For a Glebe club the mock-up line is the one to use hardest, because the thing being checked is unusual. Ask to see the back of the garment rather than the front, since that is the view every coach, official and rival crew on Blackwattle Bay actually gets.
Almost every uniform photograph is taken from the front, which is the one view a crew on Blackwattle Bay never gets. Finished work is worth looking at with that in mind: how the mark sits across the back, and how much of it survives at distance.

View the VS Wear GalleryGlebe Rowing Club is a community club on Blackwattle Bay with a focus on novice, women's and social rowing and a learn-to-row program, and it has around 224 members. It shares that water with a university women's rowing club and the Blackwattle Bay Dragon Boat Club, and local water sports clubs have given the community access to the bay for well over 150 years. Forest Lodge and Ultimo sit immediately around it, inside the City of Sydney.
A field sport is watched from the side and from the front. A crew on Blackwattle Bay is watched from astern, from a following boat, at distance and against glare, which changes three things about how the apparel should be drawn.
The chest is the least useful surface a rowing or paddling club owns, because almost nobody sees it while the boat is moving. Coaches, officials and every other crew are looking at backs, so that is where the club name and the mark earn their place.
Colours behave differently over a bright surface than they do on grass or on a screen, and three organisations share this stretch of water. Settling separation at the mock-up stage is quick, free and the only sensible time to do it.
A learn-to-row program brings people in all year rather than at one registration point, so a club here is ordering small batches indefinitely. Held artwork makes every one of those runs match the last, which matters more than it would at a club that kits up once a season. A club still deciding in February is fitting design, approval and the 3 to 4 week production window into its busiest registration weeks. Send us your colours and numbers.
Professional design is free, drawn by our in-house team from your colours, logo and ideas.
Once your order is placed, mock-up revisions are unlimited right through to design approval.
Every order carries our 100% remake guarantee: finished garments that do not match the approved artwork or production files are remade at our cost.
VS Wear is Australian owned and operated, and your order is looked after by our Australian-based team.
A catalogue is no help to a City of Sydney water club whose design problem is where the mark sits and how far away it has to read. Having designers in house is what lets that conversation happen at all, rather than choosing a template and hoping.
The approved file then holds the answer permanently. A club adding ten garments every few months for new members is producing from the same artwork each time, which is the only way a group that grows continuously still looks like one club on the water.
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.
A boatshed is a better delivery address than most sporting venues, because somebody is usually there early in the morning and again in the evening. We also supply Annandale and Balmain around the same shoreline, 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 trying to specify a colour exactly can start with our free Pantone colour guide, which explains how to name a shade so it comes back the same every run.
Across the back, at the largest size the garment will carry. The chest is the surface nobody sees once a boat is moving away from them.
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.
Settle it at the mock-up. Bring the other clubs' colours to the design conversation and use the revision stage to push yours somewhere they cannot be confused at distance.
Yes, and usually less kindly. Bright surfaces flatten mid-tones, so contrast that looks sufficient indoors often needs strengthening before approval.
Three to four weeks from design approval. 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.
With small top-up runs against held artwork. Every batch is produced from the same approved files, so somebody who joined last month matches somebody who joined last year.
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.
The boatshed, if your club has one. It is occupied at both ends of the day, which is more than can be said for most sporting addresses.
No. VS Wear does not have a store or showroom in Glebe. 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 Glebe clubs get the same free design service, the same 3 to 4 week turnaround and the same Australian-based support as any other order in the country.
