Designing Fight Shorts That Stand Out
Custom fight shorts are one of the most popular products in MMA apparel. These expert tips will help you create shorts that look great and perform even better.
Understanding Fight Short Construction
- 4-way stretch polyester or microfiber fabric
- Split-side panels for maximum leg mobility
- Reinforced stitching at stress points
- Secure waistband with velcro and drawstring closure
Design Principles
Keep It Bold
Fight shorts are seen from a distance. Bold designs with high contrast read well from far away.
Consider the Silhouette
Use the side panels, waistband, and leg openings as natural design zones.
Brand Placement
Logo on left leg, waistband center, and back waistband. Keep it clean and professional.
Color Psychology
Black and red convey power. Blue and white suggest discipline. Gold and black project premium quality.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overcrowding the design
- Using low-resolution images
- Ignoring seam lines in the design layout
- Not ordering samples before bulk production
