The backbone of the Badger lineup is the B-Core fabric system. At 3.5 oz. of 100% polyester, it's lightweight enough to keep athletes cool but durable enough for a full season of hard use. Crucially, it's built with both moisture management and antimicrobial treatment, meaning it wicks sweat and resists odor, which matters when you're equipping a team that practices every day. The 4120 Men's B-Core Sport Shoulders Tee is a great entry point into the lineup: the paneled shoulder construction is engineered specifically to maximize range of motion, so athletes aren't fighting their shirt when they're reaching, throwing, or swinging. Need a hooded version for cooler weather or outdoor practice? The 4105 B-Core Hooded Long Sleeve Tee brings all the same performance construction with added coverage, and there's a 2105 Youth version and a 2104 Youth B-Core Long Sleeve for programs that need to kit out younger athletes too.
Shorts, Tanks & Layering Options
Badger's Pro Mesh shorts stand out. The 7207 Pro Mesh 7" Shorts and the 7219 offer open-knit mesh construction that keeps airflow high and weight low — exactly what you want for practice uniforms and game-day bottoms. The 9" version adds pockets, which is a small but often-appreciated detail for athletes who need somewhere to stash a phone or keys during warm-ups.
On the women's side, the 4166 Women's B-Core Racerback Tank delivers the same moisture-wicking, antimicrobial B-Core fabric in a cut built for female athletes — the racerback design keeps straps out of the way during overhead movement and high-intensity activity. For a performance top with a more structured fit, the 1000 FitFlex Performance Tee uses a contoured cut that moves with the body rather than bunching or shifting mid-activity.
Rounding out the collection is the 1265 Saber Hooded Sweatshirt — a heavier fleece option for cold-weather sideline wear or post-practice layering — and a pair of performance headbands, the 0300 and wider 0301, for programs that like to outfit athletes head to toe.
