VS Wear designs and manufactures custom sports uniforms and club apparel for the sailing, life saving, tennis, cricket and court clubs of Brighton and the City of Bayside, 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 drawn to your club's own colours and mark, from a minimum of 20 units per design.
Club apparel leads here, because most of this suburb's sport is played on water, sand and clay rather than on a football ground.

Four steps, and the only one with a deadline attached is the one you control.
Send through the garments, rough quantities and your colours. Professional design is free, drawn by our in-house team from your colours, logo and ideas.
Your mock-up comes back for the committee to look at properly. 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. Nothing goes to production before you have signed the design off.
We ship Australia-wide, to whichever address you nominate. Every order carries our 100% remake guarantee: finished garments that do not match the approved artwork or production files are remade at our cost.
Step four is worth a moment's thought in a suburb where the clubhouses sit on a foreshore and a park rather than in one central complex. A volunteer club will usually get gear into hands faster by nominating somebody's home or workplace than by sending a consignment to a building that is busiest on a Sunday.
Apparel worn on patrol or on a jetty is looked at by the public rather than by an opponent, and a mark that works on a screen can disappear against sand, water and glare. Photographs of finished club gear are the quickest way to judge whether yours will hold up out there.

View the VS Wear GalleryBrighton recorded 23,252 residents at the 2021 census, and its sport leans toward water, sand and court rather than toward a football ground. Royal Brighton Yacht Club on the Esplanade runs a sailing program open to all ages and abilities. Brighton Life Saving Club at Dendy Beach is made up entirely of volunteers and is focused on community involvement and first aid. Dendy Park Tennis Club in Brighton East has 19 clay courts, and a community football club at Brighton Beach Oval fields both men's and women's teams.
Most club gear is designed to be told apart from an opposition strip. Here a great deal of it is worn in front of the public instead, and three things follow from that.
A member on duty needs to be identifiable to somebody who has never seen the club before, at a distance, in glare. That argues for a clean mark at generous size and strong contrast rather than the fine detail that works fine on a jersey seen from the boundary line.
A sailing program open to all ages and abilities has nothing like the size profile of a selected team. Order the full adult range, weight the spares toward the middle, and expect the tails to be used, because nobody has been picked out of this group.
Volunteer clubs often sell apparel to members rather than issuing it, which makes the price a personal decision for each of them rather than a line in a budget. Removing the retail step is what keeps a club polo something members buy rather than think about. 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 colours and numbers.
VS Wear sells factory-direct, so the same premium quality lands 30 to 40% below usual retail pricing.
Professional design is free, drawn by our in-house team from your colours, logo and ideas.
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 minimum order is 20 units per design.
A club selling apparel to its own members is in a different position from one issuing playing kit. Every dollar of margin sitting in the supply chain is a dollar a volunteer has to justify to another volunteer at the counter.
Taking out the reseller step and the design charge is what lets a club price its shirts sensibly and still put something back into the club, which is usually the whole reason for selling them.
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.
Send the order to a weekday address rather than to a foreshore clubhouse, because buildings on Dendy Beach and the Esplanade are busiest at weekends and quiet the rest of the time. We also supply Moorabbin and Kew nearby, and the full list of Victorian cities we service covers the rest of the state through our Victoria cities directory.
Committees pricing outerwear for an exposed foreshore can start with our free custom jackets guide, which covers styles, layering and club branding on outerwear.
Identify them to the public quickly. A clean mark at generous size and strong contrast does more than fine detail, because the person reading it has never seen your club before.
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.
Wider than a team order and with the spares in the middle. Nobody in an open program has been selected for anything, so the size range runs further in both directions than a squad's does.
It changes what the price has to clear. Factory-direct pricing leaves room for a club to sell at a sensible figure and still put something back, which is usually the reason for running merchandise at all.
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.
Work back from the start of the warm months rather than from an autumn round one. Sailing, life saving and cricket all begin around the same time here, which puts design and approval in late winter.
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.
Nominate a home or workplace. Clubhouses on the foreshore run at weekends, so a weekday address gets the gear distributed sooner.
No. VS Wear does not have a store or showroom in Brighton. 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 Brighton 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 Hampton, Sandringham, Black Rock, Beaumaris and Highett, along with the rest of Melbourne. The pages linked above cover several in detail and the rest are quoted on identical terms.
Send your colours, your mark and rough numbers across the program. Design costs nothing, so a committee can see the whole thing before it commits a cent.
Quick and easy. No payment details, no obligation.
