Gildan 8800 vs Team 365 TT51 — Value vs Performance

• Fabric: The 8800 is 50/50 cotton/poly jersey; the TT51 is 100% polyester piqué — different feel and performance
• Weight: The 8800 is 5.6 oz (heavier, more substantial); the TT51 is 4.1 oz (lighter, more breathable)
• Moisture management: Both wick moisture, but the TT51 also adds antimicrobial and snag-resistant properties
• Price: The 8800 is significantly more affordable — the best value polo for large team orders
• Feel: The 8800's cotton content gives it a softer, more traditional polo feel; the TT51 feels more athletic/technical
• Recommendation: Choose the 8800 for budget-friendly team and staff polos. Choose the TT51 when you need maximum performance features for active or outdoor use.

Best Decoration Methods for the Gildan 8800

• Embroidery — the #1 choice for custom polos. Left-chest logo embroidery is the classic placement. The smooth jersey fabric provides an excellent base for detailed stitching without puckering.
• Screen Printing — works well for full back prints and larger designs. The smooth jersey surface produces clean, vibrant results.
• DTF (Direct-to-Film) — excellent for full-colour logos on any colour polo.
• Heat Transfer / Vinyl — clean results for names, titles, and simple logos.
