VS Wear supplies fully sublimated custom sports uniforms, event and volunteer wear to the clubs, schools and organising committees working in Bowen Hills and across inner northern Brisbane, produced factory-direct at 30 to 40% below usual retail pricing and delivered on a guaranteed 3 to 4 week turnaround from design approval.
Every garment is fully sublimated and drawn to your club's own colours and logo, from a minimum of 20 units per design.
In a suburb built around Perry Park and the Brisbane Showgrounds, the order is usually a playing uniform plus everything the people running the day are wearing.
Home and away strips, goalkeeper sets, socks and training gear for the sides playing at Perry Park and the grounds around inner northern Brisbane. See our soccer uniforms range.
Sublimated polos and tees for the volunteers, officials and gate staff who make a Brisbane Showgrounds event run, in one colourway so the public can find them. See our custom cotton polos and tees.
Polos, bags and supporter gear on the same artwork as the team range, which is what a carnival or a show weekend actually sells and hands out. See our supporter polos range.
House colours, carnival gear and representative team uniforms for the school squads that travel into the inner north for a competition day. See our school sports uniform range.
Spray jackets, hoodies and warm-up layers for long days on an open site, drawn from the same approved artwork as the playing gear. Browse our off-field wear range.
Team and event caps in club colours, which get more wear than anything else on an outdoor Queensland show day in August.
Around Bowen Hills the equivalent of round one is usually an event date. Winter sport runs roughly March to September here, but the Brisbane Showgrounds calendar carries more than 250 events a year and none of those days moves.
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 practical order-by moment here is not the start of a season, it is the point at which the production window still finishes comfortably in front of your fixed date, with the approval stage in front of that again.
An event order is judged on the group rather than the garment: whether players, officials and volunteers read as one operation from across a Brisbane Showgrounds pavilion or a Perry Park sideline. That is easiest to assess from a large body of finished work.

View the VS Wear GalleryBowen Hills sits three kilometres north-east of the Brisbane CBD and is light industry, rail yards and event infrastructure rather than a residential club suburb. The Brisbane Showgrounds are here, hosting more than 250 events a year with the Royal Queensland Show as the largest, held each August. Perry Park, the suburb's sporting ground, is owned by Brisbane City Council and managed by the YMCA, who run the facilities in the complex. Between them they generate a steady stream of fixed dates.
A club season is forgiving. A round can be washed out and played later, and a uniform that arrives in week three still gets twenty weeks of use. An event day is not forgiving at all: it happens once, on the day printed on the ticket, and gear that arrives the following week is gear you paid for and never wore. The guaranteed 3 to 4 week production window has to finish in front of that date, not around it, and the approval stage sits in front of the window again.
For a club, a missing size gets sorted out over a fortnight. For a one-day event it does not get sorted out at all, so the sensible approach is a slightly deeper size run in the same production run rather than an exact count. Junior and adult sizes go into the same production run, under one approved design, which makes that easy to do without a second order.
Volunteers, officials, gate staff and stallholders all need to be identifiable, and at a large event that group is bigger than the teams. Putting them in sublimated polos or cotton tees on the same colours as the team range costs less than most committees expect and makes the whole operation look organised, which is worth something to sponsors as well as to the public.
Uniforms are designed and produced centrally, then freighted to whichever address your club nominates. We supply clubs, associations and schools across that whole footprint. One warning specific to this suburb: an event venue is the worst possible delivery address, because it is staffed for the event and not before it. Send the consignment to the organising office, a school or a workplace, well ahead of the day. We also supply Chermside Valley to the north and East Brisbane across the river, along with the wider Brisbane metro, and the full list of Queensland cities we service covers the rest of the state.
Committees pricing several grades at once can start with our free custom team uniforms guide, which covers sizing and artwork for multi-team orders.
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.
The first of those is the whole argument in an events suburb. When a committee is signing off gear for a day that has been in the calendar for a year, the question it is actually asking is whether the supplier's date holds. A guaranteed production window from the moment of approval, with the approval stage entirely in your own hands, is what lets that committee commit without carrying the risk itself.
Start at least six to eight weeks out. Production is guaranteed at 3 to 4 weeks from design approval, and the stage in front of it, drawing and approving the mock-up, is the part that varies. Committees that approve early almost always land comfortably; the ones that run tight are the ones still discussing colours a fortnight before the day.
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.
Yes, and for an event at the Brisbane Showgrounds that is often the bigger half of the order. Sublimated polos, cotton polos and tees can carry the same colours and logo as the team range so everyone on site reads as one group, and each design needs to clear the 20 unit minimum.
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.
To your own address rather than the venue. Event sites are staffed for the event itself, so a consignment arriving days earlier has nowhere to sit. Nominate the organising office, a school or a workplace and hand the gear out before you travel in.
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.
Yes. Supporter polos, bags and off-field lines are drawn from the same approved artwork, so a merchandise run for a show weekend matches what the team is wearing on the field. Each individual design still needs to reach 20 units.
More than you would for a season. A club can chase a missing size over a fortnight, an event cannot, so a slightly deeper run through the middle sizes is cheap insurance and costs nothing extra in production time when it goes through with the original order.
No. VS Wear does not have a store or showroom in Bowen Hills. 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 Bowen Hills 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.
Yes. Bowen Hills primary and secondary schools order house sport colours, representative team uniforms and PE gear on the same factory-direct terms as the clubs, and a single year group usually clears the 20 unit minimum.
