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.

4. Start Designing: Use Online Tools or Professional Designers

There are two main ways to design custom teamwear:

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.

Option B: Work With EVO’s In-House Designers

If you want a premium, polished look, professional designers can help you create:

  • Sport-specific designs

  • Modern patterns

  • Unique colour fades

  • Custom collar and sleeve options

  • Sponsor placements

  • Player names and numbers

This ensures your teamwear looks clean, sharp, and competition-ready.

5. Select the Right Printing Method

The printing method affects durability, comfort, and cost.

Popular techniques:

  • Sublimation (most recommended)

    • Colours never crack or fade

    • Unlimited design possibilities

    • Ideal for high-performance sports

  • Embroidery

    • Jacket and hoodie logos

  • Heat transfer vinyl

    • Player names/numbers for small batches

6. Finalise Size Sets, Proofs & Approvals

Before production:

  • Check size chart .

  • Carefully review the final design proof.

  • Check:

    • Logo placement

    • Colour combinations

    • Player numbers

    • Spelling

    • Sponsor layouts

Once approved, production begins — typically 3–6 weeks with EVO Sportswear depending on the order.
