Club Teamwear Order Checklist
A supplier-ready checklist for clubs ordering custom teamwear, kits, sponsor apparel, fan merchandise, and seasonal reorders.
A club teamwear order starts with an approved roster, artwork and deadline. Keep them in one versioned brief so a revised sponsor logo or player size cannot silently change the order after approval.
1. Create the order roster
Use one row per wearer or clearly identified allocation. Record the following fields before asking for a quote:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Team or group | Squad, academy age group, staff or supporter allocation |
| Product | Match jersey, shorts, training top or another specific item |
| Size and fit | Size from that product’s chart, chosen fit and sample checked |
| Personalization | Exact spelling, number and any role-specific artwork |
| Quantity | Units per person or allocation, including explicitly approved spares |
| Approval | Who checked the row and the roster version they approved |
Collect only the personal information needed to fulfill the order. Keep youth-player records and individual delivery details in the authorized ordering workflow, not in a public design brief.
2. Approve the artwork and placement plan
Gather the club badge, sponsor marks and required permissions. Identify which logo version goes on each product and where it belongs. Record print dimensions, colors and any competition-specific rules that the club must verify. A reference photo helps explain intent but does not establish permission to reproduce someone else’s design.
3. Confirm the physical product
Check the garment-specific size chart and ask which samples are available. Record material, fit, decoration and any differences between adult, youth or other product variants. Do not assume that the same size label means the same measurements across products.
4. Work backward from the in-hand date
Share the destination and the date the club must actually receive the goods. Ask for a schedule covering the quote, digital proof, required technical checks, any required or selected production sample, approvals, production and transport. Identify one approval owner and a backup contact. A late change needs a new feasibility check; it is not automatically covered by an earlier delivery estimate.
5. Freeze the approved version
Before proceeding, reconcile roster totals with the quote, approve the exact digital proof and genuine production sample, and record the accepted commercial terms. Keep the final artwork, size allocation and product specification for later reorders. Current availability, price, minimum quantity and timing must still be reconfirmed for a new order.

Club Teamwear Order Checklist FAQ
What should clubs include in a teamwear order brief?
Include product types, quantities, sizes, variants, club colors, logo files, sponsor placements, names or numbers, budget, approval owners, delivery address, and required in-hand date.
Why do sizes and variants matter before requesting quotes?
Sizes and variants affect inventory, production, decoration, pricing, delivery timing, and reorder accuracy. Suppliers quote more consistently when those inputs are clear.
