Why matching kits are important in team sports

Playing sport in a club means far more than just building muscle and burning calories. Team sports bring people together and create a strong sense of camaraderie. So it’s no wonder that many sports clubs provide their players with matching kits. In the YOW! online shop, you’ll find everything you need to design your own kit and give your team a unique look.

Team sports bring people together: Show off your club with pride

Club athletes take pride in their team and enjoy showing which club they belong to. A custom-printed jersey featuring the club logo is the perfect way to express this feeling. Matching kits not only strengthen team spirit, but also emphasise a player’s sense of belonging to their team. Whether it’s football, badminton or rugby – matching jerseys are popular in all sports.

Jerseys, shorts and more: everything a sports fan could wish for

At YOW! you’ll find an extensive selection of jerseys in various colours, styles and sizes. Our size range extends from S to XXL, ensuring there’s a jersey to suit almost every adult player. We also have a wide selection for children, so even the little ones are perfectly kitted out. As well as team shirts and shorts, we offer full tracksuits that look great whatever the weather.

Our sportswear is made from functional, breathable and quick-drying materials. As team sports can often be quite rough and tumble, we place great importance on fabrics that are particularly durable and easy to care for. Comfortable clothing is essential for keen sports enthusiasts who spend many hours a day in their sportswear. That’s why we offer reinforced hems, elasticated waistbands with drawstrings and integrated inner shorts, as well as extended backs on shirts, for optimum comfort. Footballers can also choose from a wide range of football socks that are guaranteed to match their kit.

The right hardware for textile printing

The sportswear available from YOW! is ideal for sublimation printing. As well as textiles, we also stock all the equipment you’ll need to print your own shirts. For clubs that regularly take on new members, purchasing your own sublimation printer or transfer press may be more cost-effective than constantly commissioning new prints from a specialist. This allows you to be creative and flexible when designing your textiles. Our automatic cap press from Secabo ensures perfect printing on baseball caps and hats, whilst the Secabo TM1 mug press decorates mugs, glasses and beer mugs with your club logo.
