Padel team kits: how to get your club, league or tournament team matching
Matching kit does two things for a padel team: it makes the photo, and it makes the other side of the net take you a little more seriously. Here is how to get a team order right the first time.
1. Decide what the kit is for
Playing kit and after-match kit are different orders. For match play, most teams go with a Dry-Fit T-shirt because it stays light in the heat. For socials, prize-givings and cold early rounds, a hoodie or zipped hoodie is the piece people keep wearing long after the tournament. Many teams order one of each.
2. Pick one garment colour for everyone
It sounds obvious, but mixed colours ruin a team photo. Black works on every court and with every design. Check the colour options per garment first: T-shirts and Dry-Fits come in Black or White, sweaters in Black or Grey Melange, hoodies in Black, White or Grey Melange, and zipped hoodies in Black or Grey Melange.
3. Get sizes early (and in writing)
Sizing is where team orders go wrong. Send everyone our how to measure guide and ask them to compare against a top they already own. Collect sizes in one message or spreadsheet, not across five WhatsApp groups. Because every piece is made to order, sizes need to be right before production starts.
4. Names, numbers and logos
Personalised names on the back are the detail teams love most. If you want a club logo or sponsor on the kit, have the artwork ready (a clear PNG or vector file works best) and tell us where it should sit.
5. Work back from your date
Standard orders take 5–8 business days to produce and 3–5 business days to deliver anywhere in South Africa. For a team order, add time to collect sizes and confirm the design, and get in touch at least three to four weeks before the event so there is room for questions.
