Bear Grips Pro Shops does not produce competitive gymnastics leotards. We are honest about this upfront. The platform produces every other piece the competitive team needs around the leotard: warm-up jackets, joggers, hoodies, crewneck sweatshirts, tees, tanks, leggings, polos, and hats. Most competitive programs source leotards from a leotard maker and use Bear Grips Pro Shops for the team apparel layer. Below is the breakdown of what we make and how it pairs with the leotard source the program already trusts.
Competitive gymnastics leotards are a specialty garment. The construction is technical: stretch fabrics, rhinestone application, leg-cut precision, and sanctioning-body rules on logo placement. Leotard manufacturers focus on this single product. Bear Grips Pro Shops focuses on team apparel that uses standard catalog garments and screen-printed or digitally-printed logos. The two product categories require different production capabilities. We do one well and leave the other to the specialists.
Every apparel piece around the leotard for the gymnast, parents, and coaches:
The full catalog covers warm-up, training, meet day, travel, parent gear, and coach gear.
The clean workflow most competitive programs use:
Across the competitive season, the apparel pieces a gymnast wears the most are not the leotard. The leotard appears at meets, roughly twelve to twenty times per year. The warm-up jacket, hoodie, joggers, and team tee get worn at every practice (four to six days per week), every meet, every team event, and often outside of gymnastics entirely. These are the pieces that carry the team identity the furthest. Bear Grips Pro Shops produces every one of them.
For the leotard, logo placement follows sanctioning body rules (often a small logo on the chest or sleeve). For Bear Grips Pro Shops apparel, logo placement is flexible: front chest, full front, full back, sleeve, or any combination. The team gets to make the logo bigger and more visible on the warm-up apparel than the meet leotard rules would allow on the competition piece.
