Match kits, training gear and match balls for football clubs

Custom match kits, training wear, goalkeeper gloves and match-grade balls for football clubs — direct-from-origin without a licensed-brand markup.

AI Overview

Football clubs below top-flight level typically overspend on kits by sourcing through licensed brand distributors that layer 40–60% markup between factory and pitch. Sourcing direct from a Sialkot manufacturer against your crest and colourway captures that markup for the club's budget. Findup Sports produces sublimated match shirts, short/sock sets, training wear, goalkeeper kits and match-grade balls for club programmes.

Quick answer

Football clubs work with Findup Sports for direct-from-origin match kits, training gear, keeper gloves and match balls. Sublimated shirts with player names and numbers, colour-matched short/sock sets, keeper kits and match-grade balls are produced against your club crest and colour palette — without paying a licensed-brand distribution markup.

Why clubs source direct

A licensed replica shirt reaching a semi-pro club has passed through a brand, a licensee, a country distributor and often a local reseller. Each step adds margin. For a club that buys 30–200 kits per season across first team, reserves, U18s and academy, that stack is worth thousands of euros a season — money that could go into training equipment, pitch time or coaching staff.

Sourcing direct from origin against your crest, sponsor set and colour palette captures the distribution margin. The trade-off is committing to a manufacturing lead time and running the design brief yourself — both of which we support.

Real club sourcing problems

  • Coordinating first-team, reserves, U18 and youth kits — matching colourways, different sponsor arrangements per squad.
  • Player-name and number printing accuracy and durability through a full season.
  • Kit turnaround time against a fixed pre-season friendly schedule.
  • Goalkeeper-specific kit — long sleeve, padded elbow, keeper glove pairing.
  • Match ball spec — training balls for daily use, match-grade for fixtures.
  • Youth and academy sizing curve — XS to XL youth plus adult sizes.

Club programme structure

  • Full sublimated kit set (shirt / short / sock) with club crest, sponsor logos and colour palette locked to Pantone.
  • Player-name and squad-number printing to a season-long durability spec.
  • Goalkeeper kit variants — long sleeve, elbow padding, matched crest and sponsor set.
  • Training wear range — training tees, quarter-zips, tracksuit, bibs, rain jackets.
  • Match-grade and training-grade ball options in the club colourway.
  • Youth and academy sizing curve produced in the same fabric spec as first-team kit.

Club kits are always OEM

Club kits are inherently OEM — the crest, sponsor set and colour palette are the club's IP and cannot come from a shared catalogue. Your artwork, our patterns, agreed against a signed spec sheet.

Kit personalisation

  • Sublimated club crest, sponsor logos and manufacturer-neutral trim.
  • Player names and squad numbers — sublimated for durability or heat-transfer for last-minute changes.
  • Captain armbands, warm-up shirts and coach polos matched to the kit palette.
  • Junior sizing produced in the same fabric spec as senior kit.

Kit QC for a season of use

Kits are inspected for sublimation registration, print colour accuracy against Pantone targets, seam strength, wash-fastness and dimension tolerance per size. Match balls are inspected for weight, circumference, sphericity and rebound where applicable.

Club-friendly packaging

  • Individually polybagged and labelled by player name and squad number.
  • Master carton labelled by squad (first team / reserves / U18 / academy).
  • Match balls polybagged and pumped for training-ready delivery on arrival.
  • Kit bags optional — team-kit bag with club crest for away travel.

Club MOQ and pre-season timing

Club MOQs are lower than retail programmes because a kit run of 30–200 pieces is normal. Timing is the real constraint — kits have to land before the first friendly. We work backwards from your pre-season fixture to set sampling, PP approval and dispatch dates.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order for a club kit?
Club kit MOQs are lower than retail programmes. A full match-squad kit set is typically workable; we quote the actual MOQ against your specific spec and sponsor set.
Can you match our current kit colour exactly?
Yes. Colourway is matched to Pantone TPX / TCX targets, with a physical strike-off approved before bulk production.
Do you print player names and squad numbers?
Yes. Sublimated printing is the durable option for a full season; heat-transfer is available for last-minute changes or academy sides.
