How to navigate this site
Select the sports category using the navigation menu on the left or top of every page. Clicking the name of each sports category brings you to the main landing page for that sport. Or you can just hover your cursor over the menus and select the sub-categories for any sport from the drop-down menu.
Each sports category has three main types of Apparel:
All in-stock apparel is just that... it is in carried stock in a variety of colors and ready for immediate shipment or decoration. Any item that is not in a specific "Custom" or "Sublimated" category is an in-stock item. The price shown for in-stock apparel is for the undecorated garment. There is an additional cost for applying lettering, numbers, logos, etc. Contact us with details for what you want on the garment and we will give you a price quote.
All in-stock (undecorated) items can be purchased on-line 24 hours-per-day, seven days-per-week using our online shopping cart. Simply go to the product of your choice, add the quantities of each size desired to your cart and go through the check-out process. You will receive an e-mail confirmation that we received your order and will be given an estimated ship date. Please keep in mind that we are only open Monday-Friday and if you place your order during the weekend or holidays, we will not start processing your order until the following business day.
For custom orders, including in-stock items that we are decorating, you will need to contact us to place your order. We will send you a mock-up proof for your approval before we start production on your order. If you have any questions please text our friendly customer service representatives at (888) 202-3117 for help with custom orders.

How do I know what sizes to order?
We have size charts for all of our products. The link for Size Charts is at the bottom of any page in the grey footer area in the Information column. Sizing varies for different manufacturers or brands of apparel. Just because you wear a certain size in one brand, doesn't necessarily mean that you will fit in the same size garment from our product line. It is highly recommended that you refer to the size charts before placing your order. If you order the wrong size and need to return the product, you will have to pay a 20% restocking charge. If the garments are decorated you cannot return them if you ordered the wrong size.
The easiest thing to do is measure the chest size on a garment that fits you and compare it to our size chart to find the correct size for our garments. The example on the right shows how to correctly measure the chest size on a garment. Measure across the chest about an inch down from where the bottom of the sleeve is attached to the body and multiply that number by two. In the example shown, the measurement is 23" which multiplied by two is 46." Refer to the size chart to see which size corresponds to 46" for the brand you are buying. For example if you are buying an Athletic Knit baseball jersey the 46" chest would correspond to a men's size large and a women's size XL.
If you are on the high number of a size range or between sizes, the best thing to do is simply go up to the next larger size. If you take a little extra time to make sure you are ordering the right size before you place your order, you will save a lot of hassle in the long run. Don't forget to account for slight shrinkage in any poly/cotton blend garment.

What is dye sublimation?
Dye sublimation is a printing process in which all colors for the uniform design including decoration for numbers, logos, team names, etc. are dyed directly into the fabric and become part of the fabric. This makes it permanent and is guaranteed to never fade, crack or peel. For more information about dye sublimation see our primer What is Dye Sublimation?
