Champion CC8C - Unisex Long-Sleeve T-Shirt - Black

The Champion CC8C Heritage Long-Sleeve T-Shirt is a 5.2 oz US-grown cotton jersey crew with rib knit cuffs, a taped neck, and the embroidered Champion C logo at the left cuff. The long-sleeve format puts a decorated blank in front of buyers who need sleeve length year-round: school and spirit programs, campus bookstore runs, team and staff uniforms, and branded retail lines where the Champion name carries weight on the shelf. At 5.2 oz and 20 singles, the CC8C is a midweight long-sleeve tee, lighter than a fleece layer and heavier than a typical 4.2 oz fashion body, which gives it a clean flat drape on the platen and enough structure to hold a full-front or full-sleeve print without distortion. The branded C cuff mark makes it a different buying decision than an unbranded long-sleeve blank: it is the right call on a program where the wearer values the Champion name, and the wrong call when unit cost drives the decision and an unbranded body is acceptable.

The blend map controls your decoration choices on the CC8C. Solid colours are 100% US-grown cotton and behave as a straight cotton substrate. Ash is 99% cotton with 1% polyester, close enough to cotton that it discharges nearly fully. Light Steel is 90/10 cotton/polyester, which limits discharge but still holds pre-treat well for DTG. Charcoal Heather is 60/40 cotton/polyester, poly-majority, which means dye migration is a real factor on any heat-based method: run a low-bleed poly-blocking underbase on screen prints, step cure temperature down toward the lower end of the ink range, and route to DTF if you want to avoid the underbase step on that colour entirely. For DTF, the cotton-dominant body across most colours bonds cleanly at standard press settings and the soft low-bulk film moves with the lightweight jersey without adding stiffness. For screen printing on cotton solids, plastisol lays down cleanly with no migration concerns; on Charcoal Heather, add a poly-block underbase and moderate your cure temp. For DTG, the 100% cotton solids and Ash give you the sharpest and most vibrant result with a white underbase on navy, black, cardinal, and the deeper grounds; Light Steel pretreats well and reads clean; Charcoal Heather at 60/40 will mute slightly and needs a test pretreat pass. For embroidery, the midweight 5.2 oz jersey supports a left-chest logo at a moderate stitch count over a tear-away backing; go higher on the stitch count with a cut-away backing for a full sleeve or back placement. The Champion C cuff logo and the long sleeve itself limit some placement options: keep the full-front design centred above the waist seam, and plan sleeve prints clear of the cuff C logo area.

The reorder note for the CC8C: Champion holds consistent sizing and construction across production runs, so it is reorder-reliable for ongoing school, team, and retail programs. The blend exceptions matter most on reorders: if your program mixes Charcoal Heather with cotton solids, document your underbase and cure settings per colour group and keep them separate in the print queue. The 60/40 Charcoal Heather also means you should not promise exact reorder colour matching across dye lots when combining it with a 100% cotton solid in the same program, since the two substrates absorb and hold dye differently. TheClothingSpace stocks the CC8C 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.
