Buying Soccer Uniforms
5 Big Problems Buyers Face
So, you raised your hand and offered to find the uniforms this season. Congratulations! Now, you've done a little research and are overwhelmed by the choices of suppliers, uniforms and brands. Not to mention customization, turnaround times and other words you've never heard before...don't worry anymore. Take five minutes and let us show you the easy way. Buying soccer uniforms doesn't have to be this hard!- Availability - just because you see it one a website or in a catalog doesn't mean you can buy it! Huh? Yes, for companies that bring their product in from overseas, they can't guarantee to always have every style in stock in every color and size. This could come at the most inconvenient times - like when you need just one more.
- Life Span - if you want your uniforms to last more than one season, ask your potential vendor how long the uniforms is going to be produced. Beware! Even if you select a uniform that has a life span that meets your needs, it could change. Why? Because a bean counter might determine that style isn't profitable and over-ride the sales plan and discontinue it wasting your money.
- Colors - Find a style you like? Check the colors. Companies limit the number of color in each style to only the best-selling colors. Why do you think there are so many red, royal and gold teams?
- Sizes - just because you find a style you like, does not mean it's available in the sizes you need. Companies limit the number of styles available in youth sizes due to "product management." If you have a U9 - U14 team, pay attention as you'll need youth and adult sizes.
- Turnaround Times - ok, so you're comfortable with the answers above. Now, how fast can you get them? What about when you need just one more?
