Winter sport in this city runs to several calendars at once, because rugby league, football, netball and Australian football each answer to their own regional body rather than to a single Wollongong competition.
Production is guaranteed at 3 to 4 weeks from the day you approve the design. Design and approval sit in front of that, and how long they take is up to your committee, not us.
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.
So the first thing to establish is which calendar you are actually on. Once your own body's dates are known the arithmetic is simple, and the production window is the one fixed quantity in a city where nothing else lines up.
Every club that orders before registrations close ends up adding a few garments later. Photographs of finished work are where a committee can satisfy itself that a second run really does sit beside the first without anyone being able to pick which is which.

View the VS Wear GalleryWollongong's winter sport is organised by several separate regional bodies rather than one. Illawarra Junior Rugby League is based in the city and is affiliated with Illawarra Rugby League. Football South Coast is the governing body and competition organiser for football across the Illawarra and South Coast, running the Illawarra District League among its competitions. Netball is run club by club, with Southern Suburbs Netball Club providing courts for the 2026 season at the Berkeley outdoor netball courts. AFL South Coast covers Australian football across the same region.
That structure is normal for a regional city and invisible until you try to plan an order around it. Three things follow for a Wollongong committee.
There is no city-wide season start to work back from, so the useful number is the one your own competition publishes. A club that borrows a neighbouring code's timeline because the two share a suburb usually discovers the difference in March.
Numbers only firm up once fees are paid, and by then the space in front of round one has generally gone. Ordering on solid estimates and topping up afterwards puts gear on backs in week one, while waiting for certainty puts it there in week five.
Registrations that land after the order is placed are the normal case, not an exception. Because the approved files stay on record, those players are dressed by a short run that matches everything already delivered rather than by whatever spare happens to fit. 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.
Production is guaranteed at 3 to 4 weeks from the day you approve the design.
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 sells factory-direct, so the same premium quality lands 30 to 40% below usual retail pricing.
VS Wear is Australian owned and operated, and your order is looked after by our Australian-based team.
In a city where four bodies set four timetables, a guaranteed production window is the only date a committee can actually rely on. Everything else about the calendar is somebody else's decision.
The remake guarantee then covers the top-up runs that a staggered registration period makes inevitable. Every one of them is produced against the same approved files, so a player who signed on in May is not visibly a later addition.
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 it to a weekday address and distribute at training, because clubs here are spread along a narrow strip between the escarpment and the coast and a central drop is rarely central for anybody. We also supply the wider Illawarra and Shellharbour to the south, 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.
Your own competition's. Rugby league, football, netball and Australian football here are run by different regional bodies, so there is no shared Wollongong start date to borrow.
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.
Before. Waiting for final numbers usually costs more time than the uncertainty is worth, and the gap can be closed with a top-up rather than with a delayed first delivery.
They go on a short top-up run against the artwork already held, so the garments match what was delivered first. That is the normal pattern rather than a fix.
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.
One design, two timelines. The identity is drawn once and approved once, then each code orders against its own registration period rather than sharing a single deadline.
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.
A weekday address, then hand out at training. Clubs here sit along a narrow coastal strip, so a single central point is not central for very many members.
No. VS Wear does not have a store or showroom in Wollongong. 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 Wollongong 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.
All of them, including Shellharbour, Dapto, Corrimal, Thirroul and Berkeley, and south along the coast. The pages linked above cover several in detail and the rest are quoted on identical terms.
Find your own body's dates, send the grades and colours, and order on solid estimates. The late signings are a top-up, not a redesign.
