Being commissioned to buy your team’s hockey jerseys is not something to be taken lightly. There are numerous factors that need to be taken into account to ensure that you purchase the best quality garments that the team can wear with comfort and confidence.
One of the first and very important factors to identify if you are buying directly from the manufacturer, who also distributes their own garments across the country or are you using a middleman? Ideally, you want to work directly with the manufacturer, this reduces costs, reduces the risk of errors, and speeds up response time.
The next decision is your size needs. These are things you need to know before you start your search. Make sure each team member measures themselves around the neck, upper arms, chest, and waist, so you can match their sizes to the size chart offered by the manufacturer. Remember that each manufacturer will vary from one to another and they will provide you with a size chart that you can use, this way you have an idea of how many of each size you need. This will speed up the order process when the time comes.
Now you can start thinking about your design and how you want your hockey jerseys to look. Remember to factor in your team colors along with logo placement. Some teams like to have their team members number displayed on the back. Know what you want and also know which team member belongs to which size so when ordering you will reduce the risk of mixing up sizes and team numbers.
Ideally, the manufacturer you’ve selected for your hockey jerseys provides an online design tool to save you time and energy. With this tool, you can visit a sportswear manufacturers website, find hockey jerseys that are similar to what you’re looking for, and then using the simple online design tool, you can play around with the design until you get exactly what you’re looking for. what I had in mind. You are looking at an image of the hockey jersey you designed with your team for the first time. This image will be saved when you place your order, so the manufacturer can see what you designed and can make your items to your size specifications.
Price is important, but it should never be your deciding factor when choosing a manufacturer. Sometimes paying a little more for better quality is a safe option to reduce the risk of your jerseys wearing out and getting damaged after a short period of time. The price offered by the manufacturer should be realistic and you will find money saved by cutting out the middle man and going directly to the manufacturer for personalized service.
With the prices identified, the next thing to consider is the delivery time of your custom hockey jerseys, keeping in mind that the manufacturer must make your jersey from scratch based on your unique design. Two weeks is normal and they should assure you in advance, so you know when your order will arrive.
Finally, make sure that the manufacturer of the hockey jersey you have selected provides you with an effective delivery. If you order online, you expect delivery to your door and you don’t have to drive and pick up yourself. Check with the company who they use for delivery and if you can track your order to find out exactly when it will arrive.
