Team Stores & Online Player Ordering
How Team Stores Work
With any custom project, we start with the design work! VC's design team is the best in ultimate and we're standing by to make your dreams a reality.
A VC custom team store lets you offer any item we make and have players place orders individually (no more collecting swag money!), as well as the chance to offer your team's gear to the wider community as a fundraiser.
Step 1: Fill out a VC Design Brief here. Don't forget to send any logos/designs/drawings on the back of napkins to info@vcultimate.com.
Step 2: We'll review and get back to you with any questions, as well as make sure you have all the information you need on the styles you've listed in the brief (product info, order estimates, etc.).
Step 3: Our design team will get to work! Unless a faster deadline has been be requested, we'll have your first concept to you in 2-5 business days! Your VC sales and service team member will work with you to get feedback and revisions processed as efficiently as possible so that we can move on to the next stage.
Store Set-up
Setting up your VC store is easy: You tell us what you want to make available to your players for ordering, and we'll do all the work. It's that simple.
We're here to walk you through product options and ideas, and figure out the best team uniform line for your needs.
There are some restrictions such as the minimum for screen printed or embroidery orders being 15 units (i.e. if one player wants an embroidered visor, they might be out of luck!), and the minimum for sublimated orders being 5, but the good news is:
- We can use the same spot sublimated logo on different products! Why not offer a short and long sleeve version of your jersey to help get to the 5 unit minimum!
- We can print the same logo on multiple items! Why not offer a screen printed hoodie, long sleeve and t-shirt, knowing that you can print the same logo on all and lowering the number of units needed to 4 of each style!
Once your full line of designs is approved, we'll get your store all set-up with whatever information you would like communicated to your players, including outlining an order period that works for when you need the gear to ship by.
Ordering
Once you have fully approved your team store, we'll provide you with super simple instructions to send your players.
We'll leave it up to you if you'd like to promote your team store to friends/family/fans who are also welcome to order.
Logistical Note: Your players will visit your team site to place their orders online. We can either ship all orders out directly to the individual players, or set shipping costs to zero and send the gear out in bulk to a team contact - your choice.
If the uniforms going up in the team store include a discount, no other promotional discount can be applied to player orders for uniforms (except for the PICKUP code in conjunction with the bulk shipping option).

IT'S THAT SIMPLE!
Once the order period has ended, VC will provide you with a summary of all orders placed. At that point, you'll have the opportunity to place an additional order with any straggler uniforms required.
