Must-Have Pickleball Clothing: Style, Sustainability, and Performance

As pickleball continues to take the world—and especially Australia—by storm, players are realising something important: what you wear on the court matters. Not just for comfort or performance, but for the message it sends. That’s where Pickleodian steps in. I'm Kate, the founder of Pickleodian, and I started this brand because I believe pickleball clothing should be fun, functional, and kind to the planet.

Whether you're smashing forehands at your local club, gearing up for a costume-themed pickleball tournament, or simply want to wear your love of the game with pride, we've created something for you. Let’s explore the must-haves in modern pickleball fashion—designed in Australia, inspired by play, and crafted with care.

Pickleball Clothing for Women: Performance With Purpose

At Pickleodian, we know that women want apparel that performs well and feels good—on and off the court. That’s why our women’s pickleball clothing is thoughtfully designed with premium, sustainable materials like recycled viscose, cotton, and spandex blends. The cuts are flattering, breathable, and built for movement.

Our ProPlay QuickDry Tee is a fan favourite. Why? It’s got the perfect balance of stretch and structure. Whether you're dinking, driving, or diving, this tee stays put and keeps you cool. The extended scooped hemline adds a bit of extra coverage without restricting motion—a subtle but important design feature our customers love.

Another standout? The Crew Neck Tee in Pickleball Community Baby Blue. It's soft, stylish, and loaded with positive vibes. It’s not just a shirt—it’s a statement. A statement that says: "I support local, sustainable fashion, and I love this game."

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports for women, and our gear is made to match that momentum. We design for real women who play hard and care about what they wear.

Pickleball Clothing for Men: Sustainable Meets Stylish

Guys, we see you. You want pickleball clothing that works as hard as you do. Our men’s range is built with movement in mind, offering high-performance fabrics that are breathable, sweat-wicking, and lightweight—without compromising on sustainability.

The Men's ProPlay QuickDry Tee checks all the boxes. Made from recycled fibres, it’s light, soft, and engineered to withstand even your toughest game. The fit is athletic but not tight, allowing for easy movement across the court.

If you're after something with a little more personality, the True Pickleodian Tee is a great everyday choice. Whether you're heading to a match, coaching a junior squad, or just repping the sport you love at the café, this tee does it all. It's made from sustainable cotton and comes in a relaxed fit that flatters all builds.

Australian men are embracing pickleball with open arms, and our collection is designed to keep up—without leaving a footprint.

Pickleball Clothing for Novelty Events: Dress Up, Stand Out

Let’s be real—pickleball players know how to have fun. From birthday bashes to Christmas-themed tournaments and charity doubles events, pickleball is full of occasions that call for something a little out of the ordinary.

Enter our novelty range.

Our “Dink This” T-Shirt is a cheeky favourite that always draws a smile. Made with the same high-quality sustainable fabrics as our core range, it’s fun without the landfill guilt. Perfect for social games, themed tournaments, or post-match hangouts.

Planning a club dress-up night? Mix and match your favourite Pickleodian tee with some outrageous socks or a retro sweatband. Add a Santa hat or tutu if you’re brave. (We've seen it. We support it.)

Pickleball is about connection. Our novelty range helps you bring the joy and humour of the sport to life—with sustainability stitched in.

Pickleball-Themed Clothing: Wear Your Passion

Sometimes, you’re not on the court—but your heart is. That’s where our pickleball-themed clothing comes in.

Whether it’s a statement tee, a logo hat, or a bag that subtly says "Yes, I play pickleball," our goal is to help you show your love for the game with pride. These pieces are perfect for travel days, tournament weekends, or everyday wear.

We’ve seen people wear our Pickleodian hats to brunch, our tees to Pilates, and even our accessories to the school pickup line. Why? Because they’re comfy, eye-catching, and a way to spark conversation about a sport we all love.

Pickleball is more than a pastime—it’s a culture. And every piece of clothing you wear from Pickleodian is part of that story.

Why I Wanted to Make Eco-Friendly Pickleball Clothing

Let me take a step back. Why did I start this brand in the first place?

Because I care. Deeply.

I’ve had a passion for sustainability since I was a kid, and travelling the world only deepened that. I saw firsthand how some countries live in harmony with the planet—while others fall behind. It was eye-opening.

The more I learned—about microplastics, ocean pollution, and especially the Great Pacific Garbage Patch—the more I knew I couldn’t just keep playing the game without making a change. I wanted to create something that merged my love for sport and the planet.

That’s why we use recycled fishing nets, organic cotton, and other eco-conscious materials in every single product. It’s why we vet every supplier for ethical manufacturing. And it’s why we design everything here in Australia—so we can stay close to our roots and our values.

Sustainability isn’t a trend. It’s a responsibility.

Designed in Australia, Loved Worldwide

Every item in the Pickleodian collection is designed right here in Australia. Our coastal lifestyle, love of sport, and connection to nature inspire everything we do.

Our gear has already found homes in clubs across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and beyond. We've even shipped pieces internationally to players who love what we stand for. But our heart will always be Aussie.

By choosing Australian-designed pickleball clothing, you’re supporting local creativity, small business, and a commitment to ethical fashion.

How to Build Your Pickleball Wardrobe

Not sure where to start? Here’s a quick guide:

• Start with a core tee: Our ProPlay tees are designed for performance and can be worn at training or tournaments.

• Add personality: Pick a slogan tee like "Dink This" for social games.

• Accessorise wisely: Grab a Pickleodian hat or eco tote to carry your gear.

• Mix in novelty: Keep one fun shirt or themed outfit ready for special events.

Having a wardrobe that reflects your love for pickleball—and your values—makes every game more meaningful.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Pickleodian?

We’re just getting started.

In the coming months, we’re looking to expand our range as always, they’ll be made using eco-friendly materials and designed here in Australia.

We’re also exploring club partnerships—so if you're part of a pickleball community and want to create your own custom club tee, we’re here for it.
