The Ultimate Tool for Ball Security
When the weather turns foul or late-summer humidity pushes players to their limits, a simple cotton towel becomes the most important piece of equipment on the field. For a quarterback, attempting to throw a tight spiral with sweaty palms is nearly impossible. For a center, gripping a wet, muddy football ruins the timing of the snap. Athletic directors and coaches know that providing specialized, high-absorbency towels is a cheap and highly effective way to eliminate unforced errors.
Designed to Perform Under Pressure
We stock specifically chosen quarterback towels designed for the rigorous environment of the gridiron:
- Maximum Absorbency: Our towels are manufactured from premium, thick terry cloth or high-grade cotton. This material acts as a sponge, allowing players to instantly wipe sweat from their visors and moisture from the football before every single snap.
- Secure Velcro Attachments: You don't want a towel falling off during a scramble. These towels feature a heavy-duty hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure system designed to loop securely over the player's web belt or pant waistband, ensuring the towel stays locked in place while running.
- Durable & Washable: Wiping mud off a football takes a toll. Our towels are built to endure aggressive, high-temperature locker room laundering cycles without unraveling or losing their moisture-wicking properties.
- Uniform Compliant: We offer standard solid colors (like classic optic white) that comply with national high school and collegiate uniform regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who on the team should wear a football towel?
While they are famously named Quarterback Towels, they are equally essential for the Center (who touches the ball first on every play) and Wide Receivers (who need dry gloves to secure the catch). Running backs also frequently use them to keep their forearms dry to prevent fumbles.
2. Are football towels legal for high school (NFHS) games?
Yes. Under NFHS rules, players are allowed to wear a moisture-absorbing towel. However, the rulebook generally states that the towel must be a solid color (often required to be white or a solid uniform color), contain no unauthorized manufacturer logos larger than the specified limit, and measure no less than 4 inches wide and 12 inches long. (Always verify specific local regulations).
3. How do these towels attach to the uniform?
Our quarterback towels feature a secure Velcro flap at the top. The player simply wraps the flap over their football belt or the top edge of their integrated pants and presses the Velcro shut, allowing the towel to hang freely at their hip or front waist.
4. Can I use fabric softener when washing these towels?
No. Equipment managers should never use liquid fabric softener or dryer sheets when laundering quarterback towels. Fabric softeners leave a microscopic waxy coating on the fibers, which permanently destroys the cotton's ability to absorb water and sweat. Wash them with standard detergent and tumble dry.
5. Are the towels sold individually or in bulk?
Our quarterback towels are priced individually, but they are incredibly affordable, making it easy for schools and booster clubs to buy them in high volume for the entire offensive unit.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for player accessories?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Coaches and athletic directors can easily submit a formal PO to purchase towels, hand warmers, field markers, and practice jerseys.
