The brand started a few years ago when four neighbors from Indianapolis, Indiana couldn't find a shirt we wanted to wear on the court. These founders formed a company and started sharing our designs with others in our community and online. Since, our online business has been extremely successful. We sell on our website and on Etsy.
Today, we also sell our products in three racquet clubs in the Indianapolis area: West Indy Racquet Club, The Indianapolis Pickleball Club and The Dink House. We are always looking for more racquet club partners to collaborate with!
We create shirts that bring people together and celebrate the inclusive and collegial nature of the sport we love. Our shirts are made to help you look good, feel good, and play to win! When our products are in the pro shop, it signals to members that their passion for pickleball is seen and celebrated. It adds to the community feel and culture of a new and growing sport, which most people play recreationally.
At multiple local tournaments throughout the year, we set up a vendor booth to showcase our products! We will post about the events we plan to attend on our Instagram page, @pickledpaddler! Give us a follow!
About our Pickleball products
Pickled Paddler t-shirts are made from an amazing tri-blend fabric that is sort like a well-loved cotton t-shirt, but that also wicks moisture from the skin. It’s perfect for wear on the court and happy hour after. We hear from customers all the time who love the feel of our shirts.
Pickled Paddler shirts often start as ideas that we get from our pickleball friends. Once the design is completed, Lindsay sends it via computer file to a company who prints it on transfer paper. Most often these are printed with plastisol ink (the same ink used in standard screen printing). We receive the designs printed on transfer paper and when we print a shirt, we use our heat press to adhere the design to the shirt, visor, hat, towel, etc. This process allows us to also create custom designs for our customers!
