Custom Compression Shirts for Teams
Sublimated compression tops that perform as well as they look. Long-sleeve, short-sleeve, sleeveless, and mock neck options with custom team branding. Four-way stretch, moisture-wicking fabric that maintains compression through the season. No minimums, 2-3 week turnaround.
Custom compression shirts from Secondslide add a branded base layer to your team's uniform. Football programs are our biggest compression customers because the long sleeves are visible under shoulder pads, turning a base layer into a branding opportunity. But basketball, wrestling, baseball, soccer, and track programs all order custom compression for training, warm-ups, and game-day wear.
Our sublimated compression shirts let you print team logos, colors, and designs directly into the fabric without affecting the stretch, compression, or moisture-wicking performance. When your entire roster wears matching compression, it ties the program look together from the weight room to the field.

Why Choose Custom Compression Shirts
Performance base layers with team branding that ties your program together.
Sublimated Custom Designs
Unlimited colors and edge-to-edge printing on compression fabric. The sublimation process does not affect stretch, fit, or moisture-wicking performance. Your design becomes part of the fabric itself.
Performance Compression Fabric
Four-way stretch material that provides muscle support, reduces fatigue, and wicks moisture away from the skin. Designed to regulate body temperature during intense training and competition.
Multiple Sleeve & Neck Options
Long-sleeve, short-sleeve, and sleeveless compression tops. Mock neck option for football players who want extra coverage under pads and helmets. Every style maintains full compression fit.
Team-Branded Base Layers
When your entire team wears matching compression under their uniforms, it ties the look together from the field to the weight room. Visible on the arms under football pads and at basketball warm-ups.
No Minimums
Order for a single athlete or outfit an entire program with matching compression gear. Same quality at every quantity, with volume discounts for larger orders.
2-3 Week Turnaround
Standard delivery in 2-3 weeks from design approval. Rush options available when pre-season training starts and you need base layers for the first practice.
Custom compression is both a performance product and a branding tool. The performance side is straightforward: four-way stretch fabric provides muscle support, reduces fatigue, regulates body temperature, and wicks moisture away from the skin. Players feel the difference during intense training sessions and late in games when fatigue sets in.
The branding side is where team compression stands apart from plain base layers you buy off the shelf. Football programs order matching long-sleeve compression because the arms are visible under shoulder pads on every play. It turns a functional layer into part of the uniform. Basketball teams wear branded compression under jerseys during warm-ups and training.
Sublimation is the right decoration method for compression because screen printing on stretch fabric cracks and peels when the material expands. Sublimation ink is infused into the polyester fibers, so it stretches and recovers with the fabric. Mock neck options add coverage for cold-weather football, soccer, and lacrosse.

Football teams need long-sleeve compression with the option for a mock neck that extends up under the helmet. The long sleeves are the most visible part of the look under shoulder pads. Basketball programs prefer short-sleeve compression worn under jerseys during training and warm-ups. Wrestling coaches order sleeveless compression for the weight room and practice.
Baseball and soccer teams use mock neck compression for cold-weather games in early spring and late fall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can compression shirts be sublimated with custom designs?
Yes. Sublimated compression shirts allow unlimited colors and edge-to-edge designs without affecting the fabric's stretch, compression, or moisture-wicking properties. The ink is infused directly into the polyester fibers, so the print becomes part of the fabric. This is important because screen-printed designs on compression can crack and feel stiff. Sublimation keeps the shirt performing the way compression gear should.
What sports benefit most from custom team compression?
Football is the biggest market because the long sleeves are visible under shoulder pads and add a branded element to the uniform. Basketball teams wear compression under jerseys for training and warm-ups. Wrestling programs use sleeveless compression for the weight room. Baseball and soccer teams order mock necks and long-sleeve compression for cold-weather games. Track and field athletes wear compression for training and cold meets.
What's the difference between compression shirts and regular base layers?
Compression shirts fit tighter and apply gentle pressure to muscles, which can improve blood flow and reduce fatigue during activity. Regular base layers are simply snug-fitting shirts that wick moisture. Our custom compression shirts provide true compression fit with four-way stretch fabric that maintains its shape and compression through repeated washing and use.
Do you carry youth sizes in compression?
Yes. Youth compression shirts are available from youth small through youth XL, covering athletes roughly ages 8 through 14. Youth sizes use the same compression fabric and sublimation options as adult shirts, just proportioned for younger athletes. Adult sizes run from S through 3XL.
Can we match compression to our game uniforms?
Yes, and most teams do. We can match the compression shirt colors, patterns, and branding to your <a href="/custom-team-uniforms">game uniforms</a> for a coordinated look from base layer to jersey. For football teams, this means the visible arm compression matches the overall uniform color scheme.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimums. Order a single compression shirt or outfit an entire program. Volume discounts are available for team orders. Compression shirts are also popular items to sell through your <a href="/team-stores">team store</a> as training gear year-round.
How should compression shirts fit?
Compression shirts should fit snug against the body without restricting movement. They are designed to be tighter than a standard t-shirt. If you are unsure about sizing, we can send a size chart with measurements for each size. When ordering for a team, we recommend having players measure chest and torso length to ensure each player gets the right fit.
