VS Wear designs and manufactures custom AFL uniforms for Australian football clubs, schools and Auskick centres, with fully sublimated guernseys built to survive tackling, marking and a full season on the park.
Every order is produced factory-direct, giving your club 30 to 40% savings on premium quality guernseys, backed by our free design service and a 100% remake guarantee if the delivered guernseys do not match your approved artwork.
From Auskick centres and junior development squads through to senior premier clubs and country leagues, our design team has worked with football programs right across Australia, understanding that a guernsey is one of the most personal pieces of kit a club owns.
AFL is a fast, physical game played across four quarters, so every VS Wear guernsey is built from fabric and stitching chosen to hold up to real contact, not just a photoshoot.
Every guernsey is built for the cycle an AFL jumper actually goes through: grabbed and stretched on the field, then washed hard and worn again within days. The aim is a jumper that still holds its shape and colour deep into the finals rather than one that has gone baggy and faded by round eighteen. The specific fabric and construction choices that make that possible are set out below.
AFL places unusual demands on a garment compared to most other sports. Marking contests pull at the shoulders and chest, tackles grab at the back and sides, and a full four-quarter match in summer heat means the fabric needs to manage heat and sweat without weighing a player down in the last quarter. Every fabric and stitching decision below is chosen with those specific pressures in mind, not adapted from a generic sportswear template.

A guernsey carries more club identity than almost any other piece of sporting kit, and full sublimation gives your club complete freedom over how that identity looks.
Unlimited customisation covers sashes, stripes, chevrons and indigenous artwork, all embedded directly into the fabric through sublimation rather than printed on top, so the design will not crack or peel across a season. Club crests, sponsor logos and league emblems are worked into the same sublimated design, and large back numbers are included as standard, with player names added at no extra cost.
Refreshing an ageing jumper rather than starting from scratch? We can replicate an existing club design exactly or refresh it while keeping your heritage colours intact, so a club with decades of history does not lose what makes its guernsey recognisable. Get a quote for a heritage refresh or a completely new design.
Indigenous artwork and community-designed elements are increasingly common on club guernseys, and full sublimation is well suited to reproducing detailed artwork accurately, since the design is dyed into the fabric rather than limited by the layering constraints of screen printing. Clubs planning an Indigenous Round or community-round design should bring the artwork or the artist's brief to the design conversation early so it can be incorporated properly rather than simplified to fit a limited process.
AFL is played by everyone from Auskick five-year-olds to senior ruckmen and women's league players, so a single generic guernsey shape was never going to work for every squad.
We offer traditional sleeveless guernseys, a long-sleeve option for cooler climates, and a women's specific fit, so every squad gets a cut that actually suits how their team plays. Comprehensive sizing runs from Auskick through to senior ruckmen and women, and different sizes can be mixed within the one club order, so your entire program from Auskick through to seniors can be outfitted in one job.
Reversible training guernseys are also available for home and away scratch matches at training, useful for clubs that like to split squads without needing two full sets of match-day jumpers. Complete kit integration covers home and away shorts, socks, warm-up tops and hoodies, so the whole program looks consistent, not just the guernsey.
Getting sizing right across a full club program takes some planning, particularly for clubs running Auskick through to senior grades under one banner. We recommend collecting sizes grade by grade using a simple order form, so juniors, women's teams and senior men's squads are each measured against the cut that actually suits them rather than one generic size chart applied across the whole club.
We guarantee a 3 to 4 week turnaround from artwork approval, and recommend an ordering window of 6 to 8 weeks before the season starts to leave room for design approval and squad sizing.
Squads change every season through new signings, Auskick graduates moving into junior grades, and players changing clubs. Because your approved design and colours stay on file, reorders can be produced to match your existing guernsey without redesigning from scratch, and unlimited mock-up revisions continue through design approval once your order is placed. The minimum run is 20 units per design. As an Australian owned and operated manufacturer, we ship finished guernseys and full kits to clubs across the country.
Care and washing matter just as much as the initial build quality. Because the design is sublimated into the fabric rather than sitting on the surface, a VS Wear guernsey is built to handle a normal club laundry routine across a full season without the colours lifting or fading, which is a common problem with cheaper screen-printed alternatives.
