Two of the most common Next Level searches, v-neck and pocket tee, both run into the same honest answer: neither style is currently in the Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog under the Next Level brand. Rather than leave that question unanswered, here is what is actually available and how close it gets to what you are looking for.

What These Searches Are Actually Looking For

A v-neck search is usually about the collar shape, a lower, angled neckline instead of a crew's round collar. A pocket tee search is usually about the small patch pocket detail stitched onto the chest. Both are construction details built into the blank shirt itself, not something a print design can technically replicate.

The Honest Answer on Next Level V-Neck and Pocket Styles

Next Level does make a CVC v-neck tee under style number 6240, and separate pocket-style tees, but neither is part of the current Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog. The catalog's Next Level lineup covers crew-neck cotton, CVC, and triblend tees, plus tanks, not v-neck or pocket construction.

The V-Neck Workaround

The catalog carries its own Premium Cotton V-Neck Tee (Bear Grips brand) at $23.88 VIP base, the same price point as the Next Level crew tees. It is not a Next Level-branded shirt, but it delivers the v-neck collar shape at a comparable fabric weight and price.

The Pocket Workaround

There is no true pocket-style blank in the catalog. A printed rectangle or contrast-color graphic placed on the left chest of a Premium Cotton Crew Tee or Premium CVC Jersey Tee gives a similar visual read at a glance, though it will not have a real pocket opening. This works best on a solid cotton or CVC tee rather than a heathered triblend, since the contrast reads more cleanly on a flat color.

When It Is Worth Sourcing the Exact Style Elsewhere

If a team genuinely needs the real garment construction, a true pocket seam or a specific v-neck depth, a specialty blank supplier may be the better fit for that one order. For most team apparel and event swag, the in-catalog alternatives above get the same visual outcome without adding a second supplier to manage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Bear Grips carry an actual Next Level v-neck tee?

Not currently. The catalog's own Premium Cotton V-Neck Tee is the closest in-catalog alternative.

Can a printed design fake a pocket?

Visually, yes, a printed rectangle or contrast graphic on the chest reads like a pocket from a distance, though it will not have a real pocket opening.

Is the v-neck alternative priced similarly to the Next Level crew tees?

Yes, $23.88 VIP base, in the same range as the Premium Cotton Crew Tee and Men's Premium Triblend Crew Tee.

Will more Next Level styles be added to the catalog later?

The catalog is reviewed and can expand over time. Check the shop for current availability before assuming a style is permanently unavailable.
