Crew Rowing T-Shirts

Crew rowing t-shirts are the casual everyday team wear. Unlike race-day performance tees, cotton tees live off the water: at school, on the bus to practice, at team dinners, at the post-regatta brunch. Bear Grips Pro Shops carries cotton, triblend, and CVC blend tees with no minimum, perfect for boathouse stores that need to keep small inventory but offer a full lineup.

• Team name on the back, team logo on the chest. Standard layout. Reads instantly as a rowing team tee.
• Boat-and-oars graphic with team name underneath. Classic rowing iconography. Pairs with cotton triblend tees.
• Rower name and seat position on the sleeve. "Seat 5 - Henderson" stitched or printed on the sleeve for personalized team tees.
• Regatta or season tee. "[Year] Spring Season" or "[Regatta Name] [Year]" for limited drops.
• Class year roster. Senior class roster on the back, perfect for end-of-season tees.

Cotton vs Triblend for Rowing Team Tees

Two fabric directions:

• Cotton (Bear Grips Airlume). Standard team tee. Soft, prints crisp, durable, the volume leader. Best for general team shirts and unisex sizing.
• Triblend (Next Level Premium Triblend). Premium upgrade. Slightly softer feel, vintage drape, photographs slightly more refined. Best for alumni gift tees and end-of-season presentation pieces.

Most boathouses stock both. Casual rowers reach for the cotton tee; team captains and alumni gravitate toward the triblend.

Tee Color Palette for Rowing Teams

Rowing teams traditionally lean toward heritage colors. Strong picks:

• Navy. The default rowing color. Heritage, classic, photographs well.
• Black. Modern alternative. Pairs with any logo color.
• Charcoal heather. The vintage drape pick. Great for triblend tees.
• Cream or natural. Heritage prep aesthetic. Pairs with navy or maroon team colors.
• Maroon, hunter green, gold. Common team-specific accent colors.

Avoid bright primary colors (red, royal blue, electric yellow) for the casual tee lineup. Save them for limited regatta drops if the school colors require them.
