Team Shirts
 

Hey CD'ers,

I was wondering what type of shirts your team uses for competitions. In the past, we have used Gildan Heavy Cotton shirts but we weren't very happy with them last year.

Our pro con on our shirts is something like this

Pro:
Relatively cheap
Durable
Doesn't wash out

Cons:
Thick
Hot
Very Baggy (this is good and bad at the same time)


If you could post up the brand/model and a pro-con list, that would be great!

Thanks!

Out pit crew wears polos with our names on them. People order them at the begnning of teh year for around $20-30 (not really sure) and then we wear them at competition for the pit crew.
Regular team members just wear the regular t-shirts.

Last year we got a Gildan shirt, but then we got 2 mechanic shirts. These were pretty cheap, but they look cool! I am not 100% sure where we got them, but if I find out, I will let you know

On my old team (and most activities I've been in), we had Gildan. We got two shirts with the same design; one shirt was blue and the other was charcoal. I don't remember what our polo was. We also had jackets (which had our team number on the back and could be personalized), but again I don't remember the brand. In another club I'm been in, they got Comfort Colors.

My team is also deciding what brand to get. We definitely want a polo and at least one tee shirt. Hopefully, we could have the polo by kickoff. We are recruiting sponsors, which we will list on the back of our shirt, and we don't want any late ones to miss being on the shirt.

Where are you all ordering them from? I know my town has a couple businesses that can do it (Threds, Label Industries, The Tee Spot, among others.) My friends have also suggested Custom Ink or Gandy Ink. We're hoping to have our final decision within the next two weeks.

We get ours from a local shop but may change where we get them from. Each person has two shirts and a sweater-the t-shirt is for Thursday/Friday, and the polo is for Saturday. The sweater is for, well, when it's cold. We also sell "supporter" shirts that look like our sweaters but have the team member names on the back.

Our team has several shirts:
Our presentation teams wear a Polo shirt.
For regular use (in the shop, around town, traveling) we have two t-shirts one solid purple with our logo and one tie dyed with logo
For competitions we wear a team Hawaiian shirt.

Our regular shorts are Gildan, regular weight, intended to last 1 season. I have some that are 10 years old, they are starting too fade but still not too badly. They're not hot; although, March in New Jersey is generally Not Hot.

We also have team travel shirts, which are a nylon or polyester somewhat-loose soccer-type shirt, meant to last several years.

I've been pushing for shirts with pockets. Those come in handy sometimes.
