Black clothing

Black is the most-ordered color in decorated apparel. It goes with every ink and thread color, hides wear and stains, and looks the same on every body type and in every setting, from a concert crew to a restaurant floor. Pick the garment below; every product is shown in its black colorway.

What counts as black

Black
#232323

Black here means a true, solid black. Heathered blacks, washed and vintage blacks, and black two-tone colorways are left out, so everything on these pages reads as black next to everything else. The swatch shows our reference color, #232323: the median fabric color of every in-stock garment sold as black. A colorway is listed only if its measured fabric color is close enough to read as the same black side by side.

Suppliers sell the clothing on this page as Black, Jet Black, Deep Black, Solid Black Blend and Blackink.

Who wears black

Black is the default for event and venue staff, restaurants and bars, security, tech and creative companies, band and tour merch, and team gear for black-and-gold or black-and-red schools. It's also the most common color for jackets, pants and bags, where it hides wear best.

Black reads as strong, sleek and authoritative. On clothing it's the safest choice for a uniform that has to look sharp, and the most flexible background for a logo, since almost any color stands out against it.

Black school colors

Black is a signature color for a long list of schools, usually paired with gold: Iowa, Purdue, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, UCF, Colorado and App State all wear black and gold, while Georgia, Texas Tech, South Carolina and Louisville pair it with red.

Official color codes: University of Iowa school colors, Purdue University school colors, University of Missouri school colors, Vanderbilt University school colors, Wake Forest University school colors, University of Central Florida school colors, University of Colorado Boulder school colors, University of Georgia school colors, Texas Tech University school colors and University of South Carolina school colors.

Printing and embroidery on black

Almost every ink and thread color shows up on black: white, gold, silver, red and bright colors all pop. Dark colors like navy, maroon and forest green disappear. For screen printing, light inks on black usually need an underbase, which can affect price.
