Kit designer
Build the brief, watch the colours, send it in
Six short steps. The preview is a guide to how your colours sit together, not a mockup — the real mockup comes back from our team, on the actual garment, free, usually the same working day.
What this tool is for, and what it is not
It exists to make the first message concrete. A quote request that says “blue and white, about twenty jerseys” starts a conversation; one that arrives with a layout attached starts the work, because we can see immediately whether the design is producible and what it will cost to decorate.
What it is not is a rendering of your finished kit. It has no pricing in it, it does not know your fabric, and the colours on your screen are not the colours that will come off a dye lot — that is a physical question settled with a swatch rather than a hex value.
Think of it as a sketch you did not have to draw. Everything it produces gets redrawn properly by us as a production proof before anything is made, and the proof is the thing you actually approve. What that proof needs to carry is set out in our artwork requirements.
Getting something useful out of it in five minutes
The order matters, because each choice narrows the next.
- 01
Pick the garment first
A design that works on a long basketball jersey is cramped on a volleyball shirt. Choosing the garment before the layout stops you falling in love with something that does not fit it.
- 02
Set the base colour
Everything else is judged against it. Get this roughly right before adding detail, or you will redo the detail once the base changes.
- 03
Place the crest before the numbers
The crest has a fixed minimum size to stay legible; numbers can move. Placing the immovable thing first saves an iteration.
- 04
Check it at arm’s length
Team kit is read from the touchline, not from thirty centimetres away. Step back from the screen before deciding a design is finished.
- 05
Send it with the roster size
The layout tells us what to make; the roster tells us what it costs. Together they are enough for a written quote, which a layout alone is not.
Questions about the design tool
Is the design tool free to use?
Yes, with no account and no obligation. It exists to make your first message concrete rather than to capture you — send what you make or do not, either is fine.
Does it show prices?
No. Price depends on garment, decoration method and quantity, and a number attached to a sketch before those are settled would be a guess presented as a quote. Send the layout with a roster size and you get a real one.
Are the colours on screen the colours I will get?
No, and no design tool anywhere can promise that. Screen colour is emitted light and fabric colour is reflected light off a textured surface. Settle colour with a Pantone number or a swatch, not with a screen.
Can I upload our logo?
Send it with the request rather than trying to place it in the sketch. We need the real vector file to reproduce it properly, and a placed low-resolution version tells us less than the file itself does.
What happens after I send a design?
We redraw it as a production proof — the real thing, on the real garment shape, with the colours named. That proof is what you approve, and nothing is cut until you do.
Can I change the design after sending it?
Freely, right up to proof approval. The sketch is a starting point and most designs change between the tool and the proof, which is exactly what the proof stage is for.
Do I need design experience to use it?
No. If you can pick a garment and a colour you can use it, and if the result is rough that is genuinely fine — we would rather have a rough layout than a paragraph describing one.
Will my design work on the garment I picked?
The tool will not stop you doing something unproducible, so we check. If a layout cannot be made as drawn, we tell you why and show you the nearest thing that can be.
Can I design for several sports at once?
Do them one at a time and send them together. The colours and crest carry across; the layout has to adapt per garment, and forcing one layout onto five sports is how a design ends up cramped on four of them.
Do you keep my design if I do not order?
We keep it long enough to be useful if you come back, which programs often do a season later. There is nothing attached to it — no obligation and no follow-up you did not ask for.
