Designed for On-Field AFL Performance

This long sleeve guernsey is developed for the speed, movement, and contact involved in Australian rules football. Its athletic construction supports sprinting, overhead marking, kicking, handballing, tackling, and rapid changes of direction.

The fabric can be selected to provide the preferred balance of breathability, stretch, structure, and durability. Long sleeves offer added protection from sun, wind, and cooler temperatures while maintaining natural arm movement.

The guernsey is suitable for AFL clubs, schools, universities, academies, community teams, corporate competitions, and sporting associations. Men’s, women’s, youth, and custom-developed fits can also be produced.

Fabric and Garment Options

Sphere Resources offers a wide selection of performance fabrics to suit different climates, playing levels, design requirements, and budgets. Options may vary in weight, texture, breathability, stretch, moisture management, durability, and recycled content.

Collars, cuffs, sleeve construction, body length, side panels, hems, and garment fit can be adjusted to suit the team’s requirements. Our team can recommend an appropriate construction after reviewing the intended use and playing conditions.

Approved fabric and construction specifications can be retained for repeat orders. This helps maintain consistency when ordering additional players’ garments or preparing uniforms for future seasons.

Sublimation and Custom Design

Sublimation printing allows team colors, gradients, patterns, club crests, sponsor marks, player numbers, and competition branding to be integrated directly into the fabric. The result remains lightweight and resists the cracking and peeling associated with some surface-applied prints.

Each garment can include an individual player number, name, initials, or position details. Memorial marks, championship references, and special-edition graphics can also be incorporated into the artwork.

The Sphere Resources graphic design team can develop a new guernsey concept or prepare supplied artwork for production. Access to an online kit designer may also be available for suitable teamwear projects.

Sustainable Material Options

Recycled polyester fabrics, including REPREVE options, may be available for teams seeking a more environmentally considerate uniform. Suitable recycled materials can retain the durability, stretch, moisture management, and sublimation compatibility needed for AFL apparel.

Fabric availability depends on the preferred garment weight, performance requirements, quantity, and construction. Sphere Resources can recommend suitable alternatives during the product development process.

Reduced-plastic packaging, recyclable cartons, and other sustainable packing options may also be included. These can be tailored to the requirements of the club or organization.

In-House Sportswear Manufacturing

Custom AFL guernseys supplied by Sphere Resources are manufactured through Sphere Sport, our dedicated in-house sportswear manufacturing division. This gives our team direct visibility over fabric selection, artwork preparation, sublimation printing, construction, and finishing.

Before manufacturing begins, all approved requirements are recorded in a detailed production job sheet. This includes the fabric, artwork, colors, measurements, sizes, player details, collar, cuffs, labels, and packaging instructions.

The production team follows these specifications throughout manufacturing. This helps maintain consistent sizing, branding placement, colors, construction, and workmanship across the order.

Quality Control and Project Support

Sphere Resources reviews the artwork, garment specifications, size breakdown, and player details before production begins. Digital artwork is supplied for approval, and a physical sample may be arranged where required.

Quality checks are conducted throughout production to assess fabric consistency, print clarity, stitching, measurements, collar construction, cuff finishing, numbering, and overall appearance. Production photos may also be provided before packing.

Our team maintains clear communication throughout the project. Clients receive support from initial design development through to production updates, shipping coordination, and final delivery.

Custom AFL Guernsey Order Process

The project begins with your quantity, size breakdown, team colors, logos, sponsor details, player numbers, preferred fabric, and target delivery date. The Sphere Resources design team then develops a new guernsey concept or prepares supplied artwork for sublimation.

After the design, fabric, construction, pricing, and specifications are confirmed, digital visuals are supplied for approval. A physical sample may also be arranged, subject to sampling costs and additional lead time.

Once approved, the guernseys move into in-house manufacturing and quality control. The completed order is packed and dispatched to the nominated location, with tracking information provided where available.
