Quick answer

Alisterz manufactures custom cricket uniforms in bulk from Sialkot, Pakistan, in both formats the game is played in: fully sublimated coloured kits for T20 and limited-overs cricket, and traditional whites for longer-format matches — each with your club crest, sponsor logos and player names and numbers. Most cricket styles start from 100 pieces per style (some at 500), the pre-production sample takes 5–7 days with a free sample available, bulk production runs 15–20 days, and we ship worldwide by DHL, FedEx or sea. Pricing is tiered by quantity, so a full club order — seniors, juniors and spares in one run — costs less per kit than the same kits ordered separately.

Two uniforms, two different manufacturing jobs

Cricket is unusual: the same club needs two visually opposite uniforms, and they are made in different ways. Treating them as one product is where buyers get caught out, so here is the honest split.

	Coloured kits (T20 / limited overs)	Traditional whites
Design	Bold club colours, gradients, patterns	Plain white or off-white, restrained trim
Decoration method	Full sublimation — design printed into the fabric before sewing	Embroidered crest; small printed or embroidered sponsors
Logos included	Club crest, front sponsor, back sponsor, sleeve sponsors — all printed in one pass	Crest on the chest; sponsors kept small and classic
Names & numbers	Printed as part of the design, no extra setup per player	Optional; usually names only, or plain
Best order pattern	One run per season with the full squad list	Replenishment runs as whites wear out

The practical consequence: coloured kits reward planning, because every sponsor and every player’s name is built into the artwork before a single panel is cut. Whites reward consistency — the same fabric and the same crest, run after run, so this season’s replacements match last season’s kit.

Coloured kits: why sublimation owns this format

A T20 kit carries more branding per square inch than almost any other team uniform: front-of-shirt sponsor, back sponsor under the number, sleeve sponsors, club crest, player name and number. Doing that with separate prints and embroidery would be slow, expensive and heavy. Sublimation prints the entire design — colours, logos, names, numbers — into the fabric before sewing, which means:

• Every sponsor logo is included at no per-logo setup cost
• Names and numbers never crack, peel or add weight
• Each player’s shirt is printed to his own size and name from your list
• Reorders of a single replacement shirt match the original run

The trade-off is discipline: once the artwork is approved and printing starts, a new sponsor cannot be “added later” — it is part of the fabric. Check sponsor artwork at the mockup stage the way you would check a proof. Our decoration comparison walks through the three methods side by side if your club is deciding between formats.

Whites: simple to look at, specific to make

Traditional whites look like the easiest garment in cricket. They are not — there is nowhere for a fault to hide on a white shirt that is worn in the sun for six hours. What matters in whites is the fabric (breathable, comfortable through a full day’s play, and white that stays white after repeated washing), the fit (loose enough for bowling actions and diving stops, in trousers as well as shirts) and the crest, which is embroidered rather than printed on almost every whites order we produce — it is the traditional finish and it outlasts the garment’s hardest seasons.

Clubs typically order whites as shirts and trousers together, with a smaller number of spare shirts, and reorder through the season. Because your crest artwork and patterns stay on file with us, replenishment runs are straightforward.

Ordering for a whole club: how to structure it

The cheapest way to kit out a club is one combined order, once a year, structured like this:

1. Full squad lists per team — each player’s name, number and size in one spreadsheet.
2. Seniors and juniors in the same run — youth sizes graded from the same design, so your under-13s look like your first XI.
3. Spares built in — a handful of unnamed coloured shirts and extra whites shirts in common sizes, for mid-season signings and replacements.
4. Sponsor deadline set early — sponsor logos are the most common cause of cricket-order delays. Lock the sponsor artwork before the mockup, not after.

That structure is the same discipline as any bulk uniform order — our guide to ordering bulk team uniforms covers the full process from quote to delivery — but cricket adds the season deadline: kits are needed for the first match, not “sometime in spring”. Count backwards from that date through sampling (5–7 days), production (15–20 days) and air freight (roughly 4–7 days), and you land on a start date about six weeks before the season. Clubs in the US, UK and Australia ordering from Pakistan mostly ship by air for exactly this reason; sea freight only makes sense for very large, very early orders.

MOQ, samples, production and shipping — the honest numbers

• Minimum order: many cricket styles start from 100 pieces per style; some start at 500. We confirm your style’s exact MOQ in the quote — see the MOQ guide for how minimums work.
• Sample: pre-production sample in 5–7 days, in your colours with your crest and sponsors placed. A free sample is available — for whites especially, judge the fabric in hand.
• Bulk production: 15–20 days from sample approval.
• Shipping: worldwide by DHL/FedEx air (roughly 4–7 days to most destinations) or sea for large planned orders.

Frequently asked questions

Can we put multiple sponsor logos on the coloured kits? Yes — that is the normal T20 format. Front, back and sleeve sponsors are all included in the sublimated design at no per-logo setup cost. Send the sponsor artwork as vector files (or high-resolution images) with your enquiry so placement is set at the mockup stage.

Can we order coloured kits and whites in one order? Yes, and most clubs do. They are produced as two styles in one order — the coloured kits sublimated, the whites with embroidered crests — quoted together so your combined quantity is priced fairly across both.

Can every player’s shirt have his own name and number? Yes. Names and numbers are printed as part of the sublimation design for coloured kits, produced player-by-player from your squad list. Check the spelling on the list once, carefully — we produce exactly what the list says.

What is the minimum order for cricket uniforms? Many of our cricket styles start from 100 pieces per style; some start at 500. A full club order across teams and sizes usually clears the minimum comfortably. Tell us your club size and we will confirm in the quote.

Do you make junior sizes as well as adult? Yes. Junior and adult sizes are graded from the same design and produced in the same run, so every age group in the club wears the identical kit.

How far before the season should we order? About six weeks before your first match: 5–7 days for the sample, 15–20 days for production after approval, and roughly 4–7 days for air delivery. If your sponsor artwork is not ready, that — not production — is usually what eats the buffer.
