In Shellharbour the third answer is the one that gets used hardest. Several clubs here carry two suburb names, which means a design has to satisfy two groups of members before it goes anywhere, and an unlimited revision stage is what makes that a conversation rather than a standoff.
A committee arguing about a strip in the abstract will keep arguing. Photographs of finished club gear move the discussion onto something concrete, which is usually all it takes for two halves of an Albion Park or Lake Illawarra club to agree on what they actually want.

View the VS Wear GalleryShellharbour City had 76,271 residents at the 2021 census and an estimated 81,566 by 2024, and its clubs are named for the places they came from as often as for a single suburb. The Albion Park-Oak Flats Eagles are based at Albion Park, the Warilla-Lake South Gorillas play out of Cec Glenholmes Oval at Lake Illawarra, and alongside them sit Shellharbour Junior FC, Shellharbour Cricket Club, the Shellharbour City Sharks, a Lake Illawarra athletics club and a Shellharbour surf life saving club. Shellharbour City Council converts cricket grounds into competition-ready fields for rugby league, Australian football, football and netball between seasons.
A hyphenated club name is a record of a merger, and the communities behind both halves are usually still there. In a Shellharbour City club that changes where the risk in a uniform decision sits, because the price is straightforward and the agreement is not.
A compromise that everybody has seen and signed off can be defended at a general meeting. One that arrives already produced cannot, and the difference costs nothing at the revision stage while it costs a season afterwards.
Approval is where a two-name club stalls, because nobody wants to be the person who chose. Naming that person before the design starts is more useful than any amount of discussion about colours, and the guaranteed production window does not begin until they sign.
Once it is approved, the artwork is what the garments are measured against and what any later top-up is produced from. That protects a committee twice over: what was agreed is what arrives, and it is still what arrives in three years when the people who agreed it have moved on. A club still deciding in February is fitting design, approval and the guaranteed 3 to 4 week production window into its busiest registration weeks. Send us your grades and colours.

VS Wear is Australian owned and operated, and your order is looked after by our Australian-based team.
The risk a Shellharbour City committee is weighing is social rather than financial. Getting the gear wrong in a club drawn from two suburbs is not an accounting problem, it is a conversation somebody will be having at the canteen for the rest of the year.
Free design and unlimited revisions move that conversation to the point where changing something is free, and the remake guarantee covers the part nobody can argue about afterwards, which is whether the garments match what was approved.
Uniforms are designed and produced centrally, then freighted to whichever address your club or school nominates, whether that is a clubhouse, a home ground or a school office.
Pick one weekday address rather than the ground, because a field that is being converted between codes is not a reliable place for a consignment to sit. We also supply Wollongong to the north and the wider Illawarra, and the full list of New South Wales cities we service covers the rest of the state through our New South Wales cities directory.
Committees pricing several grades at once can start with our free custom team uniforms guide, which covers sizing and artwork for multi-team orders.
Bring both into the revision stage rather than the announcement. Unlimited revisions mean a design can absorb an objection from either half before anything is produced, which is when changing it is free.
VS Wear designs and manufactures fully sublimated custom sports uniforms for clubs, schools, associations and corporate teams: playing kit, training gear, warm-ups and off-field wear across the football codes, netball, basketball, cricket and soccer. Every order is produced factory-direct and shipped Australia-wide.
One named person who can speak for both sides of the name. Approval is the step that starts the guaranteed production window, so leaving it undecided is what actually costs a club time.
That is exactly what approving carefully prevents. What we guarantee is that the garments match the approved artwork, so the design conversation belongs before production rather than after it.
Three to four weeks from design approval, guaranteed. The design and revision stage sits in front of that, and how long it takes depends on how quickly your committee signs off the mock-up.
Only the delivery. Council converts these fields between codes, so send the consignment to a person rather than to a ground that may be mid-changeover when it arrives.
The minimum order is 20 units per design. Adult and junior sizes can share the one production run, so a single side with its coaching staff generally clears it.
Send it to a weekday address in the city and hand out at training, because a club drawing members from Albion Park, Warilla and Lake Illawarra will get gear onto more backs in one evening than a ground drop manages in a fortnight.
No. VS Wear does not have a store or showroom in Shellharbour. Every order is designed and produced centrally, then freighted to the address you nominate, whether that is a clubroom or a school office. That model is what holds pricing 30 to 40% below usual retail, and it means Shellharbour clubs get the same free design service, the same guaranteed 3 to 4 week turnaround and the same Australian-based support as any other order in the country.
We quote and deliver to all of them, including Albion Park, Oak Flats, Warilla, Lake Illawarra and Dapto, and north to Wollongong. The pages linked above cover several in detail and the rest are quoted on identical terms.
Name the person who approves, send the colours from both sides of the club, and let the revision stage do the arguing. None of it costs anything until you commit.
Quick and easy. No payment details, no obligation.
