Description

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.

Decoration Method Compatibility

How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.

Method Compatible Notes
DTF Transfer Most forgiving method across all 12 colours including Charcoal Heather 60/40; cotton-dominant body bonds cleanly at standard press settings; soft low-bulk film moves with the lightweight 5.2 oz jersey
Screen Print (Plastisol) Clean on 100% cotton solids and Ash with no migration concern; on Light Steel 90/10 run a light poly-block; on Charcoal Heather 60/40 use a low-bleed poly-blocking underbase and moderate cure temp to control migration
DTG Cotton solids and Ash give sharpest result; white underbase on navy, black, cardinal and deep grounds; Light Steel 90/10 pretreats well; Charcoal Heather 60/40 mutes slightly, test pretreat pass recommended
Embroidery Midweight 5.2 oz jersey supports left-chest logo at moderate stitch count over tear-away backing; cut-away backing for sleeve or back placements; keep design clear of Champion C cuff logo
Vinyl / HTV Presses cleanly at standard HTV settings on cotton solids; use a lower temp and test on Charcoal Heather 60/40; keep application clear of the C cuff logo and rib knit cuff section
Screen Print (Water-based / Discharge) Ash (99/1) and solids discharge nearly fully; Light Steel (90/10) gives a partial result; Charcoal Heather (60/40) will not fully discharge on the polyester content, leaving a muted faded tone rather than a true soft-hand discharge
Sublimation Cotton and cotton-dominant blends do not hold sublimation dye; only Charcoal Heather at 60/40 has meaningful poly content but the cotton present limits colour saturation; not a sublimation substrate

Fabric Blend by Color Group

Not all colorways share the same fabric composition. Check the blend before ordering for decoration jobs where substrate matters.

Color Group Blend Print Consideration
Cotton solids (Black, White, Navy, Red, Cardinal, Athletic Royal, Royal, Orange, Dark Green) 100% US-grown cotton Clean cotton substrate; full discharge and DTG without poly-block; no migration risk on screen print
Ash 99/1 cotton/polyester Effectively cotton for all decoration purposes; discharge performs nearly fully; no poly-block needed for screen print
Light Steel 90/10 cotton/polyester Close to cotton; light poly-block on screen print recommended; DTG pretreats well; discharge is partial
Charcoal Heather 60/40 cotton/polyester Poly-majority: use low-bleed poly-blocking underbase on screen prints, moderate cure temp; DTF is the cleanest route to skip the underbase step; discharge not reliable

Frequently Asked Questions

The Champion CC8C is a 5.2 oz Heritage jersey at 20 singles. Most solid colours are 100% US-grown cotton. Ash is 99/1 cotton/polyester, Light Steel is 90/10 cotton/polyester, and Charcoal Heather is 60/40 cotton/polyester. The garment has a tag-free neck label, taped crewneck, rib knit cuffs, a double-needle bottom hem, and an embroidered Champion C logo at the left cuff. Sizes run S to 3XL.
Yes. For DTF, the cotton-dominant body bonds cleanly at standard press settings across all 12 colours, making it the most forgiving route on a mixed-colour run. For screen printing, cotton solids take plastisol with no migration concern. Charcoal Heather at 60/40 cotton/polyester requires a low-bleed poly-blocking underbase and a lower cure temperature to control dye migration. On Dark and Cardinal grounds, run a white underbase regardless of blend.
The Champion CC8C carries an embroidered C logo at the left cuff. Keep decorated artwork clear of the cuff logo zone and the rib knit cuff section itself. Full-front prints sit centred on the chest and are unaffected by the cuff mark. Sleeve prints should be planned above the cuff C to avoid overlap. The C logo and long-sleeve Heritage label are a selling point on retail and resale programs, not a limitation.
Yes, on the cotton-solid and near-cotton colours. The 100% US-grown cotton solids and Ash (99/1) give the sharpest and most vibrant DTG result. Apply a white underbase on Navy, Black, Cardinal, and the other deep grounds. Light Steel at 90/10 pretreats well and reads clean. Charcoal Heather at 60/40 polyester will mute DTG output slightly; run a test pretreat pass on that colour before a full production run.
The Champion CC8C is 5.2 oz Heritage cotton with the embroidered Champion C cuff logo and a branded Heritage label, which commands a higher retail price on school, campus bookstore, and resale programs where the end customer values the brand. The Gildan G540 is an unbranded 5.3 oz long-sleeve cotton tee at a lower unit cost, which wins on pure print substrate economics when the brand mark is not part of the sell-through. Choose CC8C when the Champion name is part of the product; choose the G540 when it is not.
Yes. TheClothingSpace stocks the Champion CC8C at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style. It is available by the piece or the case, and pricing improves on multi-case and program orders. Stocked colours ship fast within the US, which matters on school-year deadlines and sports season runs that need quick turnaround on a branded long-sleeve.
