| Cotton tee | Travel days, team events and fan wear | Screenprint, the lowest-cost option for simple designs |
| Team hoodie | Cold practices and travel | Screenprint |
Sublimated or cotton team shirts
Performance tees are polyester, which is what makes sublimation possible: unlimited colours and a design that is part of the fabric. Cotton cannot be sublimated, so cotton tees are screenprinted, which keeps cost down for simple one or two colour designs but fades over time.
For shirts players practise in every week, sublimated performance fabric lasts longer. For parent and fan shirts worn a few times a season, cotton screenprint is usually the better value.
Shirts for parents and fans
Fan shirts put parents, siblings and supporters in the same colours as the dugout. Many programs add a supporter run to the team order so it arrives in the same delivery.

Frequently asked
Can team shirts match our uniform colours?
Yes. Shirts are made from the same colour values kept on file for your uniforms, so the team colours match across jerseys, shirts and jackets.
Should practice shirts be sublimated or screenprinted?
Sublimated performance tees for anything worn and washed every week, because the design cannot crack. Screenprinted cotton for fan and event shirts, where cost matters more than long-term durability.
