Custom Softball Standard Knickers

Three bottom styles carry across our softball line.

• Standard Knicker (this product) — the knee-length cut that stops below the knee, worn with high socks or stirrups for the traditional baseball-heritage look; favored by programs that want the classic stirrup-showing aesthetic.
• Standard Pant — the full-length game-day pant with open or closed hem; the most common all-around choice when a program does not specifically want the stirrup look.
• Softball Shorts — the warm-weather and slowpitch bottom.

The knicker and pant share the same 220 GSM performance polyester shell with double-knee reinforcement; the shorts use a lighter moisture-wicking athletic knit for warm-weather play. All three share the same custom piping and decoration capability. The knicker and pant sit at slightly different price points only because the knicker uses less fabric; their construction quality, fabric, and decoration are identical. The choice between knicker and pant is program aesthetic, not durability — a knicker and a full-length pant from the same order will wear identically, the only difference is the leg length and whether the player shows a sock or stirrup.

The knicker is cut to stop below the knee, leaving the lower leg for a sock or stirrup to show — that exposed-sock look is the entire point of the knicker cut and the reason programs choose it over a full-length pant. Two cuff styles are available at no extra cost, and both can be mixed within a single team order: the elastic cuff gathers snugly at the bottom of the knicker so it stays put just below the knee without riding up, and the button cuff closes with a button tab for a slightly more traditional, adjustable finish. Players typically pair the knicker with either a solid team-color sock pulled up to the knee, or a two-piece stirrup-over-sanitary-sock setup for the classic look. We do not make the socks or stirrups as part of the knicker order, but our custom softball socks are available separately, in your team colors.

Yes. Sublimated player names and numbers go on the knicker and are included in the price. The knicker also carries colorway and team-identity decoration: sublimation builds the base color, pinstripes, side piping, and any sublimated panels into the woven shell; embroidery adds a small dimensional team mark on the leg or waistband; screen printing handles an opaque team logo on the leg. The most common knicker decoration is simply the team colorway plus side piping that matches the jersey. Tackle twill, which carries the player names and numbers on the jersey, is not used on the knicker. Order the knicker with a jersey and both go in the same design mockup.

There's no minimum order quantity for the Custom Softball Standard Knickers. Order as few as 1 pair, or scale up through our volume tiers (1 to 24, 25 to 50, 51 to 100, and 101+ pairs) for lower per-pair pricing as your order grows. Free shipping is included on every US order, regardless of size. Mixed sizes and mixed cuff styles (elastic and button) are welcome within a single order at no extra cost: youth (YS to YXL) and adult (XS to 4XL) sizes all ship together at the same per-pair tier price.

Production takes 2 to 3 weeks after you approve your design, then shipping to your door takes 3 to 5 days. Need it sooner? Ask for a free rush. We do it when production allows, and it is never guaranteed. Tracking information is provided once your order ships so you know exactly when to expect delivery.

Three decoration methods on softball knickers: sublimation (colorway, pinstripes, side piping, and sublimated panels dye-fused into the 220 GSM performance polyester shell), embroidery (small dimensional team mark on the leg or waistband), and screen printing (opaque team logo on the leg). Elastic or button cuff is selectable per player at no extra cost, and custom side piping comes in your team colors. Sublimated names, numbers and logos are included in the per-pair price with no setup or design fees. Free design mockups are sent within 12 hours so you can preview the final look before production begins.
