as an all-purpose length. Inseam preference also comes down to your team and players, so we can help you find the right fit.
Can I order shorts to match our existing jerseys?
Absolutely. Send us your existing jersey design, a Pantone color reference, or even a photo, and we will match your shorts to your jerseys. We create digital proofs so you can see the full uniform together before production. Most teams order shorts and jerseys as a package, which also gets you volume pricing on the whole order.
What's the difference between sublimated and screen-printed shorts?
Sublimated shorts have full-color designs baked directly into the fabric, so the print never cracks, peels, or fades. You get unlimited colors and edge-to-edge coverage for bold patterns and gradients. Screen-printed shorts have logos and text applied on top of the fabric, which works great for simpler designs at a lower price point. If your jerseys are sublimated, matching sublimated shorts will give you the most consistent look. Learn more about the <a href="/sublimated-jerseys">sublimation process here</a>.
Do you offer pockets on athletic shorts?
It depends on the style. Game shorts for basketball, soccer, and most competition sports are pocketless since many leagues require it. Training shorts, mesh shorts, and warm-up shorts typically include side pockets. Some styles offer zippered pockets so nothing falls out during drills. When you request a quote, let us know your pocket preference and we will match you with the right style.
What's the minimum order for custom shorts?
No minimums at all. You can order a single pair of shorts or outfit your entire program. Volume discounts kick in for larger team orders, and most teams order shorts as part of a full uniform package with jerseys, which qualifies for even better pricing.
How long does production take?
Standard production takes 2-3 weeks from the time you approve your design proof. Rush options are available if preseason is coming up fast. If you are ordering shorts alongside jerseys, both items ship together so your full uniform package arrives in one delivery.
