Sport-Tek is the performance fabric brand most gyms, leagues, and coaching businesses already recognize on the sideline. Getting it printed the traditional way means opening a wholesale account and ordering a full case per style and color, which is a lot to commit to before you know a design sells. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints the same Sport-Tek pieces one at a time, at the same per-piece price whether it is the first order or the fiftieth.
Sport-Tek sells through blank apparel distributors that require a business account and case-level minimums, often a dozen or more pieces per style and color before the printer will even quote a job. That works fine for a gym that already knows exactly what it needs every season. It does not work for testing a new design, a one-off event shirt, or a small program that cannot predict sizes in advance.

Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.The Men's Moisture-Wicking Tee is the safest starting point for a coaching business or gym program because it fits the widest audience and reads as a workout staple rather than a fashion piece. Programs adding a second product usually pick the Performance Quarter-Zip Pullover for cooler months or the Performance Polo for staff and instructor uniforms, since polos read more professional than a plain tee.
| Piece | VIP base | Typical retail | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture-Wicking Tee | $23.86 | $34-38 | $10-14 |
| Quarter-Zip Pullover | $29.88 | $45-50 | $15-20 |
| Performance Polo | $34.88 | $48-55 | $13-20 |
Polos and quarter-zips carry the highest margin per piece in the Sport-Tek lineup, which is why coaching businesses often lead with a tee for volume and a polo for the staff order.
The setup takes three steps: upload a logo or design at shops.beargrips.com, pick which Sport-Tek products to add to the shop, and set a retail price for each. There is no account approval process and no case order to place before the shop goes live.
