What is true on the pitch is true off of it. The big clubs have it easier than the small. The player market is kinder to big clubs with stuffed wallets and fan clubs than to small clubs with matching budgets. You knew that. But did you know that the textile printing market, too, favors the big over the small? And that it actually does so to an even greater degree than does the player market?
The big clubs buy the good players and the smaller buy the less good. So it goes. You get what you pay for, and since there – usually – is proportionality between expenditure and quality, the small club with a limited budget can — at the very least — buy a limited player.
But in the textile printing market, even that baksheesh has gone the way of the dodo. Here, there is no proportionality between what you have and what you can get. The case in fact is that the big clubs can buy essentially any amount of shirts they want, but the small clubs can’t buy any at all!
Why on earth not? Because companies’ production parameters are configured in such a way that small orders are simply not accepted. Their – and here we’re talking about giants such as Nike and Adidas – production is set up to handle large orders from well-to-do clubs like Barcelona, Tottenham, FC København etc., but not small orders from impecunious amateur clubs or even just mid-sized professional ones.
Any production has startup and other fixed costs, so before expending resources on manufacturing new shirts, a certain profit expectation must be met, and small club orders almost never do so. An order requirement of at least 5,000 units is common among production companies, so when non-leaguer Haringey Borough F.C. wants 25 custom-made shirts for its anniversary game against rivals Enfield Town, it has nowhere to turn. That game is simply lost.
At Jet Sport we’ve had that morass in our sights for a while and have worked toward being able to help small clubs and associations with having any desired shirt made. We have successfully developed our production capacity to allow for the printing of orders of as little as 25 units and now stand ready to help Haringey Borough F.C. and similar clubs, associations, and person groups who can’t get their needs met by Nike, Adidas, and all the other brassbound behemoths out there. The game has been equalized.
This service of ours is aimed e.g. at football and running clubs, companies wanting to hand out custom-made shirts for its employees, or any groups or events in need of at least 25 prints. Our only requirement – apart from a minimum order of 25 units – is that you supply us with the unadorned shirts yourself. From there, we’ll take good care of them and print on them exactly the colors, patterns, and logos you want.
