Custom Athletic Orange Soccer Shorts - Fade Resistant Print

Orange Soccer Shorts with Charcoal Gradient - Full-Dye Sublimation, Made to Order

These orange soccer shorts ship as 1 pair of shorts per player, printed across 3 zones: the right-leg player number, the gradient fade field, and the straight hem stripe. The gradient runs from Charcoal at the elastic waistband down to Athletic Orange at the hem, with a clean white stripe finishing the bottom edge. Sizes cover 11 options from YS through 3XL, so your full roster fits into one order. The orange drawcord threads through the waistband and ties at the front, giving every player a secure fit without extra hardware. These are match-cut shorts, built for matchday and training rotation in equal measure. You get 1 pair of shorts per roster slot, nothing more, nothing else.

Garment Construction Details for Soccer Shorts Sublimation

The waistband is a wide elastic band with an internal drawcord channel. That drawcord is Athletic Orange, matching the lower half of the gradient, which keeps the color story consistent from top to bottom. The hem carries a straight cut with a white contrast stripe sitting just above the edge. That white stripe is approximately 1 inch wide and runs the full circumference of each leg opening. The side seams are double-stitched along the full length of the short, from waistband to hem, which holds the athletic cut in place through sprints and lateral movements on the pitch. The gradient itself is not a panel insert. It is printed directly into the fabric as a continuous field, so there is no seam breaking the color transition between Charcoal and Athletic Orange. That matters when your player number sits in the gradient zone, because the number reads against a smooth color shift rather than a fabric line.

Print Process Behind These Soccer Shorts with Player Numbers

Full-dye sublimation is the print method on every pair. Sublimation works by converting dye into a gas under heat and pressure, then bonding that gas directly into the polyester fibers at the molecular level. The color sits inside the fabric, not on top of it. That's why it won't crack, peel, or fade after a full season of weekly washes and pitch sessions. The player number on the right leg prints through the same sublimation process as the gradient field, so the number and the background age at the exact same rate. There's no layer sitting on top of a different layer. The white outline on the number is sublimated too, not a separate applique. For these custom soccer shorts, color accuracy across the gradient is controlled by the sublimation file, so the Charcoal-to-Orange transition matches your approved artwork precisely.

Customization Inputs for Numbered Soccer Shorts

You supply 4 pieces of information per player: the player number, any name or surname you want printed, your club crest file, and any sponsor logo. K2 places the player number on the right leg in the orange gradient zone, sized to sit clearly within the lower third of the short. Your crest prints on the left hip if you supply the file. Sponsor logos place on the left leg panel or the back waistband area depending on your layout preference. Send your crest as a vector file or a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background. K2's art team converts your inputs into a production-ready sublimation file and sends you a proof before printing starts. Nothing goes to the press without your sign-off. These are bulk custom soccer shorts built to your roster list, so you submit one size-and-number spreadsheet and K2 handles the per-player sorting. Visit the get a quote page to start your order.

Fit and Sizing for Soccer Shorts with Elastic Waistband

The athletic cut sits at mid-thigh. These aren't baggy training shorts and they're not compression-tight. They sit where a standard match short sits, with enough room through the hip and thigh for full sprint mechanics. The elastic waistband with the orange drawcord keeps the short locked in place without a rigid waistband that digs in. Your roster sizing runs across 11 options: YS, YM, YL, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL. Submit your full roster size list with your order and K2 grades each pair to the correct size. There's no minimum per size, so a squad with 3 players in YS and 2 in 2XL gets exactly those quantities. These grey soccer shorts and orange soccer shorts suit club leagues, school teams, and tournament rosters equally well.
