Do you provide the jerseys?
Yes. We can source and bring the blanks, sized adult XS through 3XL, or we can personalize the kit you already own. Both are normal, and the choice is the biggest single lever on your quote.
This is the second question almost every planner asks, right after what it costs — and the two are the same question wearing different clothes. Blanks are usually the largest line on a jersey bar quote. Whether they come from us, from your stockroom, or not at all decides most of the number.
Option one: we bring the blanks
The default. We source blank jerseys, plan a size curve with you, and deliver them to the venue on the rack ready for guests to pick up. Augusta Sportswear and Badger are the two lines we reach for most on blank jerseys — both cut properly for this use, both available in the colour range and size run a mixed room needs.
What you are buying with this option is not just the garment. It is somebody else owning the size curve, the delivery window, the pressing test, and the problem of a colour arriving wrong two days out. If your event is the first jersey bar you have ever run, take this option.
Option two: you already own the kit
Client-supplied garments are supported and completely routine. Teams, clubs, leagues and sponsors frequently own jerseys already and need nothing from us but the name-and-number application. It removes the biggest cost line from the quote, which is why an end-of-season club night is one of the most affordable versions of this format there is.
Two things make it go smoothly. Tell us the fabric — slick, textured and mesh polyester all press differently, and we would rather confirm settings on a test piece than experiment on your inventory in front of guests. And count what you actually have, by size, before you tell us the number. A crate labelled "about a hundred" has a way of becoming eighty-three on the morning of the event.
Option three: guests bring their own
Possible, but agree it in advance rather than discovering it at the counter. A garment we have never tested is one we cannot promise a result on, and a jersey somebody already loves is the worst place to learn that a fabric behaves oddly under a press. Want a bring-your-own night? Say so early, send a sample of the likeliest garment types, and we will tell you honestly what we will and will not press on the day.
Sizes and the size curve
Guest-facing events run adult XS through 3XL on the rack. The temptation is to order a neat even spread across that range, and it is almost always wrong. Rooms skew. A youth club night skews small, a corporate holiday party skews to the middle with real weight in the large end, and a supporters' crowd skews larger than the planner expects.
Two practical moves matter more than the exact curve. First, cap the count per size in the system so a size that sells out simply disappears from the guest's picker instead of being discovered at the front of the queue. Second, never order the extremes thin enough to be embarrassing — running out of 3XL by the second hour is a bad look that a handful of extra units would have prevented.
How many to order
Order against realistic participation, not the guest list, then add a modest buffer. A jersey bar where the counter is the main attraction pulls close to the full room; one competing with five other activations pulls a fraction. The buffer covers guests who bring a plus-one you did not count and the two or three garments that get set aside for a re-press.
Over-ordering is not a catastrophe — you own the leftovers — but it is real money sitting in a crate. Under-ordering ends your bar early while guests are still queuing, which is the version everybody remembers.
Colours
One colourway looks like a uniform in photographs and keeps the inventory plan simple. Two colourways let a room sort itself into sides, which is the right call at a watch party and a fun one at a company party with rival departments. Beyond two, the size maths multiplies and the rack starts to look like a shop rather than a set.
Beyond jerseys
The same crew works in caps, tees and bags — Bella+Canvas 3001 and Gildan on the tee side, Richardson 112 and Flexfit on caps. Mention it early if part of your room would rather have a hat, because it changes the blank order rather than just the run of show.
Related answers
Can we supply our own jerseys?
Yes, and it is common. Teams, clubs and sponsors often own the kit already and need only the name-and-number application, which removes the largest cost line from the quote. Send fabric details ahead so press settings can be confirmed on a test piece first.
What sizes do you stock at a jersey bar?
Adult XS through 3XL at guest-facing events. Counts can be capped per size so a size that runs out disappears from the guest's tablet picker rather than being discovered at the front of the queue.
How many blank jerseys should we order?
Order against realistic participation rather than the invitation list, then add a modest buffer for uncounted guests and the occasional re-press. Over-ordering leaves stock in a crate; under-ordering closes the bar while guests are still queuing.
