Basketball kit does not borrow from any other sport. The top is a sleeveless vest cut wide at the shoulder, the shorts are long and loose, and the numbers matter more than anywhere else, because officials call fouls by them.
Sets, or vests and shorts
The quickest route is a basketball set: a matching vest and shorts sold together, such as Joma's Kansas set. Sets keep the colours identical and make reordering simple. If your team wants a different short, or already has one, vests and shorts are also sold separately, including the Joma Phoenix short. Joma and Errea are the brands, and most styles come in adult and junior sizes for school and club teams.
Reversibles and a second colour
Leagues normally expect the home side in a light colour and the visitors in dark, so a team needs two looks. Ask your league what it requires before you choose, then either buy a light and a dark set or keep a second set of vests and one set of shorts that goes with both.
Where the numbers go
Most competitions want a number on the back and a smaller one on the front, and some limit which numbers may be used, so check the rules first. In our workshop a number across the back of a vest is £2.00 a character, a small number on the front or on the shorts is £1.75, a name is 80p a letter and the club logo is £3.95 a garment. The product page shows the artwork on the kit in 3D with the price before you order.
Warm-ups and the rest
The same collection holds T-shirts, sweatshirts and training trousers for the warm-up, and basketballs. A shooting tee with the club logo on is the cheapest piece of kit a team will buy and the one it wears most.
Ordering a roster
The squad order tool adds every player's name, number and size in one go, which suits a roster of ten or twelve. Any basket over £100 gets 10% off automatically, UK delivery is free over £300, and schools can pay on a purchase order.
