When it comes to ordering teamwear, your finances are of crucial importance. In order to help you saving money, we have compiled this article to help you make the most of your teamwear budget.
Save money while looking great
In general, sports is big business, and many world-class teams save no expenses when it comes to perks and spoils for their players. Only the best hotels, travel options, and outfits will do. But ultimately the vast majority of teams has no money to waste.
Therefore let’s check the basics. All things considered, what do you need to know to save money when you order teamwear?
Recommendation No. 1: Order Early
This is so important that it might also be our recommendation Number 2 – 20. Just like in real estate, everything is about location, location, location.
When it comes to teamwear and sports in general, the key issue is timing, timing, timing.
Concentrating on your teamwear order well ahead of time means you will get all the details right: the player names, their numbers, the sponsor logos.
Recommendation No. 2: Consider Your Sponsor
Love your sponsor as you love yourself.
Make them look as good as you can. Invest in customized teamwear to really stand out. Give their logos and company names a frame that looks good, don’t waste them in a cheap print in a standard, off-the-shelf shirt.

Recommendation No. 3: Go Direct
Don’t fall into the same trap as so many other teams: Ordering the same standard shirt from the same sportswear brand via the same sports dealer.
Summing up this benefits the middleman handsomely, but it does not make your team look good and it definitely does nothing to help you save money. Quite the contrary, you leave precious funds on the table.
This means you don’t have to sacrifice your finances when ordering teamwear.

Recommendation No. 4: Get the Facts Right
There is one iron-clad rule: When things go wrong, they tend to get expensive. Errors can certainly happen, but when you have to pay for an extra rush order because of wrong sizes, names, or sponsor logos, you waste money. This brings us back to Recommendation Number 1 – give yourself some extra time by ordering early.
Recommendation No. 5: Speak to Your Players
Who knows better about the feel and performance of your teamwear than the players actually wearing it?
So give them a chance to express their feedback and their wishes. However, this does not mean to necessarily please everyone with a unique shirt – and ending up with a dozen of individual shirts in different colours. But it will ensure that there is lot of buy-in.

Recommendation No. 6: Choose Quality
For sure, you will always find a cheaper option on the internet. Finances are key when ordering teamwear, but are these bargains worth it?
Therefore it is highly advisable to consider the long-term cost. The quality and longevity of a teamwear article have a strong impact on your budget (not to mention your team’s image). When you have to replace flimsy T-shirts in mid season in a rushed delivery, any savings are quickly gone.
To be on the safe side, opt to work with an expert who will help you make the most of your finances when ordering teamwear.
