Ordering Kit
From time to time, we order batches of kits on behalf of players but this tends to be infrequent as it is very difficult and time consuming to manage the collection of size information and payments across a large group.
This page explains how you can order kit directly, the same way we do. Please follow the steps and let us know if you have any problems.
1. Selecting the correct shirt
The shirt we use is the Stanno Altius Jersey, in Bright Navy / Orange. It must be ordered from the following site in order to have our badge on it: https://www.directsoccer.co.uk/stanno-altius-jersey?colour=2588
The shirt looks like this:
2. Selecting the correct size (very important!)
It’s absolutely crucial you order the correct size. When the shirt is printed with our badge on it, it cannot be returned if it is the incorrect size.
Please carefully view the sizing information on the site. However, some of the comments suggest that these shirts can come up a bit small. We recommend that you find somebody in the class (of a similar size) who already has a shirt and see what size they are using, so you can be sure it will be the right fit. We have a few that can be tried on if you ask us.
When you have your correct size, select the quantity wanted and select ‘Customise and Add to Bag’
3. Customise the shirt: add the badge
To add the badge, please select the embroidered badge icon (which adds an additional cost to the shirt, but it’s important they have this).
The positioning should be on the left breast:
Select ‘use previous badge’:
When you press that, you get a text box where you can write ‘Hitchin Futsal’:
Please select the ‘HITCHIN FUTSAL 2023 [ORANGE]’ badge for your shirt. Confirm this badge by pressing ‘continue’:
4. Other Customisations / Names
Some initial shirts that we ordered had players names printed on the back. After consideration, we recommend that players do not get their names on the back. We have had issues with names peeling, and it also means that those shirts cannot be handed on to others when you grow out of them.
If you especially want a name, please talk to us. We are unable to allow children to take part in competitions against other clubs in our shirts if they are customised with anything other than the badge, or a name that has been discussed with us (and printed in the font we have previously used). Please do not include any numbers or other customisations.
5. Check order and complete
Please check that you have ordered the correct shirt and size. For example:
Click the ‘Show Customisation’ button and double check that you have the orange badge positioned on the left breast, exactly as follows:
If you would like to add a club token (completely optional) then this gives a small amount of credit to Hitchin Futsal and helps us order additional equipment (keeping our costs down). To do so, just select, ‘Add a Club Token’:
Start entering ‘hitchin’ in the search that comes up:
Select this token:
Then select your delivery. Cheapest delivery should be fine. If you combine with another parent, you can split delivery costs. As shirts need to be embroidered they can take a while.
6. Returns and growing out of shirts
To reemphasise: once shirts have been customised, they cannot be returned because they are the wrong size. They can only be returned if there is a problem with the quality / printing.
We have used the same shirt for all players at the club (even the coaches have one). This means that once you grow out of your shirt, if you want to pass it on to others then you can do it. Please speak to us about this. If you have a good-condition shirt with the Hitchin Futsal badge on it and no other printing then this can be perfectly passed on to another player. Please come and speak to us about doing so. Recipients are often willing to pay a small amount of money towards the handed-on shirt.
