If you searched for a custom 7-on-7 jersey maker, here is the honest breakdown. There are two distinct categories of 7-on-7 jerseys: printed wicking performance shirts (what most teams below the elite tournament tier actually wear), and full sublimated uniforms with all-over panel printing (what Pylon-tier elite teams wear). Bear Grips Pro Shops makes the first. We do not make the second. This guide explains the difference and helps you pick.

Printed wicking tees: what we make

What it is: a Sport-Tek polyester wicking tee with your team logo screen-printed on the front, player name and number on the back. Lightweight, fast-drying, holds up to multi-game tournament days. The same shirt every rec-league, school-affiliated, and most travel 7-on-7 teams wear.

What it costs: $23.86 base on VIP plan. Common retail $35 to $40 per shirt with name + number included.

Lead time: about one week US delivery, no minimum order, individual player orders ship to their address.

Sublimated all-over jerseys: what we do not make

What it is: a cut-and-sew or sublimated polyester jersey with custom panel designs across the entire garment. Custom color blocks, gradients, multiple logos, school-uniform-grade construction. Used by elite tournament programs (Pylon Elite, OT7, Battle 7v7 top teams).

What it costs: typically $60 to $120 per jersey through a sublimation house, usually with a 6 to 24 unit minimum, 3 to 6 week lead time, and large per-order setup fees.

Bear Grips does not make these. Look at sublimation specialists like ProLook, Boombah, or direct-from-Adidas custom team programs.

What you can do with us beyond the game jersey

Even teams that buy sublimated game uniforms elsewhere typically run the rest of their apparel through us:

This is the bulk of total apparel volume for any 7-on-7 program. The game uniform is the minority of pieces members buy in a season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do not you offer sublimated jerseys?

Sublimation is a different production process requiring sublimation printers and cut-and-sew construction. Our partner network is print-on-demand for stocked garments, not custom-construction.

Can I add a player number to your wicking tees?

Yes. Number on the back, name above or below. Each shirt is printed per order.

Will a printed wicking tee look like a real jersey?

It looks like a printed performance shirt with player number, not a sublimated panel jersey. For non-elite 7-on-7 this is the standard.

What does an elite team typically do for non-game apparel?

They use a sublimation house for game uniforms and a print-on-demand platform like Pro Shops for warmups, hoodies, and team store gear.
