Planning your sportswear & jerseys order for Richards Bay
The calendar in South Africa sets the delivery window for sportswear & jerseys. Seasons are reversed from Europe, with winter from June to August; winter lines are ordered by December and summer lines by June. School uniforms peak in January. For sportswear & jerseys specifically, sports kits are ordered ahead of each season; cricket and football orders cluster before tournaments and school sports terms. Our lead time is 20–35 days for custom kits; 40 days for large club orders, plus sea transit of about 18–28 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of sportswear & jerseys in Richards Bay include football, cricket and rugby clubs, sports academies and schools, fitness and athleisure retailers and event and promotional organisers. In Richards Bay, they usually order 50–100 sets per design for custom sublimated kits; 500 pieces for stock designs and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Richards Bay
South Africa has its seasons reversed from Europe and North America, so sportswear & jerseys must be ordered against the southern calendar: lighter fabrics such as polyester micro-mesh 130–160 GSM for the December–February summer, heavier options for June–August.
Sizes: S–3XL adult; kids 6–14 years; custom size lists per team. Colours: Full-colour sublimation in any design; solid and panelled colours.
