Sense2 supplies finished custom branded shorts for teams, clubs and corporate sport programs. The range covers sublimated active shorts for men, women and youth, plus pique gym shorts that take a one-colour silkscreen print or embroidery. Sublimation means the design sits in the fabric rather than on top of it, so full-colour artwork, gradients and player names are all workable. Sizing runs from youth through to extended adult grades, with half-waist and length charts published for the sport-specific models. Send your artwork, approve the digital proof, and the shorts arrive ready to wear.

How to choose
Match the shorts to the activity and wearer. The range includes sport-specific cuts alongside general active and gym styles. A rugby short and a tennis short do different jobs; compare the cut, fabric and intended movement rather than choosing by colour alone. Youth mesh shorts provide a separate option for junior teams.
Check the size information for the exact model. Sport-specific styles publish waist and length measurements; where a chart is not listed, ask for one before collecting sizes. Do not assume that the same size label fits identically across garments. For sublimated styles, use the artwork template and agree the placement of logos, names and numbers. On other models, confirm the available print or embroidery area. Send the quantity, size breakdown and event date with your request, then approve the digital proof. Setup and freight are quoted separately.

Mens AFL Club Shorts Sublimated DesignWhat is the minimum order for custom branded shorts?
Minimums start at 50 units in this range; each product states its own minimum order. Unit price depends on quantity, so ask for a stepped quote across the quantities you are weighing up.
How can custom branded shorts be branded with a logo?
The branding methods listed across this range are sublimation print and embroidery. Sense2 supplies the finished item with your branding applied as one order; the print area and positions are stated on each product page, and you approve an artwork proof before production starts.
How long does production take for custom branded shorts?
Between 2–3 weeks from artwork approval, depending on the product — each product page states its own production window. Freight time depends on your destination and is quoted with the order.
Can I order a sample of Custom Branded Shorts before placing a full order?
Yes — samples are available. Samples are charged at cost plus freight up front, and we credit the sample cost back on orders of 100+ units (and for returning customers) — so the sample effectively costs nothing once you order. Branded pre-production samples are also available with a setup fee that's credited back on the full order.
Does the Best Price Guarantee apply to custom branded shorts?
Yes. If you show Sense2 an Australian competitor's advertised price for an identical product, we verify it and match it — the guarantee covers promotional merchandise resellers operating in Australia and excludes clearance, seconds and manufacturer pricing. Details are in our terms.
Can I order custom branded shorts in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or elsewhere in Australia?
Yes — Sense2 supplies custom branded shorts Australia-wide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Gold Coast and Hobart, with dispatch from our production centres and freight quoted for your destination on each order.

What are custom branded shorts typically used for?
Most of this range is chosen for careers fairs and candidate packs. Tell Sense2 the occasion, the recipients and the quantity and we will point you to the right pieces for the brief.
How do I choose between sublimated shorts and the pique gym shorts?
Choose sublimation when you need colour, numbers or names across the garment; it suits team kits and full club designs. Choose the pique gym shorts when your logo is a single colour or works as embroidery and you want a cleaner, more corporate look. The printing method follows the garment, so pick the product first and the branding follows.
What artwork constraints apply?
Sublimated models must be built to the supplied template, which defines the print area for that specific cut. Pique gym shorts take a one-colour silkscreen print or embroidery, so gradients and photographic detail are off the table there. Supply vector artwork where possible and let the Sense2 team flag any resolution or colour issues before the proof stage.
What are the minimums and how does quoting work?
Minimums and pricing are confirmed through a quote rather than listed here, because they vary by model, decoration method and order size. Send your garment choice, artwork and rough quantity, and Sense2 returns pricing that covers the product and decoration. Setup charges and freight are quoted separately, so ask for those lines up front rather than assuming they are included.
How should I plan timing for a season or event?
Work back from the date the shorts are actually needed on bodies, such as round one or event day, and add room for artwork revisions and proof approval. Production only starts once you approve the digital proof, so a slow sign-off is the most common cause of delay. Ask Sense2 about current turnaround when you request the quote, since it varies with the model and order size.
What should I check about fabric and fit before ordering?
Read the chart for the exact garment rather than transferring sizes between styles. Sport-specific models publish waist and length measurements; ask for sizing where a chart is not listed. Fabric also varies by product, so confirm composition and request the selected garment’s care instructions before ordering.
How does the digital proof and ordering process work?
You submit artwork against the template for your chosen model, then Sense2 prepares a digital proof showing placement and colour. Production begins only after you approve that proof in writing, so review it carefully for spelling on names and numbers. Once approved, changes are difficult, so treat the proof as the final checkpoint between your artwork and the finished shorts.
Waistband pulled, logo read mid-warm-up
Watch a team warm up and the shorts do quiet work. Someone bends to stretch, and the club crest on the leg turns to face the sideline. Someone tucks a ball under one arm, and the sponsor strip along the hem catches the coach's eye. The fabric folds, twists and sweats, and the sublimated colour stays part of the weave rather than sitting on top of it. This is the difference between printed and sublimated: the design is in the material. By the end of the session the shorts have been sat on, dragged across turf and stuffed in a bag, and the identity on them has been read a dozen times by people who did not realise they were looking.
