Custom Polo Buying Guide.
Updated November 2026
The polo is the most worn piece in most company programs. Here is how to choose one people reach for.
Performance or cotton
Performance polos made from polyester blends wick moisture and dry fast, a real advantage in the Arizona heat and on the golf course. Cotton pique has a classic, softer feel for office and indoor wear.
Fit
Offer both men's and women's cuts where you can. A tailored fit reads sharper on sales and client facing teams.
Color
Neutral and darker colors hide wear and suit most brands. Light colors stay cooler outdoors. Sublimation needs white or light polyester.
Logo placement
Left chest is standard. Sleeve and back yoke placements work well for secondary marks or sponsor logos.
Embroidery or sublimation
Embroidery gives a premium, textured logo. Sublimation prints an all over pattern into the fabric. Many of our best polos combine both.

Questions, answered.
Will embroidery pucker on a thin performance polo?
Not when it is digitized for the fabric. We adjust density and backing so the logo lies flat.
Is there a minimum order?
No. There are no minimums, so you can order one polo to check the fit or polos for every team. Pricing depends on the polo, the quantity, and the decoration method.
