BESPOKE TEAMWEAR – NEVER DISCONTINUED
BESPOKE TEAMWEAR – NEVER DISCONTINUED
Unbelievably Burton Rugby Football Club (BRFC) was formed by just a few brewers in the 1870s at The Swan Hotel, Burton on Trent. One of the oldest rugby football clubs not just in England but the world, Burton RFC continues to shine on and off the pitch and make a name for itself in rugby across the Midlands region.
An established club like Burton RFC requires a reliable, professional supplier of rugby teamwear, hence their decision to partner, TAG Sportswear.
Professional standard teamwear plays a crucial role in performance, comfort and team identity. That’s why Burton Rugby Football Club has opted to work with TAG Sportswear.
Providing pro-quality teamwear at very affordable prices, TAG is a well-known name in the design, supply and print of sports strips across a range of sports including rugby, football, athletics, cricket, netball, lacrosse, hockey and basketball.
Prior to working with TAG, Burton RFC was finding the need to change its suppliers every couple of years given it couldn’t find a flexible partner that could fulfil the clubs expectations, in relation to supplying 600+ members with a consistent image, season after season.
TAG responded to the age-old problem of not being able to order small quantities. That can be really irritating and limiting, with 600+ members it is inevitable that smaller top up runs are required mid-season and often at short notice, hence the need for flexibility and understanding when it comes to ordering smaller quantities of kit.
“High performance rugby teamwear is crucial for an established club like Burton,” said Jono Ewards of Burton RFC. “Sometimes we find ourselves in need of the odd extra kit item – often at short notice, so we need a supplier that can do its best to help us and respond with speed and efficiency. That supplier we think is TAG. Having worked with them for a few seasons now, they satisfy all our unforeseen requirements.”
TAG claims to provide the lowest re-order levels in the UK, reliable lead times and doesn’t have a minimum order quantity, so any size of order can be fulfilled.
Another issue with some teamwear suppliers is that kit and stash can be discontinued mid-way through a season, even though a contract has been agreed and signed. Highly frustrating as clubs like Burton expect their players to wear consistent, professional-standard teamwear, on and off the field.
TAG promises to never discontinue bespoke teamwear items, giving clubs the surety and control that they need, knowing that all elements of their strip will always be available when they place an order.
Making changes to kit items (in relation to design, branding etc) is also a consideration when choosing a supplier, according to Burton RFC.
Jono said “Burton has a very specific season and summer programme hence we have a short window if we want (and need) to change elements of our teamwear design. This can and does happen. With TAG we can discuss what we want, give them a timeframe and know that they will have everything ready on time, all the time. I feel like we have all the control back of our teamwear right now and are working with a partner that understands our sport, and what we need!”
Burton Rugby Football Club is a multi-team rugby club. With six senior teams, academy sides, and a full range of junior teams (male and female), their rugby teamwear requirements are considerable.
“Playing rugby at grass roots level is a real opportunity to instill in youngsters of any age a sense of pride, enthusiasm and team spirit, inspired by the sport. Making sure that each player, in each of our teams, wears their rugby teamwear with pride, consistency and the right attitude, has been one of the core reasons why we have been so successful as a club and as individual teams,” said Jono. “We are thankful to TAG for ensuring we have access to the best pro-quality teamwear available as and when we need it. This helps to keep every player looking at their best, playing their best, and giving their all, for their club and for the sport. It also ensures that every player looks the same and promotes our core branding and values in our community.”
