About the Gildan 8800
The Gildan 8800 is a moisture-wicking jersey knit polo at a wholesale price that makes it a practical choice for those who need a performance polo without paying performance prices. The 6-ounce 50/50 DryBlend construction wicks moisture away from the skin during active use, which is a meaningful upgrade over a standard cotton polo for coaches, field staff, outdoor crews, and corporate programs where the polo gets worn through long, active days.
The contoured welt knit collar and cuffs hold their shape through repeated washing, and the three-button placket with reinforced bottom box adds construction durability that holds up to the kind of pulling and stretching that placket areas typically see over time. Wood-tone buttons give it a slightly more refined detail than standard plastic alternatives. The jersey knit construction is softer and more flexible than a pique polo, which makes it more comfortable for all-day wear at the cost of slightly less structured visual presence. Embroidery on the left chest is the most common decoration approach, and the jersey surface holds stitching cleanly with proper backing.
For a heavier pique polo with more structure in the same Gildan family, the Gildan G880 Adult Pique Polo offers a traditional pique alternative. For a Port Authority polo at a similar price point, the Port Authority K500 Silk Touch Polo is the most widely ordered comparison in the corporate polo market. For a lighter performance polo with full polyester construction, the Team 365 TT51 Zone Performance Polo covers the dedicated performance end of the category.
FAQ
What is the difference between a jersey knit polo and a pique polo?
Pique polos use a textured waffle-style knit that gives the fabric a more structured, traditional polo appearance. Jersey knit polos use a smoother, flatter knit that produces a softer, more flexible fabric closer to a t-shirt construction. The 8800's jersey knit gives it a more relaxed feel and easier movement, while a pique like the K500 has a more polished, formal look. The right choice depends on whether your program prioritizes comfort or visual structure.
Is the 8800 good for embroidery?
Yes. The jersey knit surface holds embroidery cleanly at left-chest placement with appropriate backing. The reinforced placket area is also a popular embroidery placement zone for some programs.
