Long-Sleeve Tees
The everyday layer — crew-neck and raglan long-sleeve tees for schools, clubs, staff and supporter ranges. Simple, hard-wearing and printable or embroiderable, which is why they tend to become the most-repeated order a programme places.
How the programme is built

| Programme use | School leavers, staff uniforms, supporter ranges, event merchandise |
| Marking | Printed graphic or embroidered chest mark |

What you can specify
Everything below is a decision you make, not a fixed package. Tell us what matters and the quotation is built around it.

|---|---|

| Fit | Regular or relaxed; youth blocks available |
| Colours | Any Pantone reference; 20 house colours available off the shelf |
| Extras | Neck labels and hem tags can carry your own brand |
Specifications are a starting point, not a limit. Fabric weight, composition, trims, packaging and sizing can all be adjusted to your programme — tell us what you need and we will quote against it.
Knitted cotton-feel or wicking knit
For everyday teamwear the fabric choice follows the use, not the other way round — a cotton-feel knit where comfort off the field matters most, or a wicking knit where the tee doubles as training wear. Both take print or embroidery cleanly.
Full breakdown of constructions, weights and how to specify them in the fabric guide.
