Augusta Sportswear 1420 - Unisex Training Short - Black

Description
The Augusta Sportswear 1420 is a 3.4 oz 100% polyester wicking-knit training short built as a decoration blank for team, school, and league programs. The full-cut body, 9-inch inseam, and covered elastic waistband with inside drawcord make it a high-volume athletic short that decorators can run through sublimation and heat-press programs at a low per-unit cost. When you are outfitting a roster, a camp, or a promotional giveaway and the print or transfer is the deliverable, the 1420 is the wholesale short that keeps the blank cost down without compromising the wicking performance athletes expect.
For sublimation, the 1420 is the natural fit: 100% polyester is the only fabric that accepts dye-sublimation, and on white and light shorts the print bonds permanently into the fibre with no hand and no cracking. Sublimation is the primary method here, so build white and light colourways into the order if all-over or photographic graphics are planned. For DTF transfers, the wicking knit bonds well with DTF adhesives; press at the lower end of the standard polyester range and protect the surface, because the lightweight 3.4 oz knit scorches faster than heavyweight fleece. For screen printing on coloured 1420 shorts, the 100% polyester body carries high dye-migration risk on reds, royals, and other reactive-dye colours; use a poly-blocking low-bleed underbase and cure at the minimum effective temperature, and test a print before committing a full roster run. DTG is not viable on this fabric, and the lightweight wicking knit takes embroidery only on the waistband or a stabilised panel, not on the open leg.

The 1420 holds consistent sizing and a stable polyester base across production runs, which matters when a league reorders mid-season and the new shorts have to match the first batch on the field. Polyester shows less batch-to-batch shade drift than dyed cotton, so reorder matching on stocked colours is reliable. TheClothingSpace stocks the Augusta 1420 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sublimation | ✓ | Primary method for the 1420: 100% polyester accepts dye-sublimation; on white and light shorts the print bonds permanently into the fibre with no hand and no cracking |
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | Wicking knit bonds well with DTF adhesives; press at the lower end of the standard polyester range and protect the lightweight 3.4 oz surface, which scorches faster than fleece |
| Screen Print (Plastisol) | ✓ | 100% polyester carries high dye-migration risk on reds, royals, and reactive-dye colours; use a poly-blocking low-bleed underbase and cure at the minimum effective temperature, and test before a full roster run |
| Vinyl / HTV | ✓ | Use polyester-rated heat-transfer vinyl at the lower press temperature to avoid scorching the lightweight knit |
| Embroidery | ✗ | Lightweight wicking knit takes embroidery only on the waistband or a stabilised panel, not on the open leg; route leg decoration to sublimation or DTF |
| Screen Print (Water-based) | ✗ | 100% polyester does not hold water-based or discharge inks; route to plastisol with a poly-block |
| DTG | ✗ | DTG is formulated for cotton and is not viable on 100% polyester wicking knit; route to sublimation, DTF, or screen print |
