BJJ academies, MMA gyms, wrestling programs, and karate or kickboxing dojos all run into the same budget question: how do you get the team looking unified without printing 30 shirts nobody asked for. The apparel side of a combat sports program (team tees, training shorts, hoodies) is one of the cheapest categories to build affordably, since these are standard garment types with no specialty safety requirements attached.
This is a guide to branded team apparel: tees, shorts, and hoodies with your academy or team logo. It does not cover gis, official competition-rated gear, or protective equipment like gloves and headgear, which should always come from a specialty combat sports supplier. Use a branded apparel program for everything a fighter or student wears outside the mat or ring: training tees, walkout hoodies, and casual team shorts.

A 15-person BJJ or wrestling competition team outfitted with one tee and one pair of mesh shorts each runs $700-$750 at VIP base ($19.88 tee + $26.88 shorts, times 15). No minimum order means an academy with 15 competitors is not forced to print 24 or 36 to hit a workable price, unlike most local screen print shops.
Once the academy tee and shorts prove popular with students, add the Comfort Soft Hoodie at $36.88 VIP base for a walkout or cold-weather piece. See the full shorts and bottoms pricing guide or the hoodie budget guide for the next pieces to add, and set up the shop free at Bear Grips Pro Shops.
