AS Colour Youth Stadium Shorts S | 3026S

Description

The AS Colour Youth Stadium Shorts are built for the reality of youth apparel — they’re going to get worn hard, washed constantly, and handed down. At 320GSM, this is a heavyweight cotton short that doesn’t feel like a liability. The preshrunk construction means the sizing you order is the sizing you get after the first wash, which matters when you’re ordering 50 pieces for a summer camp and can’t afford to guess on shrinkage.

Who Orders It

Summer camps ordering staff and camper uniforms that need to survive six weeks of daily wear. Elementary and middle school athletics programs building spirit wear packages. Dance studios and youth gymnastics programs wanting a comfortable warm-up short. Children’s clothing brands testing custom runs before scaling production. Church youth groups and VBS programs ordering matching sets. Youth sports leagues — soccer, basketball, flag football — building team gear parents will actually let kids wear off the field.

Decoration

The 320GSM weight gives this short real stability under decoration. Screen printing lays down cleanly with minimal ink absorption issues — you get solid opacity on the first pass. The cotton takes DTG well, though expect slight hand-feel change in larger print areas. For leg prints or hip logos, we recommend keeping designs under 4 inches wide to account for movement stress. Embroidery works on waistband areas but requires backing support given the fabric weight. Heat transfer vinyl is viable for names and numbers on shorter runs.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on youth shorts?
Screen printing is the standard for youth shorts — it’s durable, cost-effective at volume, and the 320GSM cotton holds ink well. For smaller orders or individual names, heat transfer vinyl works cleanly on the leg or hip.

Will these shrink after washing?
No. The fabric is preshrunk before construction, so the sizing holds after washing. Order true to size.

Are these good for summer camp uniforms?
Yes — this is exactly the use case. Heavyweight cotton survives daily wear, the preshrunk construction means consistent fit across a large order, and the price point works for programs ordering in bulk.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most youth apparel programs start at 24–50 pieces for best per-unit pricing. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
