Buying jerseys for a team is a real spend, and the details decide whether you get a kit everyone loves or a box of problems. Here is what to check before you order, based on the questions teams ask us most.
Ask what the minimum order is and how pricing changes with quantity. Some suppliers force a high minimum or charge extra for every colour and every name. We keep minimums low and do not charge per colour, because sublimation prints the whole design at once. Get the full price up front, including names, numbers, and any add ons, so there are no surprises.
How the design goes on the jersey decides how long it lasts. Sublimation dyes the design into the fabric so it will not crack or peel, which is why it is the right choice for a kit that gets real use. Printed or pressed on designs can lift over a season. If you want the full comparison, read sublimation vs screen printing vs heat transfer.
Check that the fabric suits your sport and climate, and that there is a clear sizing chart with a mixed range of adult and youth sizes. A good supplier will help you size a whole roster and offer custom sizing when someone falls outside the chart. Our sizing guide walks through how to measure so the fit is right on day one.
Ask for a realistic production and shipping timeline and work backward from your season or tournament date. Build in a buffer. Rushed orders are where mistakes happen. Because we produce in Canada, turnaround is fast and you are not waiting on a slow overseas shipment or clearing customs.
Never approve a jersey you have not seen. A proper supplier gives you a mockup to review, with your colours, logo, names, and numbers in place, before anything is produced. Check spelling, number placement, and colour on that proof carefully. Once you approve it, that is what gets made.
Find out what artwork they need from you. A clean vector logo prints sharp at any size, while a small pixelated file will look rough on fabric. If you only have a low resolution logo, ask whether they can redraw it. We cover this in do I need a vector file.
Where a jersey is made affects quality control, turnaround, and how easy it is to fix a problem. Versus Canada is Canadian made, so you deal with a local team, get faster delivery, and have someone accountable if anything needs to be sorted. Tell us your sport and roster and we will handle the rest.
