The summer beach tournaments are behind you and the disc is heading indoors: the indoor ultimate frisbee season opens this autumn and runs through to spring. Now is the time to kit out your club — and ultimate has needs all of its own that a plain printed tee simply won't cover. Here's how to dress your team for 2026-2027, from the mandatory two-jersey set to choosing the right fabric.
Why ultimate isn't like any other sport to kit out
A non-contact endurance sport, self-refereed and often mixed, ultimate means repeated long-distance running, sprints, jumps and layout dives. The kit therefore has to be very light, breathable and quick-drying, with no seams that get in the way of a throw or a catch. But the real quirk lies elsewhere: the rules themselves call for two colour sets.
- A light jersey and a dark jersey: indoors as well as outdoors, each team must stand out clearly from the opposition. Most clubs therefore plan a "light" and a "dark" for every player.
- A strong identity: ultimate is a community where design matters. Offbeat team names, mascots, bold gradients — the jersey is part of the club's spirit.
- Small squads: an indoor team fields few players at a time, and many clubs run only one or two teams. You rarely order 40 pieces at once — which is exactly why a no-minimum supplier helps.
The light / dark set: the constraint to plan for now
This is what sets an ultimate order apart from a football or handball club's. Instead of a classic home/away kit, you need two jerseys per player, one light and one dark, usually drawn from the same design to keep a consistent look. Full dye-sublimation is ideal here: the colours are dyed into the fibre, never flake, and let you produce exactly the same pattern in a light and a dark version without any added complexity. You approve a pre-production proof before anything is made, which rules out nasty surprises on either version.
Which jersey to choose for ultimate
Ultimate has no single "official" product page: you start from the lightest technical pieces in the range, built for running and the heat of an indoor hall.
- The short-sleeve running tee: the most versatile cut, light and breathable, a perfect ultimate jersey for most players.
- The sleeveless jersey: ideal in a heated hall or for players who want total shoulder freedom on the throw.
- A lightweight short to complete the kit: a top + bottom set in the same sport earns a 5% discount.

Sublimation, the ally of ultimate designs
In ultimate, you rarely settle for a logo slapped on a plain tee. Gradients, all-over patterns, bold colour clashes, tongue-in-cheek team names: sublimation prints all of it into the fibre, across the whole garment, with no limit on colours or zones. Unlike heat-applied lettering, which layers material onto the fabric and is limited to solid blocks, sublimation can't be felt to the touch and doesn't crack wash after wash — a real plus for jerseys that go from tournament to tournament. Logos and sponsors are unlimited at no extra cost, which helps fund the season. To start from a solid base, our design tool helps you visualise your light/dark colours before the proof.
From a single piece: order exactly what you need
An ultimate club doesn't have a football club's numbers. Being able to produce from a single piece, with no minimum, changes everything: you kit out a small indoor team, add a jersey for a mid-season recruit or test a new design without tying up any budget. Pricing is tiered: the larger the run, the lower the unit price. To build your season budget, our page for clubs and associations and the club budget guide set out sensible benchmarks, with no surprises.
Getting your order ready before the indoor season
So the jerseys are there for the first whistle, plan ahead:
- Sizes: available from children (ages 4-14) up to adult 3XL. Pass a sizing sheet around the team — our size guide and the method for measuring a whole team prevent mistakes.
- Lead times: allow 3 to 4 weeks of production after the proof is approved for short-sleeve jerseys and shorts, then delivery within 6 working days across Europe. Kick off the project a few weeks before your first indoor tournament.
- European manufacturing: our kit is made in Bulgaria, within the European Union, using full dye-sublimation.
Key takeaways
- The 2026-2027 indoor ultimate season opens this autumn: place your order a few weeks before your first tournament.

- Full sublimation lets you produce the same design in light and dark, with unlimited logos and sponsors at no extra cost.
- Production from a single piece, tiered pricing, European manufacturing (Bulgaria, EU), proof approved before production.
- Allow 3 to 4 weeks of production after the proof, then 6 working days for delivery in Europe.
Frequently asked questions
Do you really need two jerseys per player in ultimate?
Yes, in most cases. Teams must be clearly distinguishable, hence the "light" and "dark" pair. That's the main difference from a classic team sport: it isn't home/away but two contrasting colours, often taken from the same design.
Can you order a small run for a single indoor team?
Yes. Production starts from a single piece, with no minimum. You can kit out a small team, top up mid-season or test a design, with a price that drops as the quantity rises.
Does sublimation hold up to back-to-back tournaments?
The colours are dyed into the fibre: they don't flake or crack in the wash, unlike material applied on top of the fabric. That's an advantage for jerseys used hard all season.
