Having quality sports teamwear made for your team, no matter which sport is in question is something that’s extremely important and shouldn’t be an item to save on. Just like proper sports nutrition has its value and purpose, so does proper team wear. Teamwear is a morale booster, it saves the team the trouble of finding clothes to train in, it promotes unity and solidarity between the teammates, and it makes your team recognisable.

Every team has its colours that both players and fans know and love, and your teamwear needs to follow that colour scheme. It also needs to be made of quality materials that are designed for training and playing, materials that will let the body breathe, won’t get in the way of the game, and will withstand the nature of the sport, alongside frequent washing.

When it comes to team wear necessities, you’ll need a couple of items and item sets to make sure your team is covered in every situation. The best way to go about buying quality teamwear Australia wide is to choose a well known and respected brand to buy your team wear from.

One such brand is Kappa.

Kappa: Long History and High Quality

Kappa is an Italian brand that has existed, originally, since 1916, but its sportswear branch was developed and launched in the 1970s. Ever since then, Kappa plays an important role in many sporting events, providing team wear for teams in Europe and around the world, making the company an expert on materials, design, and functionality.

The importance of having a sportswear brand create your team wear is absolute. No other manufacturer will be able to give you the exact mix that a sportswear brand can, and with Kappa’s long and rich history in supporting and creating for both teams and individual athletes as well as the general public, it’s clear that you can make no mistake by getting their items and branding them your way.

Here are a few items that Kappa can provide, which are essential to have for your team.

Jerseys & Shorts

Some of the most important pieces of clothing in sports are jerseys and shorts used when your team is playing on the field. As I already said, having quality-made, sports-specific teamwear is extremely important, but this importance is amplified when jerseys and shorts are in question.

Whether your team plays football, for example, in which a match lasts 90 minutes, or volleyball, where the timing isn’t quite as determined, the clothing they wear is supposed to give them the support they need while also providing freedom of movement throughout the whole match.

With jerseys, there are two options you can get, both specific to Kappa and other sportswear brands. There is the short-sleeved jersey and the long-sleeved jersey, each used in the proper weather conditions.

Kappa, however, has been concentrating on developing materials that are durable and breathable and they’ve come up with a unique material that has hydrophilic properties that comprise all their jerseys and shorts.

This means that, when the body unavoidably gets sweaty while playing, that moisture isn’t going to stay trapped between the material and the body, it will actually get soaked inside the jersey, leaving the body cool and dry.

This may seem like an uncomfortable ordeal, but Kappa have thought of that, too, and that’s why, alongside the hydrophilic properties, their jerseys are also accompanied by Quick Dry technology, which allows for the gathered moisture to evaporate easily and quickly, leaving the jersey as dry as the body.

This same technology is also applied to shorts which pair with the jerseys and they make for a great playing item set that ticks all the boxes.

Training Clothing & Tracksuits

Matches happen every once in a while. However, training sessions are something that’s far more frequent, as they should be. Preparing for the actual field is always a tiresome, sweaty activity that makes sure the team is ready for their game.

Because of this, it’s very important to have clothing that will be able to respond to the intensity of the training sessions. You might want to use jerseys for training, too, but that would just put more stress on the garments, making them last way less than they’re actually intended to last.

Instead of jerseys, you can get special shirts, bibs, shorts, and pants your team can use while training. These items follow Kappa’s fabric policy and are also made of breathable, yet durable materials that allow your team to feel just as they will while wearing their jerseys on the field.

Another item set you’ll need are tracksuits, which you can also customize, or just buy a ready-made set for the whole team in corresponding colours. Tracksuits and hoodies will provide your team with something to wear to and from practice and will keep them dry and healthy, no matter what the weather conditions are.

Accessories

Finally, we have accessories. Another important part of sports teamwear, both for comfort and performance.

Things like socks, caps, hoodies, bags, and jackets are items you can get either custom-made or retail and offer to your team for the ultimate team wear experience.

These are all items that are best bought at sportswear stores like Kappa, because they really do guarantee quality and endurance. You can also invest in water bottles for training sessions as well as matches to round the whole thing up.

All in all, these are the items and item sets that Kappa can offer you, which will make your team look and feel stellar, thus playing even better than before. It’s just like with regular, everyday clothing. If you wear something that’s not suitable for the occasion, your mood will be affected, making you irritable and uncomfortable, thus unable to concentrate on whatever it is you need to be doing.

See sports teamwear as a necessary part of the sport itself, something that will boost performance, an equal part of the game itself and preparations for it. Kappa sells teamwear Australia online as well as in stores, so you can take a look at what they have to offer and take your pick.
