Team wear began as a way to differentiate teams on a field. Now, it has come to mean so much more than that. Custom team wear is more than just garments; it’s about a feeling. The feeling that comes with slipping into your custom team wear is a feeling like no other.
High-quality custom team wear instills a sense of pride, unity, and confidence into your team members. The special bond that a team shares is something you can only understand once you’ve felt it yourself. At Limelight Teamwear, we take this feeling very seriously and aim to create the best quality team wear on the market. The feeling you get when you step into your custom team wear should represent that special feeling of belonging to a team.
No matter how new or old your team is, there are always ways to deepen that team feeling, the sense of belonging, and the sense of family. We believe that when you dress in unison, you feel in unison. This brings your team closer together and improves team morale, which allows your team to work better together and motivates them to be their very best.
There are many different team wear looks to choose from and endless possibilities on the outfits you can create. A competition look is going to be different from your leisure team wear or your training team wear. Let’s dive into these different looks and discuss the importance of having different looks.
Competitive Look
Your team wear look for competition is your most formal look; it is also one of your most important looks. Competition is when you want to see your team shine. If there was ever a time that you wanted your team to feel connected and fuelled by team spirit, competition is that time. Without custom team jackets, it’s hard to see who is part of which team. We want to help your team to stand out from the rest when you walk through the venue doors.
There are many different options for your competitive team wear look. Some studios start with a custom team jacket and work their way up to a full team look; others jump in with a full team outfit (jacket, pants and accessories). A custom team jacket is a great starting point for building your team’s look. Once you have your jacket design it’s easy to design the rest of your garments.
The jackets from our Evolution Collection are all fully sublimated and therefore you can have your dancers and athletes in your full brand colors. Checkout our other blogs for different ways to incorporate different patterns and colors into your design!
The majority of jacket designs feature your logo on the full back of the garment. When you’re at a competition, you want everyone to know who you are. It’s your choice as to how much branding you’d like on your design. The goal is to have your competition look to be put together and suit your entire team. Our jackets are a unisex fit and therefore are perfect for any coed teams.
Training Look
Training team wear is often overlooked, but holds great importance. That same pride that comes with competition team wear carries over to training team wear. Anything you can do to make your team members feel more like a team will benefit both your company and your team in the end.
We have endless possibilities of team wear combinations to create gorgeous, high-quality team wear looks. Whether your dancers/athletes like to train in a sports bra and shorts, or leggings and full sleeves, we have options for you. When your students are training together and they look around the room to see all of their team members dressed in the same or similar apparel, it provides them with a deeper sense of team membership. With everyone around them repping their team colors and branding, it reminds them that they’re part of something bigger than themselves.
Our training wear is made with comfort in mind. We make garments that flatter your students and move with them through every movement while they train. Our Evolution collection is full of high-quality training garments that are fully sublimated, meaning you can easily have your training wear designed to coordinate with your existing team look. We have training wear for dance, gymnastics, cheer and other activities.
Leisure Look
Your custom team wear doesn’t have to stop at the gym/studio either. Even outside the studio or gym, allow your team members to rep their team colors with pride, anywhere they go! With a full collection of streetwear pieces, we make it easy to design simple looks that your team members can rep whenever, wherever! This is a great marketing opportunity for you and your studio/gym. When your students wear your logo and brand colors while not training, it’s more brand awareness for you! This also connects them more with their team.
Our streetwear collection is perfect for customized loungewear. Many of the garments from our Street Collection are made with a fleece fabric with polyester pieces as well. These pieces can be customized to your team’s colors and branding. With custom streetwear pieces, your team members can wear their garments to school, running errands or just relaxing at home!
Our Streetwear Collection isn’t your only option for custom loungewear. Our Evolution and Onyx collections carry many different options that feature comfort and style. Go for a fully sublimated look or keep it cool and casual; the choice is yours!
We know from experience that custom team wear can truly transform team morale. The meaning behind a custom team wear look is so much more than meets the eye. We want your team to be the best that it can be, and we know that custom team wear is one way to improve your team!
