How to order matching jerseys for a school sports team

Why the usual way fails

Team kit goes wrong in small, annoying ways. A shop has the right colour but only in a few sizes, or the print cracks after a month of matches. Ordering from a retail store also means each player ends up with a slightly different shirt, which defeats the point of a team look. Collecting sizes, names and numbers from twenty players is slow, and a single missing detail can push the whole order past the first match. Many coaches also only think about fabric after the first hot match, when players start complaining that the shirts feel heavy or stay wet.

How RIZER helps

RIZER makes custom sportswear and jerseys in Sri Lanka for schools, universities and clubs, alongside its corporate work. Its catalogue already shows team pieces like a school badminton jersey and football jerseys, and it lists sublimation among its logo methods. You choose the colour, sizes and fabric weight, and the team reviews your brief before confirming options and price. Because it works with coordinated orders rather than single retail pieces, a full squad order is exactly the kind of job it handles.

Step by step

1. Write down the garment and who wears it, for example a badminton jersey for the under-16 team.
2. Collect the quantity and the size of every player, plus a few spares for new joiners and lost shirts.
3. Pick the team colours and a fabric; stretch blends exist if players need more movement.
4. Send the school badge or club logo and say where it should go and how it should be applied.
5. Add the delivery location and the date of the first match so the team can confirm timing before production starts.
6. Send everything on WhatsApp or through the quote form and wait for RIZER to confirm options and pricing.

Tips

• Ask about sublimation if the design covers the whole shirt or uses many colours. It is one of the logo types RIZER lists next to embroidery, heat transfer, hi-build and DTF. Embroidery suits a small badge on a polo for staff or officials, while sublimation suits the players' match shirts.
• For sports that involve a lot of stretching, look at the blends with spandex instead of a plain polyester shirt. The catalogue filter shows a recycled polyester and spandex mix.
• Order a few spare jerseys in the most common sizes. New players join mid-season, and a later top-up order may not match the dye lot of the first batch exactly. Keep a short list of who received which size, so swaps between players are easy in the first week.
• Give the date of the first match, not just "as soon as possible". RIZER asks for requested timing so it can check availability, and a real date makes that check useful. Ask for the delivery to come a week before the first match, so there is time to swap any wrong sizes.
