What XSports does

XSports (legally operated as X Custom Print, doing business as Xsports Manufacturing) is a custom apparel production company founded in 2009 and headquartered in a 10,000 sq ft facility at 7017 John W. Carpenter Fwy, Dallas, TX. The company operates a single in-house production floor offering six decoration methods: screen printing (25-piece minimum, up to 8 colors), DTG printing on a Brother GTX600 Pro with a claimed DFW-exclusive 24x24-inch print size, DTF transfer (no minimums, any fabric), multi-head embroidery (up to 15 thread colors), full cut & sew private-label construction (partly through a company-owned overseas factory), and rhinestone application, plus retail-ready finishing and packaging.

The company's revenue model is transaction-based with quote-driven pricing for each decoration method. DTG prints are listed at $12/print for 48-143 units and $10/print for 144+ units, with optional 25% (24-48 hour) or 40% (same-day) rush surcharges; other methods are quote-based with no public price cards. Blanks from LA Apparel, Shaka Wear, Gildan, Bella Canvas, and Next Level can be billed separately. Go-to-market is sales-led via an online quote tool, in-person factory consultations, and direct phone/text outreach (214-649-2825), supported by Instagram, Facebook, SEO, and email.

XSports serves three primary segments on a horizontal basis: fashion/streetwear brands, businesses and teams (corporate apparel, uniforms, events, promotional wear), and national retailers requiring scalable private-label production. Named customers are predominantly small apparel startups (Create and Co, Playa Society, Social Dallas, Heights District, Spin Quest) plus one nonprofit (Get Home Safe America). The company describes having served "100+ brands" cumulatively and remains bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and a 1-10 employee headcount.

Direct peers

• Threadless: Artist-driven custom apparel platform with in-house DTG and screen printing. Comparable to Xsports on DTG-led production for independent brands and streetwear labels, though with a much larger catalog and consumer-facing storefront.
• Scalable Press: Custom apparel and print-on-demand platform with screen printing, DTG, embroidery, and cut & sew services. Competes with Xsports for streetwear brand production volume, particularly on hybrid DTG/screen workflows.
• CustomInk: National custom apparel platform offering screen printing, embroidery, and DTG to brands, teams, and businesses. Direct competitor to Xsports across the same customer segments (streetwear, corporate, teams) but at significantly larger scale and with an online-first configurator.
• Broken Arrow Wear: Custom apparel manufacturer serving streetwear and private label brands with screen printing, embroidery, and cut & sew. Directly comparable to Xsports on streetwear customer focus and full-package manufacturing capability.
• Printful: DTG and DTF print-on-demand platform serving e-commerce brands and creators with no-minimum orders. Overlaps with Xsports on DTG/DTF decoration methods and the no-minimum, low-volume customer segment, though Printful operates as a distributed network rather than a single facility.
• RushOrderTees: Philadelphia-based custom apparel printer specializing in screen printing and embroidery with same-day rush capabilities. Closely comparable to Xsports on production methods, rush services, and B2B streetwear/team customer focus.
• UberPrints: Online custom apparel printer offering screen printing, DTG, and embroidery with rush turnaround for brands and organizations. Comparable to Xsports on decoration methods, online quote workflow, and rush positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Vistaprint: Large multi-category custom printing platform with apparel and merchandise offerings. Serves overlapping SMB and corporate customers but with a much broader product portfolio (business cards, signage, marketing materials) beyond apparel.
• InkSoft: Custom apparel decoration platform providing online design tools and shop management software to garment printers. Adjacent to Xsports as the underlying software stack that competitors may use to scale their B2B quoting and order management.

Emerging players

• SPOD (Spread Group): Print-on-demand apparel platform with DTG, embroidery, and sublimation targeting e-commerce brands. Comparable to Xsports on DTG-led, no-minimum, e-commerce-integrated production but operates at larger scale internationally.
