Define the use case first
Match kits, training wear, school activities and event-crew uniforms have different requirements. Start by listing the sport, venue, wearing frequency and required delivery date.
For hot conditions or high activity, prioritise quick-dry, breathable construction and freedom of movement. For team recognition, allow space for names, numbers and logos.
- Sport and venue: indoor, outdoor or multi-purpose
- Team size and size range
- Names, numbers and logo artwork
- Final wearing date and delivery plan
Start with fabric and cut
Lightweight quick-dry knits and mesh are common for basketball, football and volleyball. Table tennis and badminton wear often prioritises breathability, stretch and shoulder movement. Fabric weight, construction and cut all affect comfort and branding results.
Prepare details for the quotation

- Share clear logo artwork whenever possible
- Check names and numbers before placing the order
- Sample timing and costs depend on the confirmed style and method
