What to order

What should our club order?

Playing kit is only part of it. Most clubs also want polos for coaches and officials, hoodies and jackets for the sideline in winter, supporter tees for finals, caps, and something for presentation night. Off-field merch is often where clubs actually make money, because supporters will buy a hoodie in a way they never buy a playing singlet. Ordering it all together also brings the per-item price down.

Club stores

Let players order and pay for their own gear

Rather than the club collecting money and fronting an order, we set up an online store where each player or family picks their size and pays directly. It removes the two worst jobs on any committee: chasing payments and guessing sizes.

  1. 1You set the products and the price (add a margin if you like).
  2. 2We print and ship to each person, or in one box to the club.
  3. 3Funds come back to the club when the store closes.

Yes. Send a list with each player's name, number and size and we will apply it across the order, on playing kit, training tops, hoodies or jackets.

What is the minimum order?

Screen printing and embroidery need 20 units per design. Direct to film has no minimum, which suits smaller clubs and mid-season top-ups.

What is the best method for club gear?

Direct to film for stretch fabrics and activewear. It works on polyester and blends and will not crack or peel. Embroidery for coaching polos and jackets. Screen printing if you are ordering supporter tees in real volume.

Can we include sponsor logos?

How is this different from custom sportswear?

Custom sportswear covers performance and playing apparel. This page covers everything around the team: coaching polos, supporter merch, sideline jackets and presentation gear. Most clubs need both.
