In short
A custom teamwear manufacturer designs, cuts, prints and sews uniforms to your club's colours and logo, then ships them to you. At Blackthorn World, sublimated uniforms start at 30 pieces per design, indicative prices run from about $5 a training tee to $25 a full football uniform, samples take 10–12 working days, bulk takes 2–3 weeks, and orders are delivered to your door in the USA and Canada.
What a custom teamwear manufacturer actually does
Buying from a custom teamwear manufacturer means skipping the catalogue reseller and working with the factory that makes the garment. You send a logo, a sketch or a tech pack; the factory returns a free 3D mock-up, a costing and a sample plan.
Blackthorn World has made teamwear in Sialkot since 1995. The factory covers 22,000+ sq ft, runs 200+ stitching machines and 8 sublimation printers, and turns out more than 150,000 garments a month. Sublimation, embroidery and screen printing are done in-house, so colour and logo placement stay under one roof.
