Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I'm going to assume you are now (only) doing this sports gray right?You should be good with the screens you mentioned. It kinda doesn't matter that much now since it's apparently the one color shirt. It's a small print (on top of a pocket) so a soft hand is not a major factor. Any medium to low mesh will work but I wouldn't go extremely low.

Any medium to low mesh will work but I wouldn't go extremely low.shirts will be grey, red and blue..and MAYBE some yellows.OK, Just gotta ask, what are you going to do to the art on the red and blue shirts to define the red & blue printed ink? It will appear to be low/no contrast on those colors. Am I missing something......?

So what you really have, is a continuation of this original post of the same art.http://www.theshirtboard.com/index.php/topic,7446.msg76051.html#msg76051Same questions and answers apply.
Royal in particular (at least all of the brands we've used) is pretty transparent and relies on a lightground to appear, well, royal. I'd think without a base you'll see the heathering through the ink.That said, Sport Grey is one of those colors where a one hit white is typically fine. So what we'ddo:230 Black180 WhiteFlash230 Red180 Blue

Makes great $ense.
we don't do that ever because flashing black ink along with white would make the black burn through the shirtmight only be a quartz flash issue though
