Gildan
Youth Light Cotton T-Shirt
Looking for a comfortable, affordable shirt your kids can wear at school, sports or a weekend event? The Gildan 3000B Youth Light Cotton T‑shirt gives you a soft‑hand feel and a modern classic fit that holds up wash after wash. Made from a 100 % cotton blend that balances breathability with a little stretch, the tee weighs just 4‑4.9 oz, so it drapes nicely without feeling heavy. With 47 vibrant color choices and sizes from XS to XL, you can match any team or brand palette. All three of our decoration options—screen printing, direct‑to‑film (DTF) and dye‑sublimation—work great on this fabric, and because we offer low minimums you can order a small batch for a club or a larger run for a school fundraiser; screen‑printed orders start at 24 pieces. The tear‑away label keeps the shirt comfortable for active youths, and the reinforced rib collar adds durability. Whether you’re outfitting a youth sports league, a school club, or creating a custom merch line, this shirt delivers quality, style, and the flexibility you need.
Our guarantee: we stand behind our print quality — a printing or adhesion defect, we’ll remake it or refund you. We print exactly what you approve, so please check spelling and artwork on your proof before you sign off.
