Custom club and team sportswear label

Local sports clubs, school teams, social leagues and community groups ordering team kits.

You charge a price per garment or per kit that covers the factory cost plus your margin. Clubs often pay a deposit upfront and the balance on delivery.

• Design or working with a designer
• Selling to clubs and committees
• Managing orders and deadlines
• Checking product quality

• Minimum order quantities and long lead times, which can clash with club season deadlines
• Wrong sizes and colour mismatches, so get approved samples and sign-off before full production
• Check Australian Consumer Law obligations on product quality and refunds
• Check labelling requirements for textiles and care labels with the ACCC
• Only use logos and club emblems you have permission to reproduce
• Check if you need public liability or product liability insurance

As an estimate, startup costs are typically around $2,000 to $10,000, depending on design work, samples, minimum order quantities and insurance. Costs vary with how many clubs you take on at the start.

Things to check include Australian Consumer Law obligations on product quality and refunds, textile and care labelling requirements with the ACCC, permission to reproduce club logos and emblems, and whether you need public liability or product liability insurance.

As an estimate, monthly revenue is typically around $1,000 to $8,000, depending on how many clubs order and when seasons start. Expect at least about 8 hours a week, with busier periods ahead of club deadlines.
