What color hockey neck guard shirt should you buy? Black vs. grey vs. color

When it comes to hockey protective gear, most players don’t think twice about the color of their neck guard shirt – but maybe you should.

Whether you’re choosing from standard hockey neutrals or exploring custom designs, the right color can impact style, visibility, and even team identity. At Titan Battlegear, we go beyond the basics, offering a full range of solid colors, semi-custom team designs, and fully customized team gear.

The standard colors: the best black and grey neck guard shirts

Across the industry, black and grey are the standard colors for hockey neck guard shirts. These neutral tones are designed to blend in under jerseys and meet team uniform requirements. Each has its own advantages:

• Black – A popular choice for durability – black fabric hides stains and looks sleek.

• Grey – A middle-ground option that provides a neutral, understated look that looks great under light-colored uniforms.

While these traditional colors are practical, they don’t allow for personal style or team branding – which is where Titan Battlegear takes things to the next level.

Adding a little color: solid color hockey neck guard shirts

At Titan Battlegear, we believe you should be able to express yourself on the ice, even when it comes to protective gear. That’s why we offer a bold range of solid color options beyond the industry standard, allowing players to stand out without sacrificing performance or safety.

Popular solid colors include:

• Red – If you want a sharp, aggressive look.

• Royal blue – A bold statement color that pairs well with many team uniforms.

• Navy blue – A classic, refined option that blends well.

• Forest green – A deep, rich green that offers a bold yet traditional look.

• Purple – A vibrant option if you want to stand out.

• Maroon – A deep, sophisticated red tone that pairs well with classic hockey aesthetics.

• Orange – A high-energy color if you want to bring intensity to your game.

• Gold – A standout, championship-inspired shade.

• Carolina blue – A fresh, light blue that offers a modern, eye-catching look. 

These colors are about more than looks – they’re made with Titan’s proprietary Titanotex™ fabric, offering A8/A9 cut resistance, moisture-wicking performance, and a lightweight feel that enhances comfort and mobility.

Titan’s novelty patterns are the best hockey neck guard patterns

If you want more than a solid color but don’t need a fully custom design, Titan offers a lineup of bold, high-energy patterns that are in-stock and ready for you. These designs allow you to make a statement on the ice without the wait time of a custom order.
