Talk to a few of the guys on here like Asad or CYK Sportswear about sourcing the gear, they could save you a lot of money. It all depends on how much you have to spend at the end of the day. Shirts and Caps are a good start, followed by Jumpers if the budget will allow. Don't worry about training gear at first, especially not at the expense of playing gear! Embroidery is more expensive but much nicer, again, it's really going to be down to cost....

My old club have been in a very similar position over the last few years. Gaining promotions and setting up a second XI, etc. I would say you treat your 1s and 2s the same in everything you do, that goes for any other sides in the club.

I would go for numbered shirts and caps. Ask the players to contribute and make up the difference.

I am being coached by a guy who supplies SS gear and he can get me everything 25% off and 2.50 for club logo and 2.50 for sponsor. Each SS shirt with the sponsor and club crest on will cost 24 pond. Does that sound reasonable? The sponsor is willing to give us up to 1200 quid so we are lucky.

So £19 + £5 for the logos yeah?

Sounds very expensive to me, a quick look on CYK Spotswears site and I found Surridge playing shirts for £7.......

seems alot to me. Embroidary/Sponsor logo at £2.50 fair enough. £19 for a shirt seems high.

Don't forget VAT @20% and don't pay upfront. plenty of guys selling kit on the side (hasten to add not on this forum) want upfront payment and then string you along for months. Most kit suppliers need anywhere up to 12 weeks to complete an order, so to receive your kit by April you'll need to order it asap.

Might be worth playing with this website and getting some comparison quotes - I'm not recommending them just suggesting they are pretty transparant with there pricing - http://www.crickethaven.co.uk/

Sublimated shirts are better than printed shirts as well. Printed are stuck on over the top, sublimated are printed into the material. Difference between wearing a giant bandage and not.

I think i am going to look around now. I went on crickethaven and although it is roughly 2 pound cheaper a shirt, I still think it would be better with SS logo on. I personally prefer grey nichols but i doubt that will happen :(

This a great site and the prices are so cheap but it isnt the latest SS gear. I think i would still prefer the more expensive playing shirt, if i can get a match sweater for a tenner instead of 30 or a training shirt for 5 instead of 20 then surely we should go for this site? Will it look tacky or not?

Be careful with the bolded section. Check with your league rules first, because my league doesn't allow names or numbers on shirts, caps or jumpers

I can get you top quality bespoke shirt done in your club colours inc embroided logo plus sponsered logo in one colour and number(Heat press) on the back for £20. Min order quantity =20. we can also supply rest of the clothing like training shirt,  jumper, track suits, hoodies etc  in the same design as the playing shirt. For an additional cost we can also do sublimation

Jumpers, it has to be! You want the logo appearing in as many photo's as you can....training tops and hoodies are all well and good but as soon as you start playing no one is going to see them....Jumpers....definitely.

Also, if the logo is on the playing shirts and not on the jumpers then what happens when it's cold? No one sees the logo on the shirts!  :D

training tops - can be used at nets during the net, pre-match practise and by guys sitting around during the game. Jumpers are ok but alot of guys don't wear them, even when it's cold, preferring skins. Jumpers only tend to come out in our changing room when it is very cold, which limits there use somewhat.
