Professional Custom Performance Tee Built for Australian Teams & Sporting Clubs

Q: What artwork file format do you need?

For Embroidery , we can operate with any file. For Printing , we prefer vector files such as EPS or PDF . Vector artwork ensures clean, sharp branding and accurate reproduction across embroidery and printing.

Q: What is stitch count and how does it affect price?

Stitch count refers to the number of stitches used in an embroidered logo . Higher stitch counts mean more detail and higher production time, which increases cost. Simple logos are more cost-effective, while detailed designs cost more.

Q: What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?

Embroidery is a premium, highly durable option ideal for polos, shirts, and jackets. Screen printing is best for large, colourful designs and high-volume orders, offering excellent visual impact at a lower cost per unit.

Q: How do I determine the right size for my staff?

We recommend using half-chest measurements , which are the most accurate way to size uniforms consistently across brands and styles. This method reduces sizing errors and ensures a better fit than relying on generic S-XL sizing alone.

Q: Can we mix and match uniform styles but still look cohesive?

Yes — mixing styles works well when there is consistency in colour, branding, and fit . Using the same logo placement, colour palette, and garment category ensures a unified, professional appearance while giving staff flexibility.

Q: How often should uniforms be replaced?

Uniforms should be reviewed every 12–18 months . Replacement timing depends on job role, wash frequency, and brand standards. Regular reviews help maintain a consistent, professional image and ensure staff comfort and safety.

Your team's appearance is your brand's first impression — and in competitive Australian sport and corporate wellness, that impression is formed in seconds.

The GenRun Performance Tee solves the single biggest problem facing Practice Managers, Crew Leads, and Business Owners who outfit teams: the relentless cycle of faded logos, stretched collars, and inconsistent sizing that forces costly re-orders every season.

At Uniforms.com.au, we have been equipping Australian frontlines since 1999 — from sporting clubs in Brisbane to corporate wellness programs in Melbourne and Sydney — and we know that trade-grade construction is the only solution that delivers a consistent, professional team look season after season.

Why Australian Teams Choose This Construction

The GenRun Performance Tee is engineered from 100% polyester mesh (135gsm) — the only fabric that accepts permanent dye sublimation, bonding your custom designs, logos, and team colors directly into the fiber structure, not onto the surface.

This means your branding survives every training session, competition, and industrial wash cycle without fading, cracking, or peeling.

Strategic breath panel placement eliminates chafing during extended wear, while anti-bacterial treatment and UV protection address the two primary concerns of Australian outdoor athletes: odor control and sun safety.

Available from XS to 6XL — including women's sizing from W(06) to W(28) — this construction delivers a reliable, consistent fit across your entire team, eliminating the costly problem of inconsistent garment quality when ordering for diverse body types.

The Impact: 5 Reasons This Tee Protects Your Budget

Permanent Dye Sublimation Bonded Into Fiber → Color pigment fuses into the polyester structure, not onto the surface → Your logos and team colors remain vibrant for 40+ weeks, eliminating the fade-and-replace cycle that drains procurement budgets
135gsm Polyester Mesh with Breath Panels → Superior moisture-wicking and ventilation compared to heavier cotton-blend alternatives → Staff stay cooler, more comfortable, and more focused during demanding shifts or training sessions
Double-Needle Stitching at All Stress Points → Prevents seam failure under repeated industrial washing and high-activity use → Extends functional wear-life by 3x compared to standard single-stitch retail construction
Anti-Bacterial Treatment with UV Protection → Maintains garment freshness and prevents premature fabric degradation from Australian sun exposure → Your team looks and performs professionally for longer, reducing annual replacement costs by over 60%
XS to 6XL Inclusive Sizing (Unisex & Women's) → Reliable, consistent fit across every body type in your team → Eliminates costly re-orders and sizing errors when outfitting large, diverse groups

Professional Buyer's Guide: Outfitting 20+ People

Durability: This garment is engineered for industrial washing environments.

Machine wash cold, avoid fabric softeners (which coat moisture-wicking fibers and reduce performance), and line dry or tumble dry low.

Under regular use (2–3 wears per week with proper care), this construction maintains A-Grade visual and functional condition for 40+ weeks — approximately 9–10 months of active use.

That is 3x the functional wear-life of standard retail alternatives, reducing your annual replacement costs by over 60%.

Branding: Our in-house embroidery and sublimation printing facility — operated by our own team since 1999 — ensures every logo, wordmark, and design element is reproduced with precision on this 100% polyester mesh fabric.

Unlike resellers who outsource decoration, we own the machines and control every step of the process, guaranteeing consistent quality across every unit in your order — whether you're ordering 20 or 2,000.

Polyester mesh accepts unlimited colors, gradients, and photographic detail through dye sublimation — a capability simply not available on cotton or cotton-blend alternatives.

Sizing: We recommend ordering sample sizes before committing to a full team order to confirm fit across your size range.

Polyester mesh maintains its original dimensions through washing — there is no shrinkage compensation required — so the size you order is the size you keep.

Our sizing data from 25+ years of Australian orders confirms that consistent sizing across XS to 6XL is one of the primary reasons teams return to this construction season after season.

Account Terms: Established businesses and teams can apply for 30-Day Account terms, eliminating upfront payment pressure for large orders and simplifying your procurement process.

Real-World Use Cases

The 135gsm polyester mesh with breath panels delivered the ventilation required for high-intensity outdoor activity, while permanent dye sublimation ensured the club's logo and sponsor branding remained vibrant through an entire 22-round season.

Corporate Wellness Program — Melbourne: A CBD-based financial services firm running a 120-person corporate wellness initiative needed branded performance tees that looked professional in both gym and office environments.

The GenRun's clean drape, anti-bacterial treatment, and consistent XS–6XL sizing across a diverse workforce delivered a unified team aesthetic that reinforced the company's brand values at every session.

Ultra-Marathon Event — Sydney: An event organizer supplying 300 volunteer crew members across a 100km trail event required garments that could handle 12+ hours of outdoor exposure, UV radiation, and physical activity.

The UV protection, moisture-wicking performance, and industrial-grade construction of this tee made it the only viable choice for a crew that needed to look and perform professionally from start to finish.

Anti-bacterial treatment prevents odor buildup during extended outdoor activity — a critical feature for teams operating in warm conditions across multiple sessions per week.

What artwork file format do you need?

For Embroidery, we can operate with any file.

For Printing, we prefer vector files such as EPS or PDF.

Vector artwork ensures clean, sharp branding and accurate reproduction across embroidery and printing.

What is stitch count and how does it affect price?

Stitch count refers to the number of stitches used in an embroidered logo.

Higher stitch counts mean more detail and higher production time, which increases cost. Simple logos are more cost-effective, while detailed designs cost more.

What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?

Embroidery is a premium, highly durable option ideal for polos, shirts, and jackets.

Screen printing is best for large, colourful designs and high-volume orders, offering excellent visual impact at a lower cost per unit.

How do I determine the right size for my staff?

We recommend using half-chest measurements, which are the most accurate way to size uniforms consistently across brands and styles.

This method reduces sizing errors and ensures a better fit than relying on generic S-XL sizing alone.

Can we mix and match uniform styles but still look cohesive?

Yes — mixing styles works well when there is consistency in colour, branding, and fit.

Using the same logo placement, colour palette, and garment category ensures a unified, professional appearance while giving staff flexibility.

How often should uniforms be replaced?

Uniforms should be reviewed every 12–18 months.

Replacement timing depends on job role, wash frequency, and brand standards. Regular reviews help maintain a consistent, professional image and ensure staff comfort and safety.

What is the best fabric for daily wear and workplace durability?

The best fabrics for everyday workwear are breathable, durable fabric blends, such as cotton-polyester combinations.

These blends offer comfort, strength, colour retention, and reduced shrinkage, making them ideal for long shifts, frequent washing, and physically demanding workplaces.

How many uniforms should each staff member have?

We recommend 3–5 uniform sets per staff member.

This allows for daily wear, washing cycles, and unexpected spills or damage while maintaining a professional appearance at all times. Having multiple sets also extends the lifespan of each garment and reduces last-minute uniform stress for your team.

Do you offer bulk discounts?

Yes — bulk discounts are available.

Larger orders reduce unit costs, making bulk purchasing the most economical option for growing teams.

Typical timelines are:
