How to Brand Calisthenics Bottoms
Bottoms accept smaller designs than tops. The cleanest placements:
- Hip or thigh logo. Single color, 3-4 inches, mid-thigh outer.
- Back yoke text. Crew or city name across the back waistband.
- Leg cuff stamp. Small mark above the cuff on joggers.
Avoid printing large multi-color graphics on bottoms. Print quality is best on smaller single-color marks.
