VS Wear manufactures custom AFL shorts built for the pace and contact of Australian football. Whether you need a full club order or a top-up for growing squads, our playing shorts are cut for freedom of movement and finished in your exact club colours.
Every pair is factory-direct, which keeps 30 to 40% of the usual cost in your club's pocket, and the design service, with unlimited digital mock-up revisions, costs nothing.
AFL shorts need to survive marking contests, tackles and hard running without losing shape or slipping during play, so construction quality matters as much as the design on top.
Every pair uses a comfortable elastic waistband that stays secure during play, paired with reinforced stitching in the high-stress areas that take the most wear. Side panels, contrast piping and other custom design elements can be added if you want a distinctive look beyond a simple colour block.
The waistband is one of the most common failure points on cheaper playing shorts, so we pay particular attention to it. A loose or poorly finished waistband becomes obvious within the first few weeks of a season, whether that is a player having to hitch their shorts up mid-match or the elastic losing its grip after repeated washing. Our construction is built to hold up under exactly those conditions, week after week, without the fit degrading.

Our AFL shorts are cut from lightweight, breathable fabric designed for freedom of movement, so players can run, mark and change direction without the shorts holding them back.
Colours are applied through sublimation rather than surface printing, so the integration will not fade or peel over time no matter how many washes the shorts go through across a season. This also means panel colours, piping and branding stay crisp rather than cracking or lifting with wear.
Lightweight construction supports freedom of movement during running and marking contests.
Sublimated design elements will not fade or peel, even after a full season of washing.
Side panels, piping and branding are built into the design rather than added afterward.
The fabric itself is chosen specifically for AFL rather than adapted from a generic training short, since the sport demands sudden sprints, sharp changes of direction and repeated bending to gather the ball off the ground. A heavier or stiffer fabric restricts exactly those movements, which is why we keep the shorts lightweight while still building in enough structure that they hold their shape through a full match rather than sagging or twisting.

Custom AFL shorts are available in a full size range from junior through to senior men's and women's fits, so every player across your club gets a pair that actually fits their level of competition.
One order can therefore outfit the entire club, covering multiple grades and both the men's and women's programs in the same coordinated design.
Shorts are cut to coordinate with team jerseys and socks, so if you are ordering shorts to complete a kit, the finished colours and proportions will line up properly with the rest of your uniform.
Getting sizing right matters more in AFL than in most sports, given the amount of running, bending and physical contact involved. A pair that rides up or sits too loose becomes a genuine distraction for a player during a match, so we work through sizing with your club before production rather than relying on a single generic size chart applied across every player regardless of age or build.
Community football clubs order our custom AFL shorts alongside school programs, representative sides and corporate competitions, and the shorts brief differs surprisingly little between them.
Shorts can be ordered on their own as a kit top-up or folded into a larger uniform job, and our team gives a junior development squad the same attention as a senior representative list.
Shorts are also one of the most frequently reordered items in a kit, since they tend to wear out or need replacing before a jersey does. Because of that, plenty of clubs come to us specifically for a shorts top-up to go with existing custom afl jerseys rather than a full new kit, and we treat that request with the same attention as a first-time order, matching your existing colours and branding rather than treating it as an afterthought.

Our designers put together a digital mock-up so you can see exactly how your shorts will look, with unlimited revisions included as part of the process. Once you approve the artwork, production begins and we guarantee delivery within 3 to 4 weeks. If what arrives differs from the files you approved, the 100% remake guarantee puts it right at no cost.
Because everything is manufactured factory-direct rather than through layers of resellers, you get premium quality at 30 to 40% savings without cutting corners on fabric or construction. That pricing structure also means we can accommodate smaller top-up orders alongside full club rollouts, since the same efficient production process applies either way.
