Elastic waistbands with internal drawcords

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity for custom sports shorts?

Minimum order quantities vary by style and customisation method. Submit a quote request with your required quantities and we'll confirm the relevant minimums for your order.

Can I include multiple logos, sponsor branding, and squad numbers on the shorts?

Yes. Sublimation printing supports full-garment custom design, including logos, squad numbers, player names, and sponsor branding across the entire surface of the short.

What fabric are the custom athletic shorts made from?

Shorts are produced in lightweight polyester and polyester-blend fabrics suited to training and competition use. Fabric weight and construction details are listed per style, confirm your preferred spec when requesting a quote.

Can I order custom sports shorts in different sizes for a full squad?

Yes. Shorts are available across standard adult and youth sizing. Provide your size run or individual player measurements when placing your order to ensure accurate size distribution.

What's the difference between sublimation and screen printing for custom training shorts?

Sublimation bonds colour directly into the fabric and supports all-over, multi-colour designs. Screen printing applies ink to the surface and suits logo placement on standard-colour base garments. The right method depends on your design complexity and garment colour.
