French terry or fleece for sweat shorts, polyester mesh for basketball and gym shorts, and nylon for light shorts. Tell us how they will be worn, and we will suggest one.

Can you make shorts to match our hoodies or tees?

Yes. See our basketball uniforms page for mesh game shorts, and our boxing shorts page for boxing trunks, Muay Thai and MMA shorts.
