How to Design a Netball Dress Your Team Will Love

Choosing a new netball dress is exciting, but it can also feel like a big decision. Your kit represents your club, your team spirit and your identity on court. It needs to look great, feel comfortable and perform well through training sessions, matches and tournaments.

At Designs Alike Ltd, we manufacture sublimated sportswear here in the UK, with no minimum order. That means whether you need one replacement dress or a full team kit, we can help you create something your players will be proud to wear.

Start With Your Club Colours

The best place to begin is with your club colours. These instantly make your team recognisable and help create a strong, professional identity.

The key is to make sure the colours work well together and are easy to see from a distance.

Think About Style and Fabric

Netball is a fast-paced sport, so your dress needs to allow players to move freely. All of our dresses come in 4 lengths and with the option for a standard or racer back. We offer two main fabrics-100% polyster eyelet which is lightweight and breathable, and a 4-way stretch Polyester/Spandex for a more fitted style.

Make the Design Unique to Your Team

One of the biggest benefits of sublimated netball dresses is that the design is built into the fabric. This means you can be much more creative than with standard printed kit.

You can include:

  • Club colours
  • Team names
  • Player names
  • Logos
  • Sponsor logos
  • Patterns
  • Gradients
  • Stripes
  • Geometric designs

Keep Sponsor Logos Clear

If your team has a sponsor, their logo needs to be easy to read. It is tempting to add lots of detail to a dress, but the sponsor logo should not get lost in the design. A clear logo placement on the front, back or skirt area can make the kit look professional while keeping sponsors happy. Before production, it is always worth checking that all logos are high quality and suitable for printing.

Choose a Design Players Will Feel Confident In

A team kit should make players feel confident. When players like what they are wearing, it can boost pride and team spirit.
It is helpful to involve the team in the design process, especially if you are making a big change. You do not need everyone to make every decision, but asking for feedback on colours or design options can help players feel included.

Consider Matching Teamwear

A netball dress is often just one part of a club’s kit. Matching extras can help your team look organised and professional at matches, tournaments and events.

You could consider:

  • Hoodies
  • Warm-up tops
  • Training tops
  • Leggings
  • Tracksuits
  • Jackets

All can be made in the sublimated design to match or compliment the dresses.

Remember Future Orders

When choosing your netball dress design, think about future players joining the club. A strong design should be easy to reorder when new members need kit. At Designs Alike Ltd, we offer no minimum order, which is ideal for clubs that need occasional top-ups throughout the season. You do not have to order large quantities just to replace one dress.

Why Choose Sublimated Netball Dresses?

Sublimation is ideal for netball dresses because the design becomes part of the fabric. This means colours stay bright, details stay sharp and the garment remains comfortable to wear.

Unlike some traditional print methods, sublimation will not crack, peel or feel heavy. It is a great choice for clubs that want a professional look with long-lasting performance.
