Athletic Basketball Towels: How to Save When Ordering in Bulk for Your Sports Programs

Looking for towels for your team and not sure what you need? You might have some questions that include: what size towel, fabric, and pricing should I look for? Address these concerns to ensure you get the most out of the next purchase for your team. Here is the low-down when ordering athletic basketball towels in bulk.

Towels for the Bench

Are you looking for athletic basketball towels for the bench or shower? The most common two sizes for basketball bench towels will be the 22” x 44” option. Most of you will recognize this as the size of a Gatorade or Powerade towel often provided to athletic trainers or schools programs.  We do offer these in white, multiple colors, and white with center-stripes options.

The second most popular size is the 16” x 27” hand towel. This size is a bit short for draping around the neck, but it is well suited as sweat or hand towels. We often see teams use these as a “one-and-done” during games. Meaning they are to be used by the athlete. Then, they are sent directly into the dirty hamper. (Remember, athletes should never share dirty towels!)

The 16” x 27” sweat towel is also offered in white, colors, and center stripes. You really can’t go wrong with either size for the bench area, but please call the Texon Towel staff with any product questions.

Basketball Shower Towels

When looking for daily-use shower towels in the college markets, we would recommend nothing smaller than the 27”x52” basketball shower towels in size. If looking for larger player shower towels, the 32” x 66” bath sheets are popular with collegiate and professional teams. They can be customized with the embroidered numbers, names, or logos by Texon.

Generally, high schools utilize economy athletic towels for players or coaches to shower, ranging in size from 22” x 44” up to 27” x 52”.  If you have any questions about items, please reach out to our Texon staff.

You Get What You Pay For

Athletic basketball towels’ pricing generally follows the rule of thumb that you get what you pay for! The cheaper the towel, the less weight. You will also likely get less durability on lower-priced items. For example, their material’s weave may not be as tight.

We mark many of our products as economy or premium. The towels you use at home are likely softer than economy towels. On the other hand, premium athletic basketball towels are generally retail quality.

Choosing the Right Athletic Basketball Towel to Buy in Bulk
