Next year's top-up still matches

Custom sports uniforms for Bairnsdale and East Gippsland clubs

VS Wear designs and manufactures custom sports uniforms for the netball, soccer, football, hockey and cricket clubs of Bairnsdale and the wider Shire of East Gippsland, produced factory-direct at 30 to 40% below usual retail pricing and delivered on a 3 to 4 week turnaround from design approval.

Junior-heavy clubs get the sizing depth they actually need, and we hold your artwork so next year's top-up run matches this year's gear. Minimum 20 units per design.

Getting The Timing Right

Working back from round one

The 2026 Gippsland League season starts on Saturday 11 April with finals from the final weekend of August, so a club wanting gear on backs in round one is working design and approval through January and February.

Production takes 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.

3-4 Weeks from design approval
20 Unit minimum per design
30-40% Below usual retail pricing

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.

For a junior club the sizing run is the step that decides the schedule. Bodies change over a summer, so measurements taken in October are not the ones you want to order from in March, and the useful sequence is to design early, then size late.

See The Work

See how a junior set actually looks

Junior sizing is where a design either holds together or falls apart. A logo scaled for an adult back can swallow a size 6 top, and the only reliable way to judge that is to look at finished work rather than a flat mock-up.

Sport In Bairnsdale

Fourteen hundred players on one site

Bairnsdale is the commercial centre of East Gippsland and the seat of the Shire of East Gippsland, about 280 kilometres east of Melbourne, with a census population of 17,534 in 2021 inside a shire of 48,715 people spread across 20,940 square kilometres. Its multi-code home is the WORLD Sporting Precinct: eight netball courts, two hockey pitches, two soccer pitches and two pavilions on a single site. When fully built the precinct is planned to home more than 750 netballers, 630 soccer players and 50 hockey players, and most of them are juniors.

A junior headcount changes the order, not just the design

Those numbers describe a membership that is physically changing between one season and the next, which is a different buying problem from the one an adult club has. Three things follow from it.

Order across a wider size range

A junior club's size curve is nothing like an adult one. The volume sits in the small and middle sizes and the tails run further in both directions, so build the order that way and keep the spares where the guesses go wrong rather than spreading them evenly.

Growth drives the reorder, not wear

Players here outgrow gear long before they wear it out, which means a top-up run every year rather than a full replacement every third one. Held artwork is what makes that work: the new sizes come off the same approved files, so a garment bought twelve months apart from its neighbour still matches on the court.

Three codes on one site can quote as one

Netball, hockey and soccer committees sharing a precinct have a lever the individual clubs do not. Quoting together lifts the smallest of the three, and hockey with 50 players benefits most from being priced alongside a code with 750. A club still deciding in February is fitting design, approval and the 3 to 4 week production window into its busiest registration weeks. Send us your grades and colours.

The seven clubs of the East Gippsland Football Netball League, Bairnsdale, Lakes Entrance, Lindenow, Lucknow, Orbost Snowy Rovers, Paynesville and Wy Yung, sit alongside all of that, with Bairnsdale Football Netball Club playing out of Bairnsdale City Oval on McArthur Street in the Gippsland League. Between the football clubs and the precinct codes, one regional town is dressing more teams than most outer suburbs of Melbourne.

Why Clubs Choose VS Wear

A guarantee you can put to the committee

Made in 3 to 4 weeks

Production takes 3 to 4 weeks from the day you approve the design.

The result is guaranteed

Every order carries our 100% remake guarantee: finished garments that do not match the approved artwork or production files are remade at our cost.

The price is the price

VS Wear sells factory-direct, so the same premium quality lands 30 to 40% below usual retail pricing.

Someone here answers

VS Wear is Australian owned and operated, and your order is looked after by our Australian-based team.

For a club buying the same design again every year as its juniors grow, the remake guarantee is the one that matters. Every later run is produced against the approved files, and anything that misses is remade at our cost.

That is what stops a squad looking like three different clubs by its third season.

Where We Deliver

Delivery to Bairnsdale and East Gippsland

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.

Players of a VS Wear customer club wearing custom sublimated cricket uniforms

At 280 kilometres east of Melbourne, one consolidated drop to a single nominated address is worth more here than several small ones, and a shire of 20,940 square kilometres means the last leg to Omeo or Orbost is usually a club member's boot rather than a courier. We also supply Warragul and Morwell further down the highway, and the full list of Victorian cities we service covers the rest of the state through our Victoria 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.

Bairnsdale FAQs

Questions East Gippsland clubs ask us

Most of our players are juniors. How should we size the order?

Wider than an adult order and weighted low. Put the volume in the small and middle sizes, run the tails further in both directions, and keep the spares where the guesses actually go wrong.

What custom uniforms does VS Wear supply?

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.

Our players outgrow gear inside a season. What about top-ups?

Small runs against held artwork, which is the normal pattern for a junior club rather than the exception. The replacement sizes are produced from the same approved files, so they sit beside last year's gear without anyone noticing the difference.

Netball, hockey and soccer share our site. Can we order together?

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.

How long does a custom uniform order take?

Three to four weeks from design approval. 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.

When should an East Gippsland club start for an April season?

January for design, February for sizing. With round one in the second week of April, that leaves the production window clear and still lets you take measurements late enough to be accurate.

What is the minimum order for custom uniforms?

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.

Where should a Bairnsdale order be delivered?

One address, chosen for who is there on a weekday. A clubroom that is only open on match day is a slower option than a home address or a school office, and over this distance the drop you can actually receive beats the one that sounds official.

Does VS Wear have a store or showroom in Bairnsdale?

No. VS Wear does not have a store or showroom in Bairnsdale. 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 Bairnsdale clubs get the same free design service, the same 3 to 4 week turnaround and the same Australian-based support as any other order in the country.

Which Gippsland towns near Bairnsdale do you supply?

All of them, from Lakes Entrance and Paynesville through to Omeo and Orbost, and west along the highway to Warragul and Morwell. The pages linked above cover several in detail and the rest are quoted on identical terms.
