Competition shirts

[THE BIG SITT]

I've been to a few USPSA matches now, and I notice some of the more seasoned shooters wearing what appears to be a lightweight shirt with logos from various companies logos in different locations. Those of you with these sweet threads, are you actually sponsored, or are you just supporting some brands that you like (similar to a Civic covered in Greddy, Injen, and Momo stickers)?

Usually they are shirts that were either bought when a shooter shot in a major match or was included when someone worked a major match.

Some are sponsors for shooters or teams, other are just companies the person likes and wants to promote (maybe hoping for sponsorship?). The past couple of years there have been shirts available at the state match with a couple of the large match sponsor logos on them.

and then there's the STI contingency....

me, I usually go to a sporting goods store during a sale and grab a couple UA Ts for <$15.....

The shirts from the matches will identify the match.

The sponsored shooters usually have a shirt that says something along the lines of "Team ..." on the back.

That has been my observation anyway.

I have several Under Armour type shirts that work well in the summer. My shooting shirts are of the oversized variety rather than form-fitting. Although if Mrs. Slawburger doesn't stop feeding me so well they are all going to be form fitting.

They issue those shirts once you hit B class.

I think there is also a minimum weight limit.

You can have a shirt made by Techwear or Animal Customs. Most people are wearing shirts from big matches that they shoot. My shirt has my bullet sponsor on it and a few other companies that I use their product and would love to be sponsored by some day.

I would say most people are wearing shirts they had made. Some, me included, wear our shirts from matches to locals but we really deck out when we go to majors.
Our ability to accessorize is what separates us from the animals...

In that case, you would think I would be in demand for wearing such a shirt.

You just aren't marketing yourself properly.

I think you need to go with sluts on this one. Whores get paid.
