Design Your Own Teamwear: Step-by-Step Guide for Clubs & Schools (Australia)
Designing custom teamwear is one of the most exciting parts of running a sports club, school program, or community team. It brings your players together, builds identity, and makes every match feel professional. If you’re new to the process, this guide will walk you through exactly how to design your own teamwear in Australia — from concept to delivery.
And if you want premium quality, fast turnaround, and expert design support, EVO Sportswear is one of Australia’s leading providers of fully customised teamwear for clubs, schools, and organisations.
1. Understand What Your Team Needs
Before you start designing, note down the essentials:
Sport type (AFL, cricket, soccer, rugby, basketball, netball, athletics, etc.)
Garments required (jerseys, shorts, tracksuits, hoodies, singlets, socks, coaches' apparel)
Quantity needed (minimum order, team squad size, reserves)
Specific sizing requirements
Preferred colours or existing brand guidelines
Tip: EVO Sportswear offers custom sizing, multiple fabric options, and sport-specific patterns, which makes the process easier for clubs and schools.
2. Choose the Right Fabric and Fit
Performance teamwear should be durable, breathable, and made for Australian conditions — hot summers, high-intensity games, and outdoor training.
Popular choices include:
High-performance polyester — lightweight, moisture-wicking
Premium mesh fabrics — for breathability
Stretch fabrics — great for comfort and movement
Sublimated material — colours never peel or fade
EVO Sportswear uses premium, fade-resistant fabrics designed to handle long seasons and tough weather conditions.
3. Map Out Your Team Colours and Branding
Consistency matters. Before designing, confirm:
Primary colour
Secondary/trim colours
Logo formats
Sponsor logos (high-resolution PNG or SVG recommended)
Mascot or emblem designs
EVO’s design team can help clubs refine colours and create professional artwork based on your brand identity.

Option A: Use an Online Teamwear Designer Tool
You can create your team kit quickly using an intuitive platform. We offers online design support where clients can customise colours, patterns, logos, and numbers.
