Frequently Asked Questions
Before Ordering
Yes, we can. We’ve produced kit for hockey, shinty, handball, basketball and others. The printing technology we use is incredibly versatile so can be applied to almost any sporting kit you need.
Please refer to our size chart for information on which size(s) to choose.
Start by designing your kits in our Kit Designer, send us a quote request or contact us to discuss your requirements.
You can learn more about the full order and production process.
Your order’s quote will already include a club logo & a sponsor logo to be added to your designs(s). We also include up to 2 design iterations with our in-house designers to add any finishing touches to design(s). If you require >2 design iterations, we may charge a small additional design fee (from £30+VAT).
We don’t charge additional fees for Kit Designer/existing design set ups although our bespoke kit design service does have an hourly design fee (from £100+VAT).
Unfortunately we can’t offer samples due to the fact that everything we do is made to order.
We receive numerous sponsorship requests so please don’t take it personally if we turn down your offer.
Delivery & Returns
All orders are subject to a postage and packing charge which will be confirmed at the checkout stage and on your quote confirmation.
For bulk event orders we will provide a personalised quote detailing delivery costs to your event location.

Please note that any orders to the USA will have an additional tariff payable (alongside import duty & tax) to your courier prior to delivery; these fees are not included in your invoice [unless purchasing via our Club Shop].

Football Kit Orders
The minimum initial order quantity varies from item to item. This information can be found on the product page for each product.
For Custom Football Jerseys, the minimum initial order per design is 15 items which can be spread across men’s, women’s and kids’ sizes if wanted.
Should you need to place a top-up or repeat order of the same design, there’s no minimum and you can order 1 piece if you wish.
For orders outside the UK and EU, the minimum order value is £2,000/$2,500.
Our standard football jersey is a classic unisex fit though we can do slim fit and women’s fit if preferred. Just let us know at the enquiry stage and we’ll arrange the fit you want.
Yes, if you order a minimum of 15 football kits you can add a single goalkeeper kit. Just add a goalie kit on Kit Designer or let us know what you need at the enquiry stage.
The inclusion of all your club badges and sponsor logos are free of charge providing any artwork is supplied in a suitable format for printing. We’re committed to giving you the best possible result so, should we feel any artwork supplied or uploaded isn’t of sufficient resolution or clarity for print, we’ll let you know prior to proceeding with your order. Should this happen, we would ask you to either resupply or, if required (and for a small charge), we can optimise it for you.
Yes. However, as this isn’t part of the printing process there will be both an additional charge and a set minimum quantity. As always, let us know and we’ll be happy to give you further information.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for on kit designer and want a bespoke design, then drop us a line via our enquiry form with any information or ideas you have and we’ll be happy to help. We’ve got a team of experienced in-house designers on hand who can assist you in bringing your kit ideas to life – though we do charge a small fee for this service.
All your design elements including all logos, sponsors, names and numbers are printed on the actual fabric. This means that everything’s built in so you’re not charged any extra if you want any additional logos or numbers – and you don’t pay more if any of your players has a long name involving lots of letters. Your kit will never be discontinued either: it can be re-ordered whenever suits so there’s no worry about it being out of stock or unavailable.
Unlike traditional methods like heat press or screen printing which lie on top of the fabric, a sublimation print is embedded into the fabric using heat and ink. This means that the print won’t crack, peel, wash off or fade away. It also means that you can get amazing detail and a breadth of colour options that other printing techniques can’t match. And because we sublimate onto the fabric before it’s sewn into garment form, you’re not bound by the limitations of printing onto a garment, you can have a design that reaches from seam to seam.
