Gildan® Heavy Cotton 3/4-Sleeve Raglan T-Shirt. 5700

Custom Printed Gildan 5700 Heavy Cotton 3/4-Sleeve Raglan T-Shirt

The Gildan 5700 is a 5.3-ounce, 100% cotton raglan T-shirt with 3/4-length sleeves, a contrast-color set-in collar and a classic fit tubular body. Teams and leagues order it printed because it looks like a baseball shirt rather than a promotional tee - youth sports, adult leagues, alumni events, bar and restaurant crews. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery prints and embroiders it in-house at our Houston, TX facility, decorating apparel since 1979.

DTF (direct-to-film) printing is the workhorse method on this shirt, handling rosters, player names and numbers, and full team logos alike with no minimum order, and the contrast sleeves change how you design: a large front print in the sleeve color ties the shirt together, which is why team names and numbers work so well on this style. The tubular body has no side seams to interrupt a wide print. Left chest embroidery is available too, for a more finished team crest, at a 6-piece minimum.

• 9 two-tone color combinations, S through 3XL

Why Buyers Pick It

This is the shirt that stops a team looking like a promotion. Two-tone raglan sleeves and a contrast collar are the visual shorthand for a ball club, and the nine combinations - Grey with Navy, Red, Royal or Black, White with Heliconia, Black, Navy or Red - are all classic sports pairings. It photographs well, it dates slowly, and parents actually keep it after the season. If you have been printing standard tees for a league and they end up in the donation bin, switch to this.

Sizing

Sizes run S through 3XL, extended 2XL and 3XL included on the same order. The body is a classic fit tubular cut with 3/4 raglan sleeves, which run longer than a standard sleeve - order true to size for a relaxed fit. Mix sizes freely: DTF-printed shirts have no minimum, so a league order with one small, fourteen mediums and two 3XLs is priced the same way as any other; embroidered shirts need at least 6 pieces total, mixable the same way. Browse more in custom T-shirts or add matching embroidered caps for the coaching staff.

How to Order

DTF printing has no minimum on this shirt - order a single piece if that is all you need, or a few hundred for a full staff rollout, with the price per piece the only thing that changes. Embroidery requires a 6-piece minimum. Send your logo in any format you have and we return a free digital mockup showing size, placement and ink or thread colors. Nothing goes to production until you approve it. Production runs 7-10 business days from proof approval, rush is available on request, and ground shipping is free on most orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are custom Gildan 5700 raglan T-shirts?
They are 5.3-ounce, 100% cotton 3/4-sleeve raglan tees with contrast sleeves and collar, decorated with your design by Wholesale Caps and Embroidery. We are a decorator - DTF printing and embroidery are done in our own Houston, TX facility, as they have been since 1979.

Is there a minimum order on the 5700?
DTF printing has no minimum - you can order one piece: a single shirt for a sample, a replacement for a new hire, or one shirt to check the fit before you commit to a size run. Embroidery is different: it requires a 6-piece minimum. The only other exception in our catalog is headwear: embroidered caps carry a 12-cap minimum.

How do the raglan sleeves affect sizing?
The 3/4 raglan sleeve runs to mid-forearm and the shoulder seam angles from the collar rather than sitting on the shoulder point, which gives more room through the arm. The body is a classic fit tubular cut. Sizes are S through 3XL and mix freely on one order - no minimum on DTF, 6-piece minimum on embroidery.

Can you print player names and numbers?
Yes. Names and numbers vary shirt to shirt, so we use DTF printing for those - no new screen or setup per player, and the numbers stay flexible and crack-resistant. The team name or sponsor logo on the front usually runs the same way, or as embroidery for a more finished crest look. Every placement is shown on the free digital mockup before production.

Do you keep my artwork on file for reorders?
Yes. Once your logo is digitized for embroidery or set up as a DTF file, we keep it on file at our Houston facility. Reorders skip setup entirely - you tell us the style, colors and size run, and we print from the file we already have. That keeps a second run cheaper and keeps your logo identical from the first shirt to the five hundredth.

Can the same logo go on other styles?
Yes, and it is a common request. Leagues typically run raglans for players and a plain tee for volunteers off the same team logo. Mixing categories is fine on one order too - shirts, polos and embroidered caps can all carry the same mark. Just note that DTF-printed shirts have no minimum and can be ordered one at a time, embroidered shirts need at least 6 pieces, and caps are ordered in multiples of 12.

How long does production take?
Production is 7-10 business days from the moment you approve the digital mockup, and ground shipping on most orders is free. Rush production is available on request - tell us your event date when you send the artwork and we will confirm what is possible before you pay. Reorders from artwork already on file usually move faster because there is no setup step.
