Summer sports kits for your local clubs

When it comes to doing sports in winter, you need your kit to be comfortable but to also keep you warm and dry when the weather turns bad and for summer you need it to keep you cool and dry when the temperature rises, so now we are into summer, and the kids are about to break up from school it’s an ideal time to think about changing your sports clubs kit. Many clubs use t shirt printing to have their teams name on and any sponsorship, so it’s not that hard to have a summer kit also printed up onto a new summer kit.

No matter what sport you play you need your kit to be practical, comfortable and of high quality, so you need to make sure you use a reliable retailer, such as online printing company Splash Logo who offer a wide range of sports clothes. Anything from football, golf, cricket and rugby to performance wear, motorsports sailing and cycling, logo’s , embalms and sponsorship can easily be put on using various high quality long lasting printing methods. They also offer a quick turnaround time so if you need a new kit in a hurry they are the ideal option.

Working the Sportswear look

Relax and take it easy in this season’s stunning sports-inspired fashion. From soft jersey pants with subtle pleating for a flattering shape, to cool racer-back vests in the cutest colours, forget the sharp, angular lines of 80’s couture and take it down a notch with comfortable luxe fabrics and easy to wear pieces. Sportswear is no longer dominated by designer menswear but now is much more feminine.

Ideal for the jet-set, this look travels well. An oversized vest is perfect as a beach cover-up or teamed with cute white denim shorts and wedge trainers for a stylish evening look. Buy one in every colour for a versatile summer capsule wardrobe; they’re perfect for layering in cooler climes – go metallic for an instant injection of glamour that can take you straight from beach to bar – just throw on a stunning statement necklace.

The new sporty dresses are simply too gorgeous to leave behind! Look for drapes and halter necks in breathable cotton; choose styles with a twist – a sexy zip or an oversized pocket are subtle details that can make this look really work for you.

Keep it simple with plain white fitted t-shirts and basic shapes – easy pieces that are no effort to wear and take up little room in your wardrobe or suitcase.

Create your own athletic look with touchable grey marl, sweatshirt fabrics, slouchy harem pants and silky tactile parkas. Look for joggers with up-to-the-minute contrasting waistbands and show off your sporty bralet with a stretch cardigan; yes this look allows the wearing underwear as outwear – radical!

This look is easy and luxurious but a word of caution: don’t ruin the essence with worn-out old running shoes – go for soft leather gladiators or a strokable low-heeled suede mule. And don’t even THINK about working out…

Personalised performance wear

Moving on from just t shirt printing you can get other clothing personalised to fit your needs, if you are part of a sports club or walking/hiking team you can have your performance wear personalised for your team.

You can have your team logo, sponsor or mascot put on by either  digital transfer, embroidery, subli flock or DTG printing which is great for team events such as walks so you are recognisable as a group but also even better if you are doing anything for charity as that can also be recognised. If you wish to have a ‘kit’ for your group www.splashlogo.co.uk has lots of performance wear on offer from specialist walking clothes to team kit’s, polo shirts, hoodies and waterproofs.
