Description
The Champion 81622 is a unisex mesh athletic short with side pockets. The 100% polyester mesh body delivers maximum breathability for gym, practice, and athletic event use. The elastic waistband with inside drawcord and 9-inch inseam provide a standard athletic fit. The Champion "C" logo on the left leg adds brand recognition without additional decoration cost.
DTF transfers are the primary decoration method for mesh shorts. The film bridges the mesh openings, creating a solid print surface. Apply with firm pressure to ensure adhesion across the textured mesh. Screen printing works with a heavier ink deposit to fill mesh holes; plastisol with poly-block additives prevents dye migration. Sublimation works on white and light mesh since the fabric is 100% polyester. Embroidery works for small logos but requires a tear-away stabilizer behind the mesh.
