The fourth line carries more weight in Footscray than almost anywhere else on this list. Clubs here often hold a crest that arrived with a community rather than one drawn by a marketing agency, and the useful thing to send with it is a sentence about what must not change: a motto, a script, a colour that is not negotiable.
A logo that looks crisp on a screen can lose its finer strokes once it is sublimated at chest size. Finished photographs are where a committee can judge that honestly, which matters when the crest in question is the part of the club nobody is willing to compromise on.

View the VS Wear GalleryFootscray sits about five kilometres from the Melbourne central business district in the City of Maribyrnong, and its central shopping area is one of the most diverse in the city, reflecting successive waves of immigration: once a centre for Greek, Italian and former Yugoslavian migrants, later a hub for Vietnamese and East African communities. The sport follows the same pattern. Footscray United Cricket Club plays in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association, Shorten Reserve on Essex Street is home to Druids Cricket Club, and Johnson Reserve on the same street hosts the women's soccer side Maribyrnong Swifts, usually on Sundays. A cycling club here runs road and criterium racing, and a rowing club sits on the Maribyrnong River.
Where a club's name and crest arrived with a community, they are not branding assets to be refreshed. Three things follow for anybody briefing a uniform supplier here.
Send the best version of the crest you have and a short note on the parts that are fixed. A designer who is told a motto, a shape or a particular blue is non-negotiable will work around it, while one left to interpret will improve it, and improving it is the outcome nobody wants.
Some clubs here carry a name in a second language, or a spelling with accents that word processors quietly strip. Confirm the exact setting before the first mock-up, because a correction after approval means redrawing artwork that had already been signed off.
Turf cricket, Sunday women's soccer, criterium racing and rowing sit within a couple of kilometres of each other in this suburb, and none of them takes the same garment brief. Saying which discipline the order covers, up front, is what separates a firm quote from a conversation. 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 crest and colours.
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.
VS Wear is Australian owned and operated, and your order is looked after by our Australian-based team.
We ship Australia-wide, to whichever address you nominate.
Having designers in house is what makes the crest conversation possible at all. A club in the City of Maribyrnong can explain what an element of its badge means and have that reflected in the artwork, rather than sending a file into a catalogue system and hoping.
The approved file then becomes the standard. Every later run is produced against it, so a crest that took a community decades to earn does not quietly drift a stroke at a time across three orders.
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.
At five kilometres from the central business district this is a short metropolitan run, so a home or workplace address during the week is simpler than a reserve that is only staffed on match day. We also supply Box Hill and Brighton across town, and the full list of Victorian cities we service covers the rest of the state through our Victoria cities directory.
Committees trying to specify a colour exactly can start with our free Pantone colour guide, which explains how to name a shade so it comes back the same every run.
Not unless you ask for it. Send the crest with a note on what is fixed, and the design work happens around it rather than through it.
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.
Yes, and it is worth confirming the exact wording before the first mock-up. Accents and scripts survive the process fine, but they need to be right at the artwork stage rather than corrected after approval.
The best one you have, in whatever format it exists. A vector file is ideal, a large image is workable, and a photograph of an old jumper is still more useful than a description.
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.
We make custom training and endurance apparel, so tell us the discipline when you enquire. Cricket, soccer, road racing and rowing all sit within a couple of kilometres here and each takes a different brief.
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.
A weekday address in the City of Maribyrnong is easiest. Essex Street's reserves are busy on weekends but quiet midweek, so a home or workplace is the faster option.
No. VS Wear does not have a store or showroom in Footscray. 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 Footscray 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 Yarraville, Seddon, Maidstone, Braybrook and Sunshine, along with the rest of Melbourne. The pages linked above cover several in detail and the rest are quoted on identical terms.
Attach the logo, name the discipline and list what cannot change. That is enough for a firm price, a firm date and a mock-up that respects what the club already is.
Quick and easy. No payment details, no obligation.
Thanks, our team is on it. In business hours we will get back to you within 2 hours with your free quote.
