Why Choose the Prentice?

• Featherweight performance fabric: Lightweight technical material helps reduce bulk during movement and warm conditions.
• Basketball-specific styling: The shape and panel layout create a recognizable courtwear appearance.
• Complete sublimated artwork: Use team colors, patterns, logos, sponsors, names, and numbers throughout the shorts.
• Reinforced stitching: Key seams are strengthened for repeated play, training, and event wear.
• Full squad personalization: Add individual player details within the same team order.
• Flexible group sizing: Men’s, women’s, and children’s sizes can be included within the same order.

Fabric and Performance

The Prentice is made from Featherweight Performance Fabric, a lightweight technical polyester developed for airflow, moisture management, and low-bulk movement.

It feels smooth, breathable, and distinctly sportswear-focused. The fabric dries quickly and produces clear dye-sublimated colors, numbers, logos, and patterns.

A Retro Shape With Modern Artwork

The Prentice can be designed around traditional school and club colors or turned into a full visual statement using gradients, patterns, sponsor graphics, and contrasting side panels.

Available design directions include:

• Classic two-color basketball layouts
• Contrast side stripes and panels
• Retro-inspired piping and trims
• Full-garment patterns and graphics
• Player names and numbers
• Sponsor and league branding
• Coordinated jersey artwork

Fit and Basketball-Short Options

The Prentice is available in men’s, women’s, and children’s sizing, with different sizes mixed within the same order.

Available options include:

• Basketball-inspired cut
• Custom waistband and drawcord details
• Contrast side panels and trims
• Reinforced stitching
• Team logos and sponsor graphics
• Individual names and player numbers
• Custom labels and internal branding
• Mixed sizes across the squad

Build the Shorts Into the Team Kit

You can customize:

• Base colors and Pantone-matched shades
• Patterns, gradients, and full-garment artwork
• Team logos, school marks, sponsors, and event branding
• Individual names and numbers
• Waistband, side-panel, piping, and hem colors
• Custom labels and internal details
• Coordinated artwork across matching jerseys

The artwork is dye-sublimated into the fabric, so printed details remain light and flexible without cracking or peeling.
