Title: Teamwear Suppliers
Post by: Howzat on April 18, 2013, 01:06:54 PM
Waiting on teamwear at the moment got me thinking...Which suppliers have you used who you would recommend and who have you used that you wouldn't recommend?

We use Kukri and use this website to do it all through. Great kit and good prices too - http://www.teamshopbuilder.co.uk/welcome (http://www.teamshopbuilder.co.uk/welcome)

Kukri are excellent, we switched to them two years ago and have been delighted with the product, prices and service.  Previously we used MKK who produce good quality kit, but the range of designs available is a lot more limited than Kukri who have an amazing number of options.

Don't forget about Uzi Sports as they have some excellent quality and variations on clothing and I know they offer some great deals.

How does it work with kukri, is there any minimum order? Team kit is something I've wanted to look into for our midweek side but never got round to it. I've had a quick look at kukri and a few of the existing design would suit us, is it just a matter of sending them a image of your in logo and then people can order after that?

Can you customise the shirts to add names on the back and other stuff?

We deal with Martin Berrill and get Hunts County stuff, it's ok I guess.

Steve @ Cricket Box is pretty decent, supplies Surridge gear which is good quality as you probably know.

Sorted my club out with whites from Aswani - really highly recommended. The quality is very good and happy to deal with any queries. Have got a clubshop sorted out for us as well which means we can order anything at anytime we want. Also, the leisure wear is fantastic - much better than I had hoped for. Give Arvind a call, top bloke to deal with!

I'm not sure as someone else at the club set it up, but as far as I know, you upload your logo, or different versions depending whether you want it reversed out on different colours etc and choose the products you want the people from you club to be able to choose from. They've got a huge range of styles and it's all really well made.

Can you customise the shirts to add names on the back and other stuff?

Yes you can do that, we've gone for embroidered initials on the sleeves and printed letters on the back - I'm sure they can do almost any type of personalisation.

We use a company called Kalibazar who set up an online club shop for you to shop with. You can set you own prices above the rrp and any extra gets paid back to the club.
They use Surridge as a kit supplier and the quality is excellent. I highly recommend them.

Here is our club shop

There is no minimum order either which is a bonus!
Interesting that Kukri has been mentioned. We used tem for a season or two and found the quality really poor, particularly with the jumpers. I guess they have improved but we moved on as we were not impressed.

We use Kukri for our club kit, the quality is lower than our old North Gear kit (which I highly recommend) and I dislike our Kukri kit because its bright white rather than the traditional cream, but that's just me moaning!

We use Kukri as well. High quality standard of clothing, found sizings  a bit generous thought and it took ages for our first order to come through, which was quite a hassle

I'm going to put it out there that I think North Gear is a of higher standard (although we might be saying that as a club because we want the cream whites back) and more generous size wise. Can't fault either, I just prefer North Gear colour and comfort wise  :)

Not arguing with you mate, never had any North Gear kit, just sharing my experience! :)

We use Surridge gear, but I'm not sure who did the Club-isation of the kit.

we have surridge kit and have it done by a embroidery/clothing company Tylers which is used by numerous clubs - they run a web shop for us too.

Prices seem to be the same as most other places/companies who offer a similar service -  about £24 for a shirt.
They also do canterbury kit aswell.
They are worth considering.

We have switched to Surridge Kit this year, the online shop is run by Spell Sports.

We moved to MKK this year, awaiting delivery of our custom stuff having seen samples that were very good quality.

Had a slight hiccup on the embroidery proof where one letter was a bit poor but that's since been sorted

I played in England last season, we had Fearnley as our kit supplier, pretty good kit tbh.

Wish Australian clubs were more like english ones in terms of kit etc, the standard and pride in of that sort of thing is almost non existent.
