School Sports Kit Suppliers for 2024

school sports kit

As the start of the school year is fast approaching, it’s important to get a head start on selecting a school sports kit that not only proudly displays the school emblem but is also made from material that is comfortable and breathable. With most suppliers jumping on the bandwagon to mass-produce uniforms and sporting gear, it’s refreshing to know that we at XCO Group stay with the time-honoured tradition of quality over quantity.

Why School Sports Kits are Important

Just as you expect students to behave in a certain manner whilst wearing uniforms, the same can be said about athletes wearing school sports kits. Whether on or off the field, the modern sports kit you select from us at XCO Group shows cohesion yet still distinguishes your team above the rest.

  1. Uniformity in Team Sports: Imagine the chaos that will ensue if competing schools wear similar coloured sports apparel. Coaches wouldn’t know the members of their team and spectators would be blissfully unaware that they are supporting the wrong side. As your team steps out onto the field, you want them to do so with pride and look unified, letting competitors know that they are up against not just the athletes but also the entire school.  
  • Boosting Morale:  Whether practising or playing, sporting the right activewear and accessories will encourage your team members to train better, feel more confident, and maintain a level of comfort while doing so. Matching school sports kits have the distinct benefit of promoting togetherness, boosting individual morale, and fostering team spirit. The kit you ultimately select, once donned, makes everyone equal knowing that they are competing towards the same goal.

How Technical Sports Kits Improve Performance

At XCO Group, we want your school team and individual athletes to succeed, and with that in mind, manufacture our sporting apparel specifically for improved performance. In the past, athletic attire was produced using encumbered linens, thick cotton, and woollen jerseys. As sports have evolved throughout the centuries, heavier materials that left school and professional athletes overheated and dehydrated were discarded and tight-fitting, yet lightweight, breathable materials have become the stalwart of sportswear.  

To make sure that you select the perfect technical school sports kit, we would like to leave you with some tips to consider when deciding:

  • Clothes must be snug, leaving enough room for movement.
  • Fabrics that let in air and keep sweat out are the best choice.
  • Make sure that the material can withstand the abuse that it will go through, especially for team sports such as rugby and hockey.
  • To get the best performance, athletes must feel good in what they wear and not restricted.

Our expert textile production and manufacturing team at XCO Group seems to have found the winning formula. We are not only ahead of the pack with the material we use to create our sports attire but we also exceed in design and unique branding possibilities too.

XCO Group’s Unique Design Online Concept

As a respected leader in the arena of sportswear and accessories such as kitbags, balls, and bats, we want you to discover the freedom of creating your school sports kit through our Design Online concept. We understand that with uniforms, there is always the concern of staying within the allocated budget, and with that in mind, you will be pleasantly surprised at how affordable our range is. Designing online has never been this affordable or simple.

All you need to do is select the sporting apparel you require, choose from a multitude of colours for a basic or more detailed sleeve, choose a front and/or back design, add the school’s badge, and once you are happy with the results, leave the rest up to our in-house manufacturers. You can create separate apparel for all the sports that your school offers by simply clicking a button.
