Hi, I was wondering if anyone had recommendations to a decent company to supply 22x Sublimated Rugby kits for an U12's team, i'm hoping somebody could give a ballpark figure so we know roughly how much we'll need to raise

Many thanks for any help in advance

We've (Oulton 8s/9s) have gone for Xamax. If you allow them to be a front of shirt sponsor, they knock up to 50% off and still allow space for another sponsor on the front, plus others on sleeves, back, etc. I think the deal we got was 18 kits for about £500. Full price is about £1,100 or so. It's worthwhile looking at Viper10, Akuma, Samuraii and Kukri. I think they all do a self design dooda on their websites, which is handy.

Good luck with raising the funds and getting the kit organised!

I've always used O'Neills to make my retro shirts and have been great to deal with

can add Stag and O'Neills to earlier list. Shop around for a deal.

I always work with a conservative estimate of £30 a shirt when looking to find sponsor cash although will be a little below i'd hope. also need shorts though and i've found that its sometimes easier to get a couple of £100 or £50 sponsors to pay for a spot on shorts rather than a £500 or £300 sponsor for a shirt!

for socks, i think it better to just get plain ones from sport and soccer or another discount sports store as it can be as cheap as 2 pairs for £3 which can really help with keeping costs down! some suppliers quote £8/£9 each for tailored sock designs!

Many thanks guys for your advice & input, greatly appreciated.

Plenty of food for thought
