About
A teamwear factory that answers its own phone
ZEE Sports Wear makes custom uniforms for teams — school programs, clubs, leagues and the coaches who run them. We design the kit with you, produce it in our own factory, and ship it to the address you gave us on the date we promised.
Most teamwear is bought through a middleman: a catalogue, a markup, and a long wait before anyone can tell you whether your idea is even possible. We work the other way round. You talk to the people who will actually cut and print the kit, so the answer to “can you do this?” comes back the same day, and the price you are quoted is the price of making it.
Because we run production ourselves, a school with three programs gets one quality standard across all of them, one person to call, and one delivery. And because we do not hold catalogue stock, the design is not limited to what somebody printed last year — it is limited by the fabric and the pattern, and we will tell you honestly where those limits are.
What "our own factory" means in practice
It means the six decoration methods are ours rather than a subcontractor's, which is the only reason we can tell a program that the cheaper one is also the better one for their design — the trade-offs are set out across our pages on the six ways we decorate a garment.
It also means the answers to the practical questions are ours to give rather than to relay. How long an order really takes, what a file needs to carry, how to size a squad without measuring everybody — we have written those down rather than making each coach ask, and our guides to ordering custom kit.
How we sell
Each sport has its own site, run by the same company and the same factory. That way a volleyball coach is not scrolling past football pants to find spandex, and everything on the page is relevant to the sport being bought for.
- Texas Football Uniforms — football uniforms
- The Volleyball Uniforms — volleyball uniforms
- California Soccer Jerseys — soccer kits
- Florida Basketball Jerseys — basketball uniforms
- The Baseball Jerseys — baseball & softball
Why the sport sites exist separately
A single site selling five sports has to be organised by garment, because that is the only way five sports fit into one navigation. So a volleyball coach arrives looking for spandex and lands in a category that also contains football pants, and the sizing chart on the page has to cover both.
Splitting by sport removes that compromise. Every page on a sport site is written for one sport, sized for one sport, and photographed on one sport — and the coach never sees a garment that does not apply to them.
It also means the sizing advice can be specific rather than general, which matters more than it sounds: a football jersey worn over pads and a soccer shirt of the same nominal size are not the same garment, and a chart that tries to cover both is wrong for each.
What we will tell you that a catalogue will not
Four things a middleman is not in a position to say, and we are.
That the cheaper method is the better one
It frequently is. Sublimation costs less than stitching on a multi-colour design and outlasts it, and there is no version of that conversation where we lose by being honest about it.
That a colour will not reach you
Some references sit outside what a given fabric can hold. A supplier who has not looked at your reference yet will say yes; we would rather tell you at swatch stage than at delivery.
That a date is not achievable
If a season starts in three weeks and the garment takes four, that is the answer. Agreeing to a date we cannot hit converts our problem into your problem on the day it matters most.
That you are ordering too much
Or too little. We see enough squads to know roughly what a roster of a given size actually issues, and the conversation is cheaper before the order than after it.
What we do not do
We do not hold catalogue stock, which means there is nothing to sell you off a shelf and nothing sitting in a warehouse deciding what you are allowed to design. Every order is made after it is placed.
We do not sell to individuals. The whole operation is built around producing a set of garments that match each other, and a single jersey does not benefit from any of it — a program of twelve is the smallest thing that makes sense here.
And we do not do the selling on this site. The ranges, the sizing charts and the ordering all live on the sport sites, because that is where a coach can see the garments for their sport without wading through four others.
About us, in questions
Do you sell directly to individuals?
No. Everything here is built around producing a set of garments that match each other, and a single jersey benefits from none of it. A program of around twelve is the smallest order that makes sense.
Are the sport sites the same company?
Yes — same company, same factory, same quality standard. They exist separately so a coach sees only the sport they are buying for, with sizing advice specific to that garment rather than general to teamwear.
Can we order across several sports at once?
That is the case this site exists for. One dye batch and one setup across the whole order means the sports match each other, which is the thing that cannot be fixed afterwards.
Do you hold stock?
None. Every order is made after it is placed, which is why the design is limited by fabric and pattern rather than by what somebody printed last year.
Who will we actually be talking to?
People with access to the production floor. That is the entire point of the arrangement: the answer to “can you do this?” comes back the same day rather than after a round trip through a supplier.
What is your minimum order?
It is set per garment rather than site-wide, because a reversible jersey and a set of pants are not comparable pieces of work. Tell us the roster and the pieces and we will give you the number that applies.
Do you work with schools and clubs outside the US?
Yes. Freight and lead time change; the manufacturing does not. It is worth raising early because it affects the delivery date more than anything happening in the factory.
Can you match kit we already own?
Post us the garment. A physical sample is the only reference that survives the trip from your hands to a dye lot intact — a photograph has already passed through a camera and a screen.
How do we start?
Tell us the sport, roughly how many pieces and your colours. That is enough for a real number, and everything else — logo files, size lists, personalisation — can follow.
Is there a cost for a mockup?
No, and no obligation attached to it. We draw the kit and revise it until you are happy before any money is discussed.
