Track uniforms buying guide: how to choose for your team

To buy track uniforms for a team, start with a legal top and bottom for every athlete, then plan a school-issued or school-approved look, confirm uniform and undergarment rules, and send a roster with sizes for a quote. Shop custom track uniforms for men's and adult school and club teams, or women's track and field uniforms for women's teams. If you are outfitting a youth team, send your roster through the contact form or the roster form for a quote.

Step 1: Men's or women's?

ProPlayer keeps custom track uniforms in two collections, so start with the roster you are outfitting.

  • Men's and adult school and club teams. Use custom track uniforms. It compares Badger, Adidas Mirunning and Team 19 packages, including singlet, short-sleeve and suit sets, plus Sprint, Vertical and Rapid Race packages.
  • Women's teams. Use women's track and field uniforms. It compares Badger Stride and C2, Adidas Mirunning and Team 19 singlet, short-sleeve and suit sets.

There is not a separate youth track uniform collection on the site. For a youth roster, use the contact or roster form and include ages and sizes so we can prepare a quote.

Step 2: Tops, bottoms, stock and custom

Most teams start with a singlet or short-sleeve top and a matching bottom. Live packages include singlet packages, short-sleeve packages (including T19 and Mirunning SS) and suit sets. The exact pieces in each package are listed on the package page, so confirm the top and bottom style before you approve the order.

For the bottom, high school rules allow loose-fitting boxer-type shorts or compression-style bottoms for boys and girls. Closed-leg briefs are acceptable for girls. French or high-cut apparel may not be worn in place of the uniform bottom. Choose a bottom your athletes will actually wear in competition, and confirm the style with your state association if you are unsure.

Stock styles start from an existing design, including Badger, Team 19, Sprint, Vertical, Rapid Race and Mirunning packages. If you want a fully custom or sublimated look, compare the packages and ask for a quote on what is available for your team.

Fabric, fit and NFHS uniform rules

High school track and field follows NFHS uniform rules. Confirm the current book and any state-association adoption for your season before you approve art. Club meets may use a different rule book.

  • School-issued or school-approved. The competitor's uniform must be school-issued or school-approved, and worn as the manufacturer intended. Each competitor must wear a full-length track top and track bottom, or a one-piece uniform. A school-issued or school-approved outer garment becomes the official uniform when it is worn.
  • Fit of the top and bottom. The top must not be knotted, and bare midriff tops are not permitted. The top must hang below or be tucked into the waistband of the bottom when the competitor is standing upright. The waistband of the bottom must be worn above the hips. Size the uniform so it still meets that standard in a race or field event.
  • Visible undergarments. Any visible garment worn underneath the uniform top and/or bottom is a foundation garment. Foundation garments are not subject to logo, trademark, reference or color restrictions.
  • Relays and identification. When numbers are used, each competitor must wear an assigned, unaltered contestant number. The top, bottom or one-piece uniform may include the school name, school logo, school nickname and/or the competitor's name. All relay (and cross country) team members must wear uniforms that clearly indicate, through predominant color, school logo and the color combination of all outer garments, that they are from the same team.

Sizing, spring timeline and a budget checklist

You do not need a finished design to start a quote, but a complete brief helps. Include the team name; whether the roster is men's/adult, women's or youth; the package you like (singlet, short-sleeve or suit; stock or custom); the bottom style; colors, logo, names and numbers; and a roster with sizes. Record each athlete's size carefully, especially if younger athletes will wear youth sizes.

Start before the spring season so you have time to collect sizes, approve art, confirm school-issued uniform rules and leave room for late roster changes. Ask for the timing that applies to your order when you request the quote. When you budget, plan for a top and a legal bottom for each athlete, decoration (names, numbers and a logo), a one-piece or suit option if that is the look you want, and a few extras if you want late adds or replacements covered.
