Custom Basketball Quarter Zip Practice Jerseys

Each jersey uses a heavy-duty molded plastic quarter-zip with a smooth pull and a small inner zipper garage at the top of the placket — that's the fabric tab tucked behind the pull that keeps the metal from rubbing your chin or jaw when fully zipped. The zipper itself is sublimated to match your team colors so it doesn't break the visual line of the design. We don't use thin metal zippers on practice gear because they corrode in sweat and gym conditions.

These quarter-zips are layered OVER the game jersey during warmups, drills, bench time, and travel. They're not played in — long sleeves and a quarter-zip collar trap heat once players are running active possessions. Most teams wear them through warmup routines and bench rotations, then take them off when they sub in. They also work as a standalone practice top for cold-gym sessions or early-season outdoor practices when no game jersey is being worn.

The fabric is lightweight moisture-wicking polyester — designed as an active training layer, not a thermal layer. Think of it as a cold-gym warmup top: enough warmth to keep muscles loose during stretching and shooting drills, light enough to breathe through 10-15 minutes of moderate activity. Players typically zip up during warmups and pre-game routines, partially unzip for drills and shooting practice, and pull the jersey off entirely once live play starts. For genuinely cold conditions (early-season outdoor, unheated travel gyms), teams often layer a long-sleeve compression top underneath.

There's no minimum order quantity for the Custom Basketball Quarter Zip Practice Jerseys — order as few as 1 jersey for an individual player, or scale up through our volume tiers (1-24, 25-50, 51-100, and 101-500+) for lower per-item pricing as your order grows. Free shipping is included on every order, regardless of size. Mixed sizes are welcome within a single order at no extra cost.

Standard production time for your custom Basketball Quarter Zip Practice Jerseys is 3 weeks from the time you approve the final design mockup. This includes design creation, manufacturing, quality inspection, and shipping to your location. We also offer rush production for urgent orders — contact us to discuss expedited timelines. We'll provide tracking information once your order ships so you know exactly when to expect delivery.

Practice jerseys are decorated with three methods: full-panel sublimation wraps your team colors, logos, player names, and full design across the entire jersey (sublimation becomes part of the fabric and won't crack or peel through repeated wash cycles); embroidery provides crisp dimensional player names and team logos; and screen printing covers simpler logos and contrast-color branding cost-effectively. Tackle twill is not offered on this product because it cracks on stretch performance fabric. Our design team will create a free mockup so you can approve every method-and-element pairing before production begins.
