What Pickl Ink is

Pickl Ink is an online shop for the clothes and small gifts that turn a loose group of regulars into a club. Think of the people who show up for open play three mornings a week, the league team that needs a shirt for league night, the doubles partner you have shared a side with for two seasons, and the friend who keeps the paddle rack moving. That is who we make things for.

We sell wearables and courtside items only. We do not sell paddles, balls, shoes or any playing equipment, and we never will pretend to. If you see a paddle in one of our pictures, it is a plain prop so you can picture the shirt where it belongs. Everything you can buy here is something you wear, carry or drink from on the bench.

The shop is run by email from Henderson, Nevada. You will not find a phone line, a chat box or social pages. That is on purpose: every question comes to one inbox at support@picklink.shop, and every answer stays in writing so the whole group can see it if the captain forwards it on.

A shop laid out like a court

Instead of a long menu, the store is split into zones named after the court you already know. Each zone holds one kind of thing, so you can walk straight to what you came for.

Kitchen Line Tees

The Kitchen Line is where the tees live: everyday club tees, a long sleeve tee for cool early sessions and a tank for warm afternoons. Two of the tees take your club name; the others carry lines drawn from the rack and the rotation. None of them leans on a pun.

Baseline Sweatshirts

The Baseline holds the heavier layers: varsity-style crewnecks, a pullover hoodie and a quarter-zip pullover. These are club wear for the walk from the car, the wait between games and the club social afterwards. They are not sold as match kit, and we make no claims about cooling or drying.

The Bench

The Bench is the gift corner: a dad hat, a trucker hat, a cuffed beanie, a courtside towel, a tumbler, a ceramic mug and a tote bag. Each is one size. This is where most people shop when they want something for a partner, a captain or a newcomer and do not know their shirt size.

The Gate: Team Orders

The Gate gathers the five items you can personalise: the Club Crest Tee, the Varsity Club Crewneck, the Team Tee with Back Name and Number, the Courtside Towel with Name and the Bench Tumbler with Name. If you are kitting out a whole group, start here.

The sign-up sheet and the paddle rack

Every club has a clipboard by the gate where players write their names for the next round-robin. Our homepage has one too. On the sign-up sheet you tap a shirt, tap how many players you have (4, 6, 8 or 12) and tap a size for each player. The sheet adds up the pieces per size, the total pieces and the team total at the listed price, then links you to that shirt with the most-picked size already chosen. A Copy the sheet button turns the tally into plain text you can paste into the group chat.

It uses buttons only, with nothing to type, and it lives in your own browser. Nothing on the sheet is sent to us and you do not need an account. When the group agrees, each player (or the captain) adds one cart line per person with that person’s size and back name.

Further down the homepage is the paddle rack, asking whose paddle is next. Each paddle opens a short list picked for a kind of person: for the captain, for the partner, for the new player and for the whole club.

How a team order actually goes

Here is a real-world way to use the shop. A captain is putting together a spring league team of 12. She opens the sign-up sheet, picks the Team Tee with Back Name, taps 12 players and goes round the group on league night: two S, three M, three L, two XL, one 3XL and one 5XL. The sheet shows the count per size and the total. She copies the tally into the team chat so nobody can say they were missed.

Then she counts back. Making takes 1-3 business days and transit to the US takes 7-14 business days, so she allows up to 17 business days from the day she orders. That figure is an estimate built from our stated times, not a guarantee, so she orders well before the first league night rather than the week of it. Each of the 12 players gets their own cart line with their own size, back name and number.

A league organiser running six teams can do something similar with the Varsity Club Crewneck. One design, a colour per team, picked from Maroon, Navy, Forest, Heather Grey and Sand. With five colours and six teams, the organiser pairs the two teams that never meet in the same session on one colour, and everyone else knows which bench is whose at the club social.

Personalisation, plainly

On the five personalised items, you type the words and we print exactly what you type, in capitals. The product page shows a live how-it-prints card with your lines, and the same text appears again in the cart, at checkout and in your order email. Those three places are your check. We do not send a proof or mockup before production, so read the lines once more before you pay.

• Club Crest Tee: club or team name up to 18 characters, an optional est. year from 1965 to 2026 and an optional back name up to 12 characters.
• Varsity Club Crewneck: club name up to 18 characters, an optional est. year and an optional home court line up to 22 characters.
• Team Tee with Back Name and Number: team name on the front up to 18 characters, a required back name up to 12 characters and an optional number from 0 to 99.
• Courtside Towel with Name and Bench Tumbler with Name: a name up to 14 characters and an optional club line up to 18 characters.

Personalisation is included in the price; there is no add-on charge. Please type only your own club or group name. We do not print the name or logo of any league, tournament, brand or venue, and Pickl Ink has no link to any league, club, association, tournament, rating system or venue.

Sizes and prices without the small print

Adult apparel comes in unisex sizes S through 5XL, and every size costs the same. A 5XL and an S on the same team order are the same price, line for line. There are no youth sizes. Hats, the beanie, the towel, the tumbler, the mug and the tote are one size.

There is no minimum order and no quote form. There is also no group discount: a team of 12 pays 12 times the listed price, the same as 12 people ordering on their own. We would rather keep one honest price than run a discount ladder. If you are unsure about fit, the Size Guide explains how to measure and how the unisex cut tends to sit.

What we say and what we do not

The homepage has a section called Club wear, said plainly. It sets out what each piece is for and what we do not claim. The same rule runs through this page. Our tees are tees. Varsity means the lettering style, nothing more. We do not describe cotton club wear as match kit, and we make no claims about fabric technology, sun protection or how a tumbler holds temperature unless a supplier sheet confirms it. Where a detail such as fabric weight or garment measurements is still being confirmed, we tell you so and invite you to email us.

We also keep the shop free of things that make choosing harder: no countdown timers, no low-stock alarms, no badges and no star counters. You pick a shirt because it suits your group, not because a clock told you to.

Seasons around the world

Clubs play year round, so the homepage has a season strip: winter indoor, spring league, summer outdoor, fall session and holidays. If you are in Australia or New Zealand, read it upside down. Your summer outdoor season falls in December and January, while a club in Canada is ordering hoodies and beanies for the indoor winter league at the same time. Both ship from the USA with free shipping, and both should count on the same 1-3 business days of making plus 7-14 business days in transit.

Gifts for people at every stage

Plenty of orders here are not for a team at all. A doubles partner buying a towel with their partner’s name for the end of the season. A captain thanking the person who books the courts. A friend picking a mug for someone who has just learned what the kitchen is and keeps telling everyone about it. The paddle rack on the homepage and the recipient tags exist for exactly these moments, and the one-size items on The Bench take the guesswork out of sizing a gift.

Things we leave out on purpose

A short list, so nobody is surprised later. We do not sell playing equipment of any kind. We do not offer youth sizes. We do not run tiered team pricing or charge extra for a 4XL. We do not send mockups for approval, so the text you type is the text we use. We do not claim to be part of, approved by or connected with any league, rating system, venue or event. And we do not promise that an order arrives by a particular date, whether that is opening night of the fall session or a holiday party at the club; we give you our stated times and leave the counting to you, with room to spare.
