Getting The Timing Right

Working back from round one

South west Victorian football and netball run roughly April to September, with cricket over the warmer months. Work back from your first fixture, not towards it.

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.

Plenty of clubs here are not working to round one at all. Glenelg Shire Council runs a Sport and Recreation Grants program, and a club buying with grant money has to order, receive and report on it inside a period set by the funding rather than by the fixture list. Those two dates are rarely the same, and it is the funding one that has consequences.

See The Work

Look at finished gear before you commit

Worth looking for: finished orders rather than drawings, because a funding body wants to see what the money actually produced.

Sport In Portland

The clock that actually matters

Glenelg Shire Council administers the shire from Portland and runs a Sport and Recreation Grants program for local clubs. Flinders Park, home to several sporting clubs and community organisations, is undergoing a major redevelopment. Cavalier Park in South Portland carries cricket over the summer months. Between a funding calendar and a building site, a committee here has more than the fixture list to plan around.

Count back from the money, not the match

Grant-funded gear has to be ordered, delivered and reported on inside a window somebody else set. Working back from that date rather than from the first game is the difference between an easy acquittal and an awkward one. Clubs applying to Glenelg Shire Council for a Sport and Recreation Grant generally know that date before they know their fixture list.

A firm number belongs in the application

Three to four weeks from your own approval is a figure a club can put in a funding application and stand behind. That is worth more at that stage than a price, because the price will not be questioned and the timeline will. Ask us for a dated quote.

Free design means the money buys garments

Nothing in the grant goes to artwork, because the design work is not billed. Every dollar shows up as something a player wears, which is also the simplest thing to photograph and report. For a small club at Cavalier Park or Flinders Park that can be the difference between kitting one side and kitting two.

Deliver around the works

With Flinders Park under redevelopment, clubs based there should nominate an address that will still exist in six weeks. A committee member's home or a school office is safer than a pavilion mid-project. Several clubs and community organisations share that park, so it is worth agreeing between them who is receiving what.

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.

A committee spending its own money can absorb a delay. A committee spending somebody else's inside a reporting period usually cannot, which is why a set number of weeks is the proof point that matters most in this shire.

The remake guarantee does the same job at the other end. Gear that comes back wrong is a problem in any town, but it is a much bigger one when the funds have already been acquitted.

Where We Deliver

Delivery to Portland and south west Victoria

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.

Custom all-weather club jacket produced by VS Wear

Clubs order to a Glenelg Shire Council reserve only when somebody is there to receive it, and with works under way at Flinders Park that is worth checking rather than assuming. Cavalier Park is a summer address rather than a year-round one. We also supply Warrnambool east along the coast and Colac further east again, and the full list of Victorian cities we service covers the rest of the state through our Victorian cities directory.

Cricket committees working out what to order for two seasons can start with our free custom cricket uniforms guide, which covers whites, coloured gear and squad sizing.

Portland FAQs

Questions Portland committees ask us

We are buying with a council grant. What date should we work back from?

The date the funds have to be spent and reported, not round one. Allow three to four weeks for production from your approval and whatever your committee needs before that.

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.

Can you give us a firm date for a funding application?

Yes. The turnaround is three to four weeks from the day you approve the design, which is a number you can put in an application and stand behind.

Does the grant have to cover design as well?

No. Professional design is free, so the funding goes into garments rather than artwork, which is also easier to show in a report.

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.

Our ground is being redeveloped. Where should the delivery go?

Somewhere that will still be there in six weeks. A committee member's address or a school office beats a pavilion in the middle of works.

Can Portland schools order sports uniforms as well as clubs?

Yes. Portland 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.

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.

Does VS Wear have a store or showroom in Portland?

No. VS Wear does not have a store or showroom in Portland. 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 Portland 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 south west Victorian towns near Portland does VS Wear supply?

We deliver right across the district. We supply clubs at Warrnambool and Colac, and we quote sides ordering out of Heywood, Casterton, Hamilton and Port Fairy. The pages linked above cover several in detail and the rest are quoted on identical terms.
