Two Jerzees fleece names get search traffic that often gets crossed: Nublend and Super Sweats. They are not the same fabric, and mixing them up leads to the wrong expectation when a custom order shows up. Nublend is the cotton-poly blend most decorators reach for today. Super Sweats is an older, heavier line known for a bigger cotton share and a reputation that keeps thrift shoppers and collectors searching for it years after any given run was made. Here is the honest difference, and which one actually ships from Bear Grips Pro Shops.
| Line | Fabric | Weight | Best known for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nublend | Cotton-poly blend | Mid-weight | Current decorator standard, screen print and embroidery friendly |
| Super Sweats | Higher cotton share | Heavier | Older production runs, thrift and vintage collector interest |
Both lines share the Jerzees name, but they are marketed and produced differently. Nublend is built for volume decoration work at a workable price point. Super Sweats leans into a heavier hand feel and higher cotton content, which is part of why secondhand pieces from the line hold value with collectors.
The 63-product catalog carries two Jerzees pieces, the Men's Pocket Sweatpants and the Men's Open Bottom Sweatpants, both from the Nublend line, both at $40.88 VIP base ($49.92 on the free plan). Neither is a Super Sweats style. If a search for "jerzees super sweats sweatpants" or "jerzees super sweats nublend" brought you here expecting that specific heavier line, the straight answer is that it is not in the catalog today.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Older Super Sweats pieces, identified by a distinct tag style, are a common thrift store and resale find, and that keeps the line searched years after most runs were produced. That is a collector's market question about existing secondhand garments, separate from placing a new custom order. Bear Grips Pro Shops is a print on demand platform for new apparel, not a marketplace for used or vintage pieces, so this guide focuses on what ships new with your logo rather than authenticating an old tag.
Nublend still holds up as a solid, true-to-size sweatpant for most gym, team, and brand orders. If the goal is specifically a heavier hand feel, the wider 63-product catalog carries other fleece bottoms at higher weights alongside the two Jerzees styles, so a shop is not limited to a single fabric weight across its whole line.

Start FreeNeither is strictly better. Super Sweats runs heavier with a bigger cotton share and is mostly a heritage line today. Nublend is the current decorator standard built for screen print and embroidery at a workable price.
No. The catalog carries two Jerzees products, the Pocket Sweatpants and the Open Bottom Sweatpants, both from the Nublend line.
Older Super Sweats pieces are a popular thrift and resale find because of the heavier fabric and collector interest in the line. That is a secondhand market question, separate from ordering new custom apparel.
The Jerzees Nublend sweatpants at $40.88 VIP base are the closest match under the Jerzees name. Heavier fleece options also exist elsewhere in the 63-product catalog.
