Step 1: list the situations
Note where and when your teams wear their uniform: reception, office, site, kitchen, events, outdoors in winter… Each situation requires different items.
Step 2: build the wardrobe
| Layer | Items | Branding |
|---|---|---|
| Base | T-shirts, polos, shirts | Logo on chest |
| Intermediate | Sweatshirts, jumpers, fleeces | Embroidery on chest |
| Outer | Softshells, parkas | Embroidery + back |
| Accessories | Caps, beanies, aprons | Embroidery |
Two or three well-chosen items are better than a long list that is rarely worn.
Step 3: respect your visual identity
- Choose a main garment colour consistent with your logo.
- Keep the same logo position and size on all items.
- Provide your colour references for an accurate result.
Step 4: manage sizes without mistakes
Ask everyone their size before ordering, ideally after trying a sample. Allow one or two spare items in the most common sizes for new arrivals.
Step 5: personalise individually
First name, role, number: individual marking boosts team identity and makes it easier to contact staff or players. The flex or embroidery allow bespoke personalisation item by item.
Step 6: plan for restocks
Choose 'basic' models from manufacturers who keep them in their catalogue for a long time. With no minimum order on a wide range of textiles, you can reorder piece by piece later, with the same look.
For a company, see custom workwear for businesses and personalised work clothes. For a club: sports shirts.
