Custom Football Long Sleeve T-Shirts

The Custom Football Long Sleeve T-Shirts provide UPF 30-50 sun protection across the arms, chest, and back — the long-sleeve cut covers the high-exposure areas (forearms and shoulders) that take the most UV during outdoor summer training sessions and turf field work. UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) is the fabric equivalent of SPF for sunscreen: UPF 30 blocks ~97% of UV, UPF 50 blocks ~98%. Tightly-woven 100% polyester naturally carries inherent UV protection because the fiber blocks UV photons; the mesh ventilation panels are placed along the torso (under the arm) where airflow is needed but direct sun exposure is minimal. This makes long-sleeve a smarter pick than short-sleeve for August two-a-days, hot-weather practice, and outdoor turf field training when sunburn risk is highest.

Both work for cold-weather training but serve different roles: the LONG SLEEVE T-SHIRT is a loose-fit polyester training tee — cut for street-clothing comfort with mesh ventilation, UPF sun protection, and quick-dry properties. It's the right pick for sideline coverage, pregame warmups, cold-weather practice as an outer training top, and gym sessions. It is NOT cut to fit under shoulder pads (the loose fit bunches against pad foam). The COMPRESSION SHIRT is a form-fitting poly-spandex base layer designed for under-pad use OR 7v7/flag standalone — it sits snug to the body, eliminates bunching under pads, and uses 4-way stretch. Most varsity programs order BOTH: compression shirts as the under-pad base layer, long-sleeve tees as the training/sideline outer layer. Mixed orders are welcome at no extra cost.

Yes — the Custom Football Long Sleeve T-Shirts layer with the rest of your practice and game kit in three positions: (1) UNDER the game jersey for cold-weather October-November-playoff games as an arm/shoulder warmth layer (size up one if going under pads), (2) OVER the compression shirt as a mid-layer in early-fall and late-fall practice (the compression shirt handles base-layer moisture-wicking, the long-sleeve handles UV and abrasion), and (3) STANDALONE on warm-weather summer training days or as a sideline coverage layer post-game. The polyester wicks moisture out of the layer stack so players stay dry through full practice sessions. The mesh ventilation panels position airflow at the torso where it's needed most during high-output reps.

There's no minimum order quantity for the Custom Football Long Sleeve T-Shirts — order as few as 1 shirt 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 Football Long Sleeve T-Shirts 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 (e.g., a pre-camp roster restock) — contact us to discuss expedited timelines. We'll provide tracking information once your order ships so you know exactly when to expect delivery.

The Custom Football Long Sleeve T-Shirts are decorated with three methods: sublimation prints unlimited-color graphics directly into the quick-dry polyester (no cracking, peeling, or fading); embroidery delivers crisp dimensional team logos and school crests; and screen printing handles cost-effective single-color graphics across the chest, back, or sleeve. Tackle twill is not offered on this product per our practice-gear policy — heavyweight sewn-on patches add stiffness on a lightweight training tee and catch on shoulder-pad edges if worn under pads. Our design team will create a free mockup within 12 hours so you can approve every method-and-element pairing before production begins.
