Custom sports shorts, ready for game day

Whether it is a new season or a first-ever side, DKGM Sportswear builds sports shorts that are dyed straight into the fabric rather than printed on top. The result is colour that holds up through a full season of washing and wearing.

Send us your colours, crest and player details, or start in the Kit Builder to see your design first. Orders begin at 10 units, so smaller teams and clubs are covered too.

DKGM Sportswear is based in Lower Hutt, and clubs and schools across the Hutt Valley and wider Wellington region order sports shorts from us. We deliver anywhere in New Zealand.

Shorts questions

Does DKGM Sportswear make shorts in Lower Hutt?

Yes. DKGM Sportswear makes custom sports shorts for teams and clubs and across New Zealand.

What is the minimum order?

The minimum is 10 units, so a single team can order without needing a big club-wide run.

Can we add player names and numbers?

Yes. Names, numbers and logos are part of the sublimated design, so nothing is stuck on afterwards.

When should we order before the season?

Allow 4 to 6 weeks from design approval, and order early so the kit is ready for game day.
