Teamwear for clubs, teams and academies

Voyager Sportswear is a custom teamwear manufacturer in Turkey that makes jerseys, shorts, goalkeeper tops and training tees for clubs, teams and academies, including sublimated jerseys whose panel artwork can carry numbers and sponsor marks. A club or academy can brief several teams together, approve fit on a size set and appoint one kit officer who collects sizes and any numbers from coaches and is the only person who sends changes to the factory.

Size breakdown: one list, one owner

The size breakdown sent with the approved sample lists the quantities for each team by garment and size, with the numbers where they are required. The version sent with the approval is the version that goes to cutting. Once the panels are printed, a change may need new pieces or a different branding proposal, so ask Voyager Sportswear to assess feasibility, appearance, cost and timing before you accept a late change. Size breakdowns and numbering for bulk jersey orders has the layout by style and size and the checks that catch the usual errors, such as the same number twice in one team.

Fit approval with a size set the club tries on

The base-size fit and measurements are approved first. Then agree which further sizes the club needs to try, collect player feedback in one list and confirm the final size allocation before production. The number of samples and approval stages is agreed for each order. Even after a fitting, some size exchanges may still be needed later.

Sponsors and who owns the artwork

Two sets of artwork meet on a club jersey: the club crest and colours, and the sponsor mark. Keep your own copies of the approved crest, colour references and artwork files, and ask at quotation whether the manufacturer will keep working files for a later order. The right to use a sponsor mark next season lies with the club and the sponsor, so obtain a vector file and written placement approval before sampling.

A sponsor confirmed before the panels are printed goes into the panel artwork and is approved on the sample. A sponsor confirmed later needs a separate feasibility review, as adding it to finished garments is not automatically possible. Sponsor logos and jersey artwork sets out file formats, safe areas and the late-sponsor problem in full.

Replacements and mid-season additions

• Extra pieces in the sizes that turn over most, ordered with the squad and held by the club.
• A decision on whether spares carry a number in the panel artwork or stay blank. If you plan to number spares later, confirm a suitable application method before ordering them.
• For next season, send the last approved pattern or specification and the artwork you hold, and ask which files the manufacturer still has, whether the fabric can be sourced again and whether a new sample is needed. Reordering teamwear across seasons explains these checks.

Count garments separately from players

A squad of 20 does not necessarily mean 20 identical sets. Each player may need two jerseys and one pair of shorts, for example, while goalkeepers need a separate top and staff need training tees. This is an example for planning the order, not a package, so list each garment, version and size separately. Check too whether youth and adult garments use the same artwork scale and whether any player needs different top and bottom sizes.

For a mid-season addition, send the original order reference and say exactly what must match: fit, fabric, crest, sponsor layout or all four. We check the fabric and branding options currently available before confirming a replacement date. A previous order is a useful reference, but it does not guarantee that everything used last time is still available.

What the club can send before every choice is settled

A first brief can give the sport, the garments, the approximate squad size, the required date and a photo or sample of a kit the club likes, with notes on what players want changed, such as a tighter collar or more room through the chest. Voyager Sportswear can review the fabric, pattern and branding with you. The club supplies correct size quantities and authorised artwork and names the person who approves the final specification. Until the size breakdown is ready for approval, keep provisional quantities clearly marked.

Questions and answers

Does a club squad of 20 players need 20 identical teamwear sets?

A squad of 20 players does not necessarily need 20 identical kit sets. Each player may need two jerseys and one pair of shorts, goalkeepers need a separate top and staff may wear training tees. List every garment, version and size as its own line. Confirm whether youth and adult garments use the same artwork scale and whether any player needs different top and bottom sizes.

Can a sponsor logo be added after the club jerseys are already printed?

A sponsor confirmed after the panels are printed needs a separate feasibility review, and adding the logo to finished garments is not automatically possible. A sponsor confirmed before printing goes into the panel artwork and is approved on the sample. The right to use the mark belongs to the club and the sponsor, so obtain a vector file and written placement approval before sampling.

Should spare club jerseys carry numbers or stay blank?

Spare club jerseys can either carry a number in the panel artwork or stay blank, and the club should decide before ordering. If the plan is to number spares later, confirm a suitable application method before the spare garments are ordered. Order the extra pieces with the squad, in the sizes that turn over most, and keep them at the club.
