VS Wear designs and manufactures custom sports uniforms for the cricket, rugby, soccer and basketball teams of Strathfield's schools and the alumni clubs that grow out of them, produced factory-direct at 30 to 40% below usual retail pricing and delivered on a guaranteed 3 to 4 week turnaround from design approval.

Strathfield adds a third case that neither column quite describes: a school and an alumni club ordering separately but wanting to look related. That works best as one artwork family quoted twice, because the two organisations have different approval paths, different calendars and almost no overlap in sizing.
The question a Strathfield school and its old boys' club both want answered is what related looks like when it is not identical. Photographs of finished work are the fastest way to see how far a design can shift and still obviously belong to the same family.

View the VS Wear GalleryThe Municipality of Strathfield held about 45,593 residents at the 2021 census. St Patrick's College, a Catholic boys' school in the suburb, competes in rugby union, cricket, baseball, soccer, swimming, basketball, softball, golf, athletics and tennis in the Independent Schools Association competition and against Athletic Association and Great Public Schools member schools. A cricket club formed by old boys of the college plays in the New South Wales church cricket competition, based mainly in western Sydney.
That pattern is common across Strathfield's independent schools and it produces a buying situation most suburbs do not have: two separate bodies, related by history, both wanting to look like themselves. Three things follow.
An alumni club that copies a school exactly ends up looking like a school team, which is not what its members want either. Shared colours with a distinct mark and a different structure keeps the lineage visible while letting the club be an adult organisation in its own right. That distinction matters more in the Municipality of Strathfield than in most places, because the two will be seen in the same suburb by the same people.
A club using a school's crest, name or colours needs the school's agreement, and that conversation is far easier before a design exists than after somebody has fallen in love with one. We can produce whatever you have the right to use, but the right itself is yours to obtain.
A school order runs from small junior sizes upward while an adult club order starts around where the school one finishes. The two can share a design and a supplier, but they cannot share a size profile, so quote them separately even when they are decided together. 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 colours and numbers.
VS Wear sells factory-direct, so the same premium quality lands 30 to 40% below usual retail pricing.
Production is guaranteed at 3 to 4 weeks from the day you approve the design.
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.
A Strathfield school program covering ten sports and an old boys' club playing one are wildly different orders by volume, and neither is quoted differently because of it. The rate per garment does not move with the size of the run.
That matters most for the smaller of the two. An old boys' side of twenty is not paying a premium for being twenty, which is usually the reason such clubs settle for plain gear from a catalogue instead.
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.
Send a school order to the school office and a club order to a person, because an alumni side that plays mainly in western Sydney has no reason for its gear to travel through a campus first. We also supply Camperdown and Annandale nearby, 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.
The school's agreement, in writing, before the design starts. As set out above, obtaining that permission is the club's job, and it is far easier to ask for before anybody has seen a mock-up.
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.
Share a family, not a design. Common colours with a distinct mark keeps the connection visible while letting the club look like the adult organisation it is.
Better to quote them separately. The approval paths and calendars differ, and the size profiles have almost no overlap even when the artwork is shared.
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.
Fewer than you think. One identity applied across garments usually covers the lot, with the sport-specific differences handled in cut rather than in artwork.
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 school office for a school order and a named person for a club one. An old boys' side playing its cricket in western Sydney gains nothing by routing gear through a Strathfield campus first.
No. VS Wear does not have a store or showroom in Strathfield. 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 Strathfield 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.
