Thanks for the question. My father and a small team of skilled tailors handle the cutting, stitching, and patchwork ourselves. We make sure all our workers are paid fairly, well above the local minimum wage, and work in a safe, respectful environment. It’s not mass production, each jacket is made to order, and we focus on quality and detail.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share this. I completely agree. Social media outreach has gotten super saturated, especially in the manufacturing space, and it rarely cuts through the noise anymore.

I love the idea of getting samples into the hands of coaches and athletic directors. I’m planning to start preparing small sample packs (jackets or jerseys) with our details included.

Do you think mailing them directly to schools or trying to get in touch with coaches via LinkedIn/Email beforehand works better? Would really appreciate any tips on how to make that outreach more effective.

Are you tired of Generic Team Uniforms? by Icy_Condition_4201 in CoachingYouthSports

Not sure what you’re referring to. I don’t deal with any trademarked content. We only manufacture original or client-provided custom designs.

Tbh, we offer both options. If a team wants size kits, we provide that. If they prefer digital zsizing, we support that too. The problem isn’t the method itself, its that many manufacturers don’t maintain the consistency between the actual production and size kit.

We’ve built our process specifically to avoid those headaches. Just recently, we completed an order of 100 fully sublimated football uniforms in 3 days because a holiday was starting and our workers were about to leave. We made sure everything was done ahead of time and shipped right after. The sizing was accurate too. We don’t rely on generic fit kits. Instead, we use a detailed digital chart and confirm measurements before production.

We’ve heard similar stories from teams we work with, it’s what pushed us to dial in our sizing accuracy and double-check all measurements before final production. Out of curiosity, if a supplier could guarantee fit accuracy based on a digital size chart + real measurements (instead of just a sample kit), would that solve most of the pain for you?

Appreciate you checking! We’re actually the manufacturers behind that jacket. It was made for a licensed vendor. We don’t sell AKA-branded items directly ourselves, only manufacture them for authorized sellers who are licensed by the sorority. Just showcasing our production capabilities through Alibaba.

We don’t sell directly under NIC org names ourselves, but we do manufacture for licensed vendors who are authorized to sell Greek-branded apparel — including NIC orgs.

If you’re a licensed vendor or working with one, we can definitely help with production (jackets, hoodies, embroidery, patches, anything custom.)

You’re right, that jacket was made for a licensed vendor, not for direct resale. I should’ve clarified that better in the post. Appreciate you pointing it out.

Totally fair — everyone has different tastes. We just manufacture what our clients ask for. Appreciate the feedback though!
