Adding your logo or player identification also makes it easier to organize towels throughout the season.

Bench Towels & Sideline Towels

One of the most popular products for basketball programs is the bench towel, sometimes called a sideline towel. These towels are designed to remain within easy reach during games, allowing players to quickly dry their hands and face between possessions without leaving the bench.

Texon’s 22 x 44 bench towels have become one of the industry’s preferred sizes because they provide excellent coverage without being bulky or difficult to manage.

What Size Is a Basketball Bench Towel?

While basketball bench towels are available in several sizes, the most common size used by collegiate and professional athletic programs is 22 x 44 inches.

This size provides an ideal balance of:

  • Excellent absorbency
  • Comfortable shoulder coverage
  • Easy storage on the bench
  • Lightweight handling
  • Fast drying between uses

The 22 x 44 size also works well as a multipurpose athletic towel for practices, workouts, travel, and strength training.

  • Designed for athletic programs
  • Highly absorbent cotton construction
  • Durable enough for repeated commercial laundering
  • Available in multiple colors
  • Ideal for basketball benches, sidelines, locker rooms, and training facilities

This size has become the preferred choice for many collegiate athletic departments because it performs equally well during games and everyday workouts.

Basketball Player Sweat Towels

Every possession matters, and athletes need towels that help them stay comfortable throughout intense competition.

Basketball sweat towels are commonly used to:

  • Wipe perspiration during timeouts
  • Keep hands dry for better ball control
  • Dry the face between substitutions
  • Stay comfortable during practices
  • Support strength and conditioning workouts
  • Reduce distractions caused by excessive perspiration

Texon’s player towels are built for repeated use throughout an entire season and maintain their absorbency even after frequent washing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is a basketball bench towel?

The most common bench towel used by basketball programs is 22 x 44 inches. This size provides excellent absorbency while remaining easy for players to keep on the bench or drape over their shoulders during games and practices.

Why Do Basketball Players Use Towels on the Sideline?

Basketball players use towels throughout games and practices to manage sweat, improve grip, and stay comfortable during intense competition. Towels help keep players’ hands and forearms dry, making it easier to handle the ball, maintain control, and reduce slipping. Many teams also use larger bench towels or Powerade®/Gatorade® sideline towels draped over players’ shoulders to help absorb sweat during timeouts and while resting on the bench. These oversized towels can also provide warmth between stretches of play and are often customized with team logos, player names, or sponsor branding. Because basketball is a fast-paced, high-intensity sport, having clean, absorbent towels readily available is an important part of keeping athletes focused, comfortable, and performing at their best.

Texon offers custom basketball towels with team logos, school names, player numbers, embroidery, screen printing, and other decoration options for schools, colleges, clubs, and professional organizations.

Should every player have their own towel?

Many athletic departments assign one towel to each player to improve organization, reduce towel sharing, and simplify laundry management. Bulk purchasing makes it easy to outfit an entire roster.

Are basketball towels machine washable?

Yes. Texon’s athletic towels are designed for repeated commercial laundering and maintain their softness and absorbency through frequent washing.
