Manufactured from 250gsm Exodry or Cooldry sublimation fabric, this performance guernsey combines 95% polyester with 5% spandex to provide strength, flexibility, moisture management, and comfort during demanding training sessions and competitive matches.
The substantial fabric weight provides the durability needed for repeated physical contact, tackling, marking, and regular seasonal use. Added stretch allows the garment to move naturally with the player during running, kicking, reaching, and contested play.
Each guernsey can be developed around your club, school, academy, association, company, or community team. Colors, graphics, team crests, sponsor branding, player numbers, neckline construction, garment fit, sizing, internal labels, and packing requirements can all be customized.
Sphere Resources manages the project from artwork development and specification confirmation through to manufacturing, quality control, packing, and delivery. Production is completed through Sphere Sport, our dedicated in-house sportswear manufacturing division, giving our team direct oversight of garment development and production quality.
This guernsey is developed specifically for the speed, movement, and physical contact involved in Australian rules football.
The 250gsm performance fabric provides a durable structure that can withstand tackling, pulling, repeated stretching, and frequent washing throughout the season. The polyester and spandex blend gives the garment enough flexibility to support overhead marking, kicking, handballing, sprinting, and rapid changes of direction.
Moisture-managing properties help move perspiration away from the body, while the breathable construction supports player comfort during extended periods of active play. The sleeveless design also allows unrestricted shoulder and arm movement without unnecessary fabric around the upper body.
The garment is suitable for senior and junior clubs, schools, universities, academies, community teams, corporate competitions, and sporting associations.
Exodry is designed to combine durable athletic performance with effective moisture management. It helps move perspiration away from the skin while providing the strength needed for regular training and competitive use.
Cooldry supports airflow, moisture transfer, and quick drying, making it suitable for teams playing in warm or humid conditions. Its performance structure helps players remain comfortable without compromising the durability expected from an AFL guernsey.
Both fabric options can support full-color sublimation and detailed custom graphics. The Sphere Resources team can recommend the most appropriate material based on the playing environment, preferred garment feel, design requirements, and budget.
Alternative fabric weights or constructions may also be considered when a different level of stretch, ventilation, or reinforcement is required.
Sphere Resources can develop the AFL guernsey around your team identity, competition requirements, playing conditions, and preferred fit.
The complete garment can feature custom team colors, sublimated patterns, gradients, side panels, club crests, school logos, sponsor branding, player numbers, initials, memorial marks, and competition logos. Sublimation integrates the design into the fabric, helping the artwork remain lightweight and resistant to cracking or peeling.
Neckline options may include crew neck, V-neck, crossover, bound neck, or custom-developed constructions. Armhole binding, body length, side shaping, hem finishing, panel layouts, and garment fit can also be adjusted.
Standard, athletic, relaxed, youth, women’s, and custom-developed size charts may be created depending on the order requirements. Internal neck labels, size labels, player identification, and individual packing can also be included.
Our in-house graphic design team can work from supplied artwork or develop a new guernsey concept using your club colors, logos, sponsor requirements, and creative direction.
Matching AFL shorts, socks, training singlets, warm-up tops, jackets, hoodies, headwear, and team bags can also be developed as part of a coordinated uniform range.
Custom AFL guernseys supplied by Sphere Resources are manufactured through Sphere Sport, our dedicated in-house sportswear manufacturing division.
This integrated structure gives Sphere Resources direct visibility over artwork preparation, fabric selection, sizing, sublimation printing, garment construction, finishing, and quality assurance.
Before manufacturing begins, every approved requirement is documented in a detailed production job sheet. This includes the fabric, measurements, size breakdown, artwork, team colors, logo positions, sponsor branding, player numbers, neckline construction, armhole finishing, labels, and packing instructions.
The manufacturing team follows these confirmed specifications throughout production to help maintain consistent sizing, color, appearance, and workmanship across the complete order.
Sphere Resources can assist with both new AFL guernsey concepts and the preparation of established designs for production.
Our graphic design team can refine supplied artwork, recreate existing uniform layouts, prepare sponsor placements, develop new pattern concepts, and ensure the completed design is suitable for sublimation.
Digital artwork is provided for review before manufacturing begins. Teams requiring repeat orders can retain approved design specifications, making it easier to maintain consistency across future seasons, replacement garments, and additional player orders.
Access to an online kit-design platform may also be available for suitable projects, allowing teams and organizations to explore design concepts and prepare initial visual presentations.
Sphere Resources manages each AFL apparel order through a structured review and approval process.
Before production begins, our team confirms the artwork, colors, measurements, size breakdown, fabric, neckline, logo placement, sponsor branding, player numbers, and construction details.
Quality checks are completed throughout manufacturing to review fabric consistency, print clarity, color reproduction, garment measurements, stitching, neckline finishing, armhole binding, numbering accuracy, and overall workmanship.
Production photos can be provided before the order is packed and dispatched. Regular project updates also give clients clear visibility over the progress of their custom apparel.
Recycled polyester fabrics, including REPREVE options, may be available by special order.
Suitable recycled materials can provide the stretch, durability, moisture management, and sublimation compatibility required for on-field AFL apparel while helping organizations reduce their reliance on virgin polyester.
Availability depends on the required fabric weight, garment construction, order quantity, playing conditions, and production specifications.
Reduced-plastic packaging, recyclable cartons, and other environmentally considerate packing options may also be incorporated into the order.
Provide the quantity, size breakdown, team colors, logos, sponsor details, player numbers, preferred neckline, target delivery date, and any matching apparel requirements.
