Decathlon Pro and Flare Custom do not sell the same thing, and that is the first thing to understand before comparing a price. One offers a wide multi-sport catalogue that you customise; the other designs each jersey to measure in full sublimation, from 1 piece. Here are the Flare Custom facts, and the questions to ask Decathlon Pro so the comparison holds up.
Catalogue or made-to-measure: what you are buying
- Flare Custom: a jersey designed for your club, free colours and patterns, full sublimation into the fibre. The design is unique, no other club will wear the same.
- Check with Decathlon Pro: does customisation cover the full jersey design, or a marking added to a catalogue model?
Price: what is included
- Flare Custom: volume pricing, excl. VAT, with unlimited colours, logos and sponsors included. Sequential numbers included; custom names and numbers at €2 excl. VAT per piece. 5% off a top + bottom kit. Priced quote within 24 h.
- Check with Decathlon Pro: does the displayed price include the marking, each logo, numbers and names? On a full squad, the difference often sits on those lines.
Minimum and reorders
- Flare Custom: no minimum, production from 1 piece, identical reorders the following season thanks to the kept file.
- Check with Decathlon Pro: is there a minimum per reference and per size, and will the catalogue model still be available next year for an identical reorder?
Lead times
- Flare Custom: proof within 24 to 48 h, production in 2 to 4 weeks after approval, tracked DHL delivery in 6 working days. Express from 72 h, delivery in 48 h on jerseys, t-shirts, shorts, rashguards and polos.
- Check with Decathlon Pro: does the lead time depend on the stock of the chosen model, size by size?
Manufacturing
- Flare Custom: a single workshop in Bulgaria, within the European Union. Flare Custom is the brand of OLB Sports OOD.
- Check with Decathlon Pro: where is the chosen model made, and where is the marking done?
Who it is for, honestly
- For standard multi-sport gear with no design requirement, a catalogue may be enough and quicker to order.
- For a jersey in the club's colours, with sponsors, names, numbers, mixed kids' and adults' sizes and single-unit reorders, Flare Custom's made-to-measure is built for that, from 1 piece.
