For a Central Highlands club the words that matter in the second column are "and off-field wear". A competition where the nearest opponent outside your own town is an hour up the highway turns travel gear from a nice extra into part of the playing equipment, and it costs far less inside the same quote than as a separate order in June.
Committees usually underestimate how much of a club's appearance happens off the field, particularly one that travels. Photographs of complete orders show the jackets, polos and bags alongside the playing kit, which is what a visiting side actually looks like when it arrives.

View the VS Wear GalleryEmerald had a population of 14,904 at the 2021 census, and its rugby league is played in a nine-club regional competition contested across men's and women's grades. Two of those clubs, Emerald Brothers and Emerald Tigers, are based in this town. The rest are spread across the Central Highlands: Blackwater Crushers at Hinricks Oval in Blackwater, Springsure Mountain Men at Bauhinia Park in Springsure, along with Bluff Rabbitohs, Clermont Bears, Dysart Bulls, Middlemount Panthers and Peak Downs Pirates. Central Highlands Junior Rugby League and a junior rugby union association run alongside the senior competition.
Once you look at where the nine clubs actually are, the shape of a Central Highlands order changes. Three things follow.
Gear here spends the season in bags and cars rather than hanging in a clubhouse. Jackets, polos and warm layers are what a club is seen in for the hours either side of a fixture, which makes them part of the uniform rather than merchandise, and they belong in the same order as the playing kit. A side arriving at Hinricks Oval or Bauhinia Park has been visible in that gear since it left Emerald, and it will be visible in it again all the way home.
The competition runs both across all nine clubs, so a club needing two fits should have both drawn at the mock-up rather than adding the second later. Doing it in one pass keeps a single identity and avoids the women's side inheriting a design that was only ever tested on one cut. It also means one sizing exercise rather than two, which in a town where the junior league and the junior union association are both drawing on the same families is worth more than the money it saves.
Emerald Brothers and Emerald Tigers are the only two clubs in this competition that do not have to drive to reach each other, which makes them the only two that can realistically share a sizing day. Doing it once rather than twice a fortnight apart saves the scarcest thing either committee has, and neither club gives up anything of its own in the process. 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.
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.
Same price at any size is the line that decides things out here. A club in a Central Highlands town of a few thousand people is quoted exactly as a metropolitan club is, so distance from a capital city costs nothing and neither does being small.
What that leaves a committee to manage is timing rather than price, which is the part it can actually control.
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.
Bring one consignment into Emerald and hand it out at training rather than sending separate drops to the smaller towns, because the run out to Springsure or Capella is a normal week for a club member and an expensive leg for a courier. We also supply Gladstone and Rockhampton on the coast, and the full list of Queensland cities we service covers the rest of the state through our Queensland 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.
Jackets, polos and warm layers, in the same order rather than later. A travelling side is seen in its off-field gear for longer than it is seen in its jerseys.
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.
One quote, both fits. Having them drawn together at the mock-up stage keeps a single club identity instead of the second side inheriting a design tested on one cut only.
Yes. Several clubs can be quoted and produced in one pass while each keeps its own artwork, which improves pricing for the smallest of them. Each design still needs to clear the 20 unit minimum on its own.
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.
Over the summer, so everything is in hand before round one. There is no gentle local start to a competition where the first away trip can be an hour or more each way.
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.
One address in Emerald, then distribute at training. Sending separate drops to Springsure or Capella costs more than the drive does.
No. VS Wear does not have a store or showroom in Emerald. 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 Emerald 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 Blackwater, Springsure, Capella, Clermont and Middlemount, and east to Rockhampton and Gladstone. The pages linked above cover several in detail and the rest are quoted on identical terms.
Send the grades, both fits and the colours, and add the travel gear while you are at it. One pass, one production run, one look on the road.
Quick and easy. No payment details, no obligation.
