Teamwear Orders: Managing Sizes, Colours and Player Personalization

A teamwear order needs a controlled roster as well as a garment specification. Player names, numbers, sizes and colourways create individual production instructions that can easily become inconsistent across files. Keep the garment approval and personalization approval connected, but give each a clear record.

In this guide

Build a roster that reconciles to the order

Approve artwork before accepting late changes

Provide lettering, number style, finished dimensions and placement rules. Ask for a proof suitable to the project and identify who may sign it off. Treat roster edits after approval as revisions, showing which lines replace earlier instructions instead of sending an unexplained new spreadsheet.

Coordinate fit and packing with personalization

• Review the garment fit before assuming size labels are equivalent.
• Check how placement works across the intended size range.
• Identify component counts for kits or multi-garment sets.
• State packing by player, garment, size or another agreed system.
• Reconcile the approved roster to the manufacturing and packing totals.

Mistakes to avoid

• Allowing several people to send separate unapproved roster changes.
• Counting personalized sets and individual garments as the same unit.
• Leaving spelling, character case or number style to interpretation.

Prepare the next decision

Send the approved roster, garment specification and artwork pack together. Ask the supplier to identify the proof and change-control steps required before confirming the order and schedule.

For catalogue context, explore the Sportswear & Teamwear collection and review Team Travel Set as a catalogue design reference; confirm its documented concept/sample status before using it in a production brief. Discuss your development requirements through the manufacturing and sampling process.
