Custom Teamwear Manufacturer – Made in Europe

If you own a teamwear brand and/or are handling sourcing, you surely want better sports jerseys, faster delivery times, ecological manufacturing, and respectable working conditions for the people making your clothes. The easiest way to do so is to find a European teamwear manufacturer.

But why so?

In the remainder of this article, you’ll learn why it’s much less of a hassle for you and your teams to rely on a teamwear professional from the old continent. Here’s a brief overview:

  1. A physically closer manufacturer can deliver goods much faster just due to proximity
  2. This proximity means much greener delivery since you’re avoiding CO2-heavy transport by plane or freight ship
  3. Many European businesses are participating in EU-funded projects to switch to greener energy sources
  4. European labour laws are too stringent to allow miserable conditions for workers, which can be a problem in the countries that are the usual textile hubs, where it happens that workers have to protest just so their wages can meet their basic needs
  5. No language barrier and no cultural barrier means that you are understood fully by your supplier

You will also learn what additional benefits you get from choosing FUSH˚ as your European clothing manufacturer. For example:

  1. Customized fabrics for your collection
  2. A manufacturer with existing teamwear clients
  3. Lower MOQ for teamwear brands
  4. SMETA and GRS-certified supplier

Now let’s dig a bit deeper into each point. Starting with the benefits of working with a manufacturer who is physically close to you.

1. Faster delivery with European teamwear manufacturers

Since European sports clubs attract huge revenue, most teamwear brands, even if from other continents, have a great interest in selling to European customers. Having an apparel factory nearby makes for much easier delivery to your warehouse. This means no suffering from congested ports – something we still feel the effects of and something that was a huge problem during the pandemic.

FUSH˚ factories and warehouses are located in Serbia, at almost equal distance from any European major city.

2. Closer to home, closer to your environmental and social responsibility goals

When your collection is created by a European teamwear manufacturer, not only that you get fast delivery, but you also score CSR points for lower CO2 emissions purely because your jerseys can be delivered by road, rather than air or freight ship. Then take into account that there’s a greater chance you’ll work with a solar-powered manufacturer.

3. European companies are more likely to have solar-powered factories

Simply because many EU-funded projects encourage companies to switch to solar power and many companies do. You can use the collaboration with a solar-powered supplier to advertise your next collection as even more sustainable.

FUSH˚ has a solar power plant in its mass production facility since 2021.

4. European countries have strong labour laws

Just from the legislative point of view, European teamwear manufacturers have an advantage over their far-eastern competitors. Labour laws on the Old Continent ensure workers in the textile industry can afford to live with dignity from their work.

Some European companies take a step further and go above what is required by law. We at FUSH˚ pay at least 20% more than Serbian national minimum wage and we pay that only for entry-level positions. The more experienced workers earn even more.

But we didn’t stop there. We became a Sedex member and went through the 4-pillar SMETA social responsibility audit. We passed with flying colours, which you can see in this audit report.

In addition to all that, we’ve become a Global Recycled Standard (GRS)-certified manufacturer. This means that you can prove that all your teamwear products come from genuinely recycled polyester. All polyester products made in a GRS-certified supply chain come with a label that your customers can see.

5. Easier communication

If your main language isn’t English, even if a European team wear manufacturer doesn’t speak your language, chances are you both speak English well enough to have smooth business communication. This isn’t always the case with overseas manufacturers and some key information may be lost in translation.

There’s more than the language barrier that makes communication easier for you when you work with teamwear suppliers from Europe. Due to sharing very similar cultures, you’re more likely to find a supplier with a similar communication style, which makes negotiations significantly easier.

At FUSH˚, we have French, German, and Italian speakers and every key contact person speaks and writes impeccable English.

Now let’s see what other benefits you get from working directly with us.

a.) Customized fabrics

If you want your teams to value your sports uniforms more, you need to provide them with apparel that can elevate their performance on the pitch. When you have customized performance-oriented fabrics, you can do so.

Technologists at FUSH˚ have created our proprietary ultra-light sportswear fabric called BeeDry©. It weighs only 70 grams per square meter (GSM) and as such can be used to make the whole sports jersey from it. You can mix it with other fabrics so it only goes under the armpits or as a side panel. It will make for a lighter sports jersey with the same moisture-wicking features your customers will love.

Knitted to resemble a hive, this fabric is busy as a bee when it comes to moisture wicking. All while maintaining ultra-light weight of only 70 grams per square meter.

What also improves the quality and comfort of a teamwear collection is the sewing process. It can eliminate chafing when applied properly. To achieve that, we use flatlock machines that make flat seams that make skin contact perfectly comfortable.

b.) One of our clients is a big team wear brand

Our most notable teamwear client is Macron. We have been making various sports uniforms for them since 2021. We work with teamwear startups as well but not as regularly as we do with Macron. In addition to that, we made countless marathon t-shirts for men and women, in every style imaginable, for various marathons on the old continent. Since 2005.

And since we’ve been in the business this long, you can choose whichever style of sports uniforms: v-neck, round neck, polos, long sleeve jerseys, hoodies, you name it.

c). Lower MOQs for team wear brands

Since it’s much easier for us to make a polyester sports jersey than a cotton t-shirt, we can lower our MOQ significantly for any teamwear client. Especially if you need the same garment shape for more clubs and the only difference is in the sublimated print style and club crest. You’d have to agree to work with us long-term to activate the lowest possible MOQ.

d.) Certified supplier = peace of mind for a team wear brand

FUSH˚ is a GRS-certified manufacturer, which means that polyester products that we make can come with a label showing it’s made from recycled plastic. That’s tangible proof your customers will see.

We also own three ISO certificates: 9001:2015, 14001:2015, 45001:2018. They guarantee that we make top-quality teamwear, respect the environmental laws, and have a healthy and safe work environment for our employees. Everything a teamwear brand owner needs to have peace of mind.

FAQ

  1. What is a teamwear manufacturer?
  2. What are the benefits of using a teamwear manufacturer?
  3. What are the latest trends in teamwear design?

1. What is a teamwear manufacturer?

A teamwear manufacturer is an apparel factory that specializes in making sublimated sports uniforms. That means their factory is organized to cater to small orders and that their sublimation printing facilities work at full capacity. This is because sublimation printing is the preferred method of applying graphic design to textiles and is the most work-intensive department of a clothing factory when it comes to making jerseys and other team wear.

2. What are the benefits of using a teamwear manufacturer?

The biggest benefit is the fact that a teamwear manufacturer has an in-house sublimation printing department. This speeds up the whole manufacturing process significantly. Apparel manufacturers that aren’t specialized in teamwear wouldn’t invest in dye sublimation printers and calenders.

Another benefit is that a good team wear manufacturer would manufacture durable fabrics and would be able to customize them in order for you to have better-performing sports uniforms for your sports clubs.

3. What are the latest trends in team wear design?

Some of the latest trends in teamwear design include:

Sustainable materials: these are materials with reduced negative impact on the environment. Ecologically dyed recycled polyester is an ideal example. This type of fabric comes from salvaged non-virgin plastic, is processed as little as possible and dyed with non-toxic dyes. Even though it’s still plastic, as part of a sports jersey, it has less of a chance of finishing in a landfill because team uniforms are highly collectable items.

Performance fabrics: sports jerseys’ quality is reflected in their ability to wick away sweat fast enough so that the sportspeople wearing them remain dry during a game or a training session. Customized fabrics from filament yarns are how FUSH˚ makes sports uniforms with unparalleled moisture-wicking features.

Retro designs: many sports clubs are reissuing their old jerseys because sports club merch collectors are increasing in numbers and demand for such unique apparel. Also, older fans like to take a walk down memory lane, as well as younger fans who want to own a part of the history of their club.
