Sport is the heartbeat of Mackay. The region has a rich history of producing rugby league legends, cricketers, and athletes who punch well above their weight. From the roar of the crowd supporting the Mackay Cutters to the grassroots clubs battling it out at the Junior Rugby League grounds, the passion is undeniable. VS Wear is proud to support this sporting powerhouse by manufacturing professional-grade custom sportswear that helps local clubs look and perform like champions. We understand that playing sport in Mackay brings a specific challenge: humidity. The tropical climate means athletes sweat more, and heavy, cheap fabrics just don’t cut it.
We utilise advanced technical fabrics that are ultra-lightweight, breathable, and hydrophobic. This “Cool-Dry” technology actively pulls sweat away from the body and dries rapidly, preventing the “heavy jersey” feeling that drags players down in the second half. Our state-of-the-art sublimation printing technology is perfect for Mackay clubs. Unlike traditional screen printing which creates a “plastic” layer that blocks sweat from escaping, sublimation infuses the ink directly into the fabric fibres. This keeps the garment breathable and ensures your club colours—whether it’s the maroon and gold or the blue and white—remain vibrant and sharp, resisting the fading power of the tropical sun. You can include unlimited sponsor logos, intricate indigenous designs, and custom player names without adding any weight to the garment. With our incredibly fast 3-4 week turnaround, we ensure your team is ready for the first whistle, not waiting for gear to arrive from down south.

Mackay is the service hub for the Bowen Basin, one of the world’s largest coal reserves, and sits in the heart of Australia’s sugar industry. This unique economic mix requires workwear that is exceptionally tough, compliant, and comfortable. VS Wear provides professional workwear solutions tailored to this demanding environment. For the mining and resources sector, we offer heavy-duty, compliant workwear that meets the strict safety standards of Tier 1 mine sites. We know that safety is the number one priority, so our gear meets all relevant Australian Standards (AS/NZS 4602.1) for high visibility.
However, compliance isn’t enough; comfort is critical in the tropics. Our “Cool-Breeze” work shirts feature strategically placed mesh vents under the arms and across the upper back to maximise airflow and manage heat stress, a serious risk in the region. For the sugar mills, agriculture, and local trades, we offer durable drill clothing that resists tearing and abrasion. For the hospitality and retail businesses in the CBD and Caneland Central, presentation is paramount. We supply stylish, branded uniforms that help local businesses present a professional image. With our rapid 3-4 week delivery to regional QLD, you don’t have to suffer the long delays often associated with remote ordering. Call 1800 845 056 to discuss your business needs.

Yes, we use the Pantone Matching System (PMS) to ensure your new gear matches your club’s traditional colours perfectly. Whether it’s for a historic league club or a new netball team, we ensure continuity.
Is your workwear breathable enough for the summer humidity?
Definitely. We highly recommend our vented “Cool-Breeze” cotton drill shirts and lightweight micromesh polos for our Mackay clients. They are designed to maximise airflow and keep you cool during the hottest months.
Do you offer sponsorship printing on jerseys?

Can we get individual names on training shirts?
Yes, personalised training gear is very popular. We can add individual names or nicknames to training tees and singlets, which is great for building team spirit and ownership.
