Sport-Tek is one of the more recognized athletic brands in team apparel, and its mesh shorts show up in search more than almost any other bottoms keyword in the custom apparel space. Bear Grips Pro Shops carries four Sport-Tek pieces built for exactly this kind of team and gym shop: mens and youth Athletic 7-inch Mesh Shorts, Ladies 3-inch Fitness Shorts, and the Women's Skort. This guide covers what is actually in the catalog, what it costs at each pricing tier, and how the Sport-Tek pieces work alongside the Bear Grips leggings line to round out a full bottoms shop.

What Sport-Tek Bottoms Are Actually in the Bear Grips Catalog

ProductAudienceFree baseVIP base
Athletic 7" Mesh Shorts (No Pockets)Mens/unisex$32.92$26.88
Youth Athletic Mesh Shorts (No Pockets)Youth$32.92$26.88
Ladies 3" Fitness ShortsWomens$37.88$30.88
Women's SkortWomens$41.93$34.88

All four are the moisture-wicking mesh construction Sport-Tek is known for. None of them carry pockets, which matters if a buyer is searching specifically for a pocketed style. See the pockets section below for what to reach for instead.

Is There a Sport-Tek Legging in the Catalog?

No. The leggings in the Bear Grips catalog are Bear Grips brand, not Sport-Tek: the Signature Seamless Leggings ($63.93 free / $54.88 VIP), the Women's High-Waist Pocket Leggings ($65.95 free / $54.88 VIP), and the Women's High-Waist Capri Leggings ($65.95 free / $54.88 VIP). A shop that wants the Sport-Tek mesh shorts or skort alongside a legging option is not missing anything by mixing brands. Vendors do this constantly: a Sport-Tek skort for practice, a Bear Grips seamless legging for lifting days, both printed with the same logo and both on the same product page grid.

Who Actually Buys Sport-Tek Mesh Shorts and Skorts

Setting Up a Sport-Tek Bottoms Section in Your Shop

  1. Sign up free (3 live products) or on Self-Service VIP at $59/mo for 200 live products.
  2. Upload your logo once, no per-product setup fee.
  3. List the mens mesh shorts, youth mesh shorts, ladies fitness shorts, and skort as a "bottoms" section on your shop page.
  4. Add the Bear Grips leggings alongside if your buyers want a legging option too.
  5. Set retail. Most vendors run $10 profit over VIP base as the default recommended margin.

Design Placement That Works on Mesh Shorts and Skorts

Mesh shorts have less print real estate than a tee, so keep it simple: a small logo on the left leg hem, or a team name printed down the outseam. The Women's Skort has a similar constraint since the shorts liner sits under a skirt panel, so most shops put the logo on the waistband tag area or skip printing the skort and use it as a solid-color complement to a printed tee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the Sport-Tek mesh shorts have pockets?

No. The catalog lists them as Athletic 7" Mesh Shorts (No Pockets), for both the mens and youth versions. They are the clean, pocket-free athletic cut.

Is there a mens Sport-Tek legging?

No. Leggings in the catalog are Bear Grips brand and currently womens-cut only (Signature Seamless, High-Waist Pocket, High-Waist Capri).

Is there a minimum order to print one pair of shorts?

No. Single-piece printing is the same process as a hundred-piece order. One skort for one player prints the same way as a full team set.

How fast do these ship?

About a week from order to door, with free shipping to the end customer in the USA on every plan.
