Stock Wrestling Singlets Part III

So far, when it comes to stock wrestling singlets I've touched on Brute, Adidas and Cliff Keen. But I didn't want to leave ASICS out of the stock wrestling singlet mix, so here are a couple of stock singlet options from this provider of quality wrestling gear.

ASICS Solid High Cut Nylon and Spandex Wrestling Singlet

If you are looking for simplicity plus quality in your wrestling singlet, then the ASICS Solid High Cut Wrestling Singlet fits the bill nicely. The heavy weight nylon and spandex material provides excellent muscle support, and ASICS also uses a flat seam stitching process that reduces the material bulking up and enhances the fit. With gripper elastic on the leg openings, this is one of those wrestling singlets that hold firmly in place during your toughest matches.

ASICS Take Down Nylon and Lycra Multiple Panel Wrestling Singlet

The great wrestling gear doesn't stop there, and the ASICS Take Down Wrestling Singlet ups the quality just a bit more. Made from a combination of Nylon and Lycra fabric, this is a high compression wrestling singlet that also provides great muscle support. Unlike the Solid High Cut Singlet which is made up of one material piece, this features multiple panel construction with allows for a greater anatomical fit due to the precise seam positioning in key areas.

Again, these are both perfect for screen printing the name of your school team. But make sure you go with a company who knows that only certain ink types will adhere to the various singlet materials different companies use. Worldwide Sport Supply specializes in custom printing on wrestling singlets, and even has a bunch of wrestling templates and team mascots to help you get your design off the ground. You can browse their Big Book of wrestling to choose the perfect singlet, then head on over to their site to get the printing process underway!

Stock Wrestling Singlets Part II

Sometimes buying a stock wrestling singlet online can be daunting due to the the amount of options available from which to choose. It may simply come down to which brand you prefer as a provider of your wrestling gear. Here are a few stock wrestling singlets from some of the best names in the industry.

Brute Okie Stock Wrestling Singlet

The Brute Okie Stock Wrestling Singlet is made from Toughflex Lycra fabric and comes at an attractive price. This wrestling singlet is made in a high cut, jam length style with contrasting side panels allowing for 10 color combinations. With hemmed legs and gripper elastic to hold material in place you'll find this offering from Brute to be a very solid singlet option.

Adidas Lehigh Reversible Stock Wrestling Singlet

Adidas also knows how to make great wrestling gear, so how about they give you two options in one stock singlet? The Adidas Lehigh Reversible Wrestling Singlet is ideal for the Freestyle Wrestling Season. The quad-length legs are made to fit snug without the need for a gripper elastic, and the Toughtex Lycra fabric is reversible giving you both red and blue colored singlets in one item.

As with most stock singlet options, these are perfect for custom printing of your team names or team mascots. Worldwide Sport Supply is a great place to pick up your wrestling singlets AND get your screen printing done all in one place. Have a look at their online catalog, the Big Book of wrestling and browse through both stock singlet and sublimated wrestling singlet options.

Stock Wrestling Singlets Part 1

There are tons of stock wrestling singlets to choose from. Let's try to narrow down the options a bit so you can find the wrestling gear that is right for you.

Cliff Keen The Relentless Lycra Wrestling Singlet

The first stock wrestling singlet I want to talk about is from Cliff Keen. The Relentless Wrestling Singlet is made of Lycra fabric with rib-knit neck and arm trim, and gripper elastic in the legs to keep the material in place when you are in action. With a simple look, this wrestling singlet comes in one of 8 solid colors and has a price point that is hard to beat.

Adidas T8 Lycra Wrestling Singlet

A good higher-end stock singlet is the Adidas T8 Wrestling Singlet. Made with the competitive wrestler in mind, the durable Toughtex Lycra fabric has 3 stripe sublimated side panels and comes in one of 4 color options. The legs of this sublimated wrestling singlet fit snug without any gripper elastic, this removes the problem of pinching that can sometimes occurs. Adidas knows their wrestling singlets so this is for sure an excellent product from a well respected company.


Both of these are perfect for screen printing or custom printing of team names and team mascots. You can find these stock singlet options and more at Worldwide Sport Supply. Check out their online Big Book of wrestling catalog for tons of wrestling singlet choices.

Stock vs. Custom Wrestling Singlets - Part II

When it comes to stock wrestling singlets versus custom wrestling singlets I think most of the confusion comes about from the terms that are used to describe the process of screen printing that goes on them. Sometimes, the process is called custom printing or singlet customization, but don't confuse the process with the item.

A custom wrestling singlet is an ITEM where the full design can be altered. These can also be referred to as a sublimated wrestling singlet because the ink for the design is dyed into the material through a PROCESS called sublimation. Even the base color of the wrestling singlet is a dyed color that can be altered to suit a customer specification. The Brute Custom Sublimated Wrestling Singlet series falls under this category.

A stock wrestling singlet is an ITEM where the base design can't be altered. A stock singlet will come in specific color options and the style often includes designed seams in the form of panels or stripes that cannot be altered. However, the PROCESS of custom printing can still be done in the open areas on these wrestling singlets with team names and team mascots.

A stock wrestling singlet is just as the name implies, many are ordered by a company and are kept in stock for customers to purchase. But these can still be customized through the screen printing process.

A custom wrestling singlet isn't ordered by a company until a customer places an order for them. Only the specific amount the customer requests are ordered, and the design can be altered to meet the customer's specifications.

So by remembering what is an ITEM versus a PROCESSES you can see why the State Wrestling Singlet designs from Brute are considered a stock singlet ITEM. The design can't be altered to a specific customer request. The PROCESS to print them was sublimation, but the ITEM itself is considered stock.

Confusing, I know, but that is why you should use a company like Worldwide Sport Supply when you need to get your wrestling gear. They have people to help you through these sometimes complicated processes. Their online Big Book of wrestling digital catalog is a great place to start, the give them a call when you are ready to order.

Stock vs. Custom Wreslting Singlet - Part I

Recently I have talked about a number of United States Wrestling singlet designs, and before that it was International Wrestling Singlets, but both of these have something in common, they are stock wrestling singlet options. So of course a lot of people ask what is the difference between stock wrestling singlets and a custom wrestling singlet? Let's see if I can explain...

A stock singlet, like the State Wrestling Singlet designs from previous posts, are mass produced with the design completed. It is like buying a shirt at the store, you get what you see. So for example, the Brute Pennsylvania State Wrestling Singlet design has not been custom made for a specific school and is available for anyone to order.

In contrast, a custom wrestling singlet is one where the design can be altered allowing you to customize your own wrestling singlet look. You can often provide your own artwork or have it designed to your specifications. Where as, if you wish, you can buy just one stock wrestling singlet, custom wrestling singlets often require a minimum order of multiple pieces since the art is specific to the customer.

But here is where people get confused. SOME stock singlets can also be personalized. You can buy some wrestling singlets from Adidas, ASICS or Brute that are blank and perfect for screen printing. The design of the singlet itself can't be altered, but custom printing can be placed into certain open areas.

It can get even more confusing since there is a difference between a sublimated wrestling singlet versus a screen printed one, but I'll save that for my next post.

If you are in the market for a lycra wrestling singlet or any other wrestling gear, click over to Worldwide Sport Supply and their online catalog, the Big Book of wrestling. Their site is divided up into wrestling singlet categories to help make the processes a lot easier.

Utah United States Sublimated Wrestling Singlet

I have reached the end of my United States Wrestling singlet series of posts, and what a long journey it has been. We shall end this tour with a wrestling singlet that stops at the 45th state in the union, Utah! Known as one of the four corner states (because Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah all meet at one corner point) almost 80% of the state's population live in and around the State Capital of Salt Lake City. That means a huge amount of the state is nearly devoid of people, which has made this a must-go-to destination for outdoor recreation!

Even though Utah has famous cultural events such as the Sundance Film Festival, it is almost universally know for it's landscape and breath taking scenery. With five National Parks, countless ski resorts and amazing mountains and forest areas it is easy to see why. And really, what better way to display rugged toughness and strength on a State Wrestling Singlet than to highlight the desert majesty of the canyons and arches of Monument Valley. Brute certainly struck gold with that idea.

Brute Utah Sublimated State Wrestling Singlet

This stock wrestling singlet shows one of the natural arches against a setting sun, the red sandstone a brilliant contrast against the darkening blue sky across the chest. On the left leg of this sublimated wrestling singlet, a clear symbolic warning to your opponents in the form of a deadly diamondback rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike!

The back of this lycra wrestling singlet continues the theme with desolate desert and epic rock formations stretching off into the distance. Down the side panel, the rattlesnake theme continues with the diamondback pattern repeating in a series of graphic shapes the length of the seam.

With so many wrestling singlets to choose from, you should check out Worldwide Sport Supply so you can compare styles and options. Check out all of their wrestling gear in their book of wrestling online catalog!

Pennsylvania State Wrestling Singlet

The United States Wrestling singlet's just keep coming, and some of these stock wrestling singlet designs are really amazing to see. The Pennsylvania State Wrestling Singlet is another example of the excellent artwork and level of intricacy that can be achieved on a sublimated wrestling singlet.

Pennsylvania State Sublimated Wrestling Singlet

The front of this wrestling singlet features the Flag of Pennsylvania across the center under an arched Pennsylvania logo. Under a purple sky sits a rural farm with highly detailed corn fields stretching across the front of both legs. In the background of this State Wrestling Singlet is subtle, faded writing that becomes clearer as we go around to the back side.

On the back of this lycra wrestling singlet a state outline with a star on the capital of Harrisburg sits between the shoulder blades. Under this state, the text is revealed to be the historic United States Declaration of Independence with the famous John Hancock signature boldly displayed in the lower left. However, the most prominent feature is a gigantic train engine filling the right back to commemorate the Pennsylvania Railroad, which was at one time the largest publily traded corporation in the world!

This is another great Brute singlet that you can get at Worldwide Sport Supply, a pretty darn good source for all the wrestling gear you could need. And check out their big book of wrestling online catalog, and maybe save a few trees in the process.

Illinois State Wrestling Singlet

The next United States Wrestling singlet that I would like to highlight comes to us via America's Heartland. The Illinois State Wrestling Singlet just might be the best looking wrestling singlet I've covered so far. I know that is a matter of opinion, but Brute certainly did a great job of packing in an amazing amount of detail regarding our 21st state.

Brute Illinois State Sublimated Wrestling Singlet

This wrestling singlet prominently features an historic portrait of Abraham Lincoln across the front right under the Illinois chest logo. Our 16th President had made his home here for 17 years before going on to serve the nation in it's highest position. The famous Sears Tower rises up the left side of this sublimated wrestling singlet while the Chicago skyline wraps around to the back left leg.

On the back right leg is the famous Wrigley Field baseball stadium, home to the Chicago Cubs. Just above this sits the majestic Illinois State Seal and a nighttime view of Chicago from the Lake Michigan shore. The state outline rests between the shoulder blades of this stock wrestling singlet over a faded map of Illinois counties.

This is a State Wrestling Singlet that really captures the icons of Illinois with an artistic and eye catching style. You can get this lycra wrestling singlet from Worldwide Sport Supply. They are a great source for all of your wrestling gear. Check out their online big book of wrestling catalog for even more items!
