On the leg panel — left leg or right leg, front or back, four real placements. You can also print BOTH legs at once for a $6.99 upcharge.

One clear mark on the lower leg panel: logos, mascots, numbers, or short bold text. Busy full-scene graphics get lost at shorts size — if it works on a hat, it works on shorts.

Inseam is measured from the crotch seam to the hem along the inner leg, and athletic shorts commonly range from about 5 to 9 inches. A 5 to 7 inch inseam gives a modern, athletic look with full range of motion, while 9 inches is the classic above-the-knee fit most unisex adult shorts use. The easiest method is to measure a pair you already love from crotch seam to hem and match that number when you order.

Most custom athletic shorts are built on polyester or poly-spandex performance blends, because polyester takes vibrant prints and handles sweat far better than cotton. Blends in the range of 82 to 96 percent polyester with spandex or elastane added give four-way stretch and an elastic waistband keeps the fit comfortable during activity. That synthetic base is also why printed shorts dry quickly and resist wrinkles compared to cotton bottoms.

Check three numbers on the size chart, not just one: waist, inseam, and rise, which is the distance from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband. Two pairs of shorts with identical waist sizes can fit completely differently if the rise or inseam differs. If you are between sizes on a fitted athletic style, sizing up is usually the safer call, since elastic waistbands forgive a little extra room better than they forgive being too snug.

Turn them inside out and wash cold, then hang dry or tumble on low — heat is the main enemy of any printed graphic. Washing inside out protects the print surface from friction against other garments in the drum, which is the single biggest factor in long-term print life. Skip fabric softener and ironing directly over the graphic, and the design will stay sharp through regular rotation.

Quality custom shorts on a performance polyester base handle gym sessions, runs, and pickup games just fine, since the print is bonded into or onto the fabric rather than sitting as a stiff patch. The things that matter for training are the same as any athletic short: a secure waistband, an inseam that will not restrict your stride, and moisture-friendly fabric. Plenty of buyers order one custom pair for the gym specifically so their design shows up where team gear normally would.
