7-on-7 football shorts are worn on the field, not pads. Your team needs two options most years: a performance training short ($44.88) for tournament play and an athletic mesh short ($26.88) for practice and the gym. Both print with custom team logo on the hip or thigh. No minimum order, members order direct.

On-field shorts vs practice shorts

For game and tournament play, the Bear Grips Performance Training Shorts ($44.88) are the move: lightweight, stretchy, side pockets, premium athletic feel. For practice and the gym, Athletic Mesh Shorts ($26.88) are cheaper, classic, and durable.

Many programs run one of each: a premium performance short as the official team-store piece, a cheaper mesh as a back-up.

Print placement on shorts

Two practical placement zones:

  1. Left thigh: small team logo, cleanest look
  2. Hip: slightly more visible from sideline angle

Player numbers do not go on shorts (numbers go on the back of the wicking tee). Keep short logos small and clean.
