Custom Team Shirts for Every Sport

Every team needs shirts. Not once, but over and over again throughout the season. Practice shirts for the first week of tryouts. Fan shirts for the parents in the stands. Tournament shirts to remember the weekend. Spirit wear to sell through the team store. Custom team shirts are the foundation of your program's apparel, and they're the most affordable way to get your team's name out there.

Starting at $12 per shirt for screen-printed tees, team shirts fit any budget. You don't need to wait for a big uniform order. Custom team t-shirts can be the first thing you order for a new season or the quick add-on that rounds out a bigger custom team uniforms package.

Secondslide produces custom team shirts in cotton, blend, and performance fabrics with screen printing, sublimation, DTF, and heat transfer options. One vendor for practice tees, fan shirts, coaching polos, and everything in between.

The use cases for custom team shirts go well beyond practice. Team practice shirts handle daily training sessions, but the same design on a cotton tee becomes fan wear for parents, a fundraising item for the booster club, or a tournament keepsake the whole team keeps. Custom sports shirts are the most versatile item in your apparel program because they work for every audience and every occasion.

Print method matters, and the right choice depends on your design and budget. Screen printing is the most affordable option for 1-3 color designs on cotton or blends. It's ideal for team spirit shirts with a simple logo and team name. For complex, full-color designs, sublimation prints on polyester with unlimited colors and no setup fees, similar to sublimated jerseys. DTF (direct-to-film) is the best option for detailed logos on dark-colored fabrics where screen printing would require too many layers.

The fundraising angle is worth calling out. Custom team shirts are the highest-volume item in online team stores, and they generate healthy margins for sports fundraising programs. Parents and fans buy shirts throughout the season, not just at the start. Because every order is produced on demand, there's no upfront inventory cost and no risk of unsold stock.

The range of custom team shirts runs from a $12 screen-printed cotton tee to a $25 sublimated performance shirt. The right pick depends on what your team needs it for.

Team practice shirts need to handle daily use, sweat, and frequent washing. Moisture-wicking polyester is the best fabric for practice because it dries fast and stays comfortable during long training sessions. Custom team t-shirts in cotton are better suited for fan wear and casual use. They're softer, more comfortable for all-day wearing, and cost less per unit.

Fundraiser shirts should hit a price point that leaves room for healthy margins. A $12-14 cotton tee sold at $20-25 through your team store gives your program $6-13 per shirt in pure profit. That adds up fast when parents, siblings, and fans are all buying.

Many teams order 2-3 shirt styles for different purposes. A performance tee for athletes, a cotton tee for the team store, and maybe a long-sleeve option for cooler weather. You can combine all of these in one order alongside custom team hoodies and custom team jackets for volume pricing across your entire apparel package.
