VS Wear designs and manufactures custom sports uniforms for the rugby league, AFL, netball, cricket and softball teams of Mount Isa and north west Queensland, produced factory-direct at 30 to 40% below usual retail pricing and delivered on a guaranteed 3 to 4 week turnaround from design approval.
A season here runs from February to November, so we quote it as nine months of wear rather than a winter block.
The city carries over 70 sporting teams and organisations, with team and individual sports running right through the year.
Jerseys, shorts, socks, training tops and reserves gear for the five clubs fielding sides at junior and senior level. Browse our rugby uniforms range.
Guernseys, shorts, socks and clash strips for the Mount Isa Tigers, the Mount Isa Rovers and the Buffaloes. Browse our AFL uniforms range.
Dresses, bodysuits, bibs and warm-ups for Panthers, Allsorts and the other clubs of the Mount Isa Amateur Netball Association. Browse our netball uniforms range.
Whites, coloured one-day gear, playing shirts and caps for one of the city's long-established codes. Browse our cricket uniforms range.
Jerseys, knickerbockers, caps and jackets for a code that is played here and rarely gets a proper custom run. Browse our softball uniforms range.
Hoodies, jackets, polos and supporter gear for nine months of fixtures, a good share of them played at night. Browse our off-field wear range.
The things clubs usually get charged extra for are already in the price.
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.
Production is guaranteed at 3 to 4 weeks from the day you approve the design. The minimum order is 20 units per design.
For a club here the third line on that list is the one that pays. A rugby league club fielding sides at junior and senior level puts its under 8s and its A grade men and women into one approval and one run, which matters far more when the alternative is two deliveries into north west Queensland. Committees that add reserves and spares to that same run save themselves the whole exercise nine months later.
Worth looking for: how a set still reads as one uniform when it is the same set in round two and in round twenty two, which is the honest test of anything ordered here.

View the VS Wear GalleryFive clubs play in the Mount Isa Rugby League competition at both junior and senior level, with men's and women's A grade sides at the top of it, and both the junior and the senior competitions run from February through to November. There are day matches and night matches at both levels. The league operates out of Alec Inch Oval. Whatever a club approves in January is still being pulled on in the second week of November.
A junior who registers in February is a size bigger by the back end of the season, so committees here should build the size run against where the players finish rather than where they start. That is a decision made once, at quote stage, and it is free to make correctly.
Day and night fixtures mean a set gets worn far more often across those nine months than a single-fixture-a-week club would wear it, and replacements are the thing clubs chase in August. Ordering the spares alongside the first run means the club never has to solve that problem in the middle of a season.
The Buffaloes run Australian football and netball out of the same organisation, which means one committee is approving guernseys and dresses in the same conversation. Both go into one production run under one approval, so the club is not managing two separate jobs on two separate timelines. Send us both code lists at once.
Athletics, gymnastics, tennis, field hockey, football, rugby union and Australian rules are all commonly played here, alongside shooting, squash, softball, basketball, BMX racing and ten-pin bowling. Plenty of those bodies run to their own calendar, which is the other reason no single month here is quiet.
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.
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 is Australian owned and operated, and your order is looked after by our Australian-based team.
Five clubs in one league is a small enough field that every side sees every other side several times a year, so the design question here is separation rather than fashion. A number that reads across a paddock at night is worth more than a clever pattern that does not.
Clubs bring us the colours they have always worn and ask us to make them work against the other four. That is a drawing exercise, it is included, and we will redraw it as often as the committee needs before anything is produced.
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.
Mount Isa sits roughly 900 kilometres west of the coast at Townsville and about 1,800 kilometres from Brisbane, so committees here plan the freight leg into the timeline rather than treating it as an afterthought. We build that into what we tell you at quote stage. We also supply Townsville on the coast east of here and Cairns further north, and the full list of Queensland cities we service covers the rest of the state through our Queensland cities directory.
Softball sides working out a first custom order can start with our free custom softball uniforms guide, which covers garment choices and sizing.
Against registration close, which for most clubs here means the design conversation happens over December and January. Waiting for a quiet stretch does not work when the competition occupies three quarters of the year.
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.
Up front. Spares added to the first run cost you one design approval and one delivery; a top-up in August costs you another of each, and the second one has a long way to travel.
Size against the back half of the season rather than round one, and put the whole club into one run so the bigger sizes are already there. Adult and junior sizes go into the same production run at no extra cost.
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. Guernseys and netball dresses can be quoted and produced together under a single approval, and doing it that way keeps both codes on the same timeline. Each design still needs to clear the 20 unit minimum on its own.
Yes. Mount Isa 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.
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.
No. VS Wear does not have a store or showroom in Mount Isa. 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 Mount Isa 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.
We deliver right across the region and well beyond it. We supply clubs at Townsville and Cairns, and we quote sides ordering out of Cloncurry, Camooweal and the smaller communities along the highway. The pages linked above cover the coastal centres in detail and everywhere else is quoted on identical terms.
Send one side or send the whole club. Either way the answer comes back with a firm price and a firm date, and there is nothing to pay to find out.
Send the garments, numbers and colours for a single side. The minimum order is 20 units per design.
Quote every grade in one pass. Production is guaranteed at 3 to 4 weeks from the day you approve the design.
Quick and easy. No payment details, no obligation.
