One club.
Men and women.

Most hockey clubs run men’s and women’s sides on the same badge. We build both on the same colour standard, with the fit differences handled in the pattern rather than by ordering a smaller men’s shirt.

Fabric selection

Every Fabric We Run for Hockey

Not a highlight reel — this is the full working list, including the trims and secondary materials that decide whether a kit survives a season. Weights are the ranges we actually run; the exact specification is fixed at sampling.

Only polyester can be sublimated — and it must start white

Dye sublimation bonds ink into polyester fibres, so it cannot be used on cotton, on nylon, or on fabric that has already been dyed dark. If your design needs all-over colour, stripes, hoops or gradients, it has to be built on one of the sublimation-ready knits below. Everything else is decorated by embroidery, transfer or screen print instead. Fabrics are tagged accordingly.

Match kit — shirts, skorts & shorts

6 options

Run slightly denser than football kit. Sand and water-based astroturf is abrasive, and the failure point is usually wear at the hip and elbow rather than a seam giving way.

How to measure

Measure a garment the squad already wears and compare it to the tables above — it is far more reliable than measuring bodies.

ABC
A
ChestMeasure flat, 2.5 cm below the armhole, seam to seam. Double it for the full circumference.
B
Body lengthFrom the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
C
SleeveFrom the shoulder seam to the sleeve opening.

FIH Rules of Hockey

Hockey Kit Rules We Build To

Hockey kit rules are shorter than most codes but strict on two points: the goalkeeper must be unmistakable, and nothing on the kit may be dangerous to other players. We build to both by default.

Goalkeeper must be distinguishable
The FIH rules require the goalkeeper to wear a shirt of a different colour from both teams. In practice that means specifying a keeper colour that clashes with your home kit, your away kit and the colours you commonly face.
Smocks are cut over protection
A keeper wears chest and arm protection under the smock. It must be cut oversized enough to pull on over armour and stay down when they move — a standard shirt one size up does not do it.
Nothing rigid or sharp
Kit must not carry anything that could be dangerous to another player. That rules out hard-edged applications and rigid trims on playing garments, which is one reason we sublimate rather than apply thick vinyl.
Field players wear the same kit
All field players in a team must wear identical uniform. Mixed batches from different suppliers or dye lots will show on the pitch — the reason we record your colour standard against your account for reorders.
Numbers and competition marks
Most national associations require numbers of a set minimum height with clear contrast. On a striped or panelled shirt this generally needs a solid backing panel behind the number.

Rules change and competitions add their own. Send your competition handbook with the brief and we will lay the artwork out inside its limits — a routine part of our design step, not an extra.

Custom hockey manufacturing, in detail

Addahar Enterprises manufactures complete custom field hockey kits for clubs, schools, universities and distributors. Hockey has a particular set of requirements that a generic teamwear supplier tends to miss: most clubs field men’s and women’s sides under one badge, the goalkeeper wears a garment cut to fit over bulky body armour, and half the squad wants a skort rather than shorts.

We handle all three in the pattern rather than as an afterthought. Women’s shirts run on their own block through the shoulder and bust, skorts are made with a secure inner short and a flat waistband that sits under a shirt, and goalkeeper smocks are cut deliberately oversized so they pull on over chest and arm protection without riding up.

Kit also takes a beating on sand and water-based astroturf, which is more abrasive than grass. We recommend a slightly denser knit for hockey than we would for football, because the failure point is usually abrasion at the hip and elbow rather than seam failure.

OEM, ODM & Private Label

How we work with you depends on how much of the design you already own. All four routes run through the same factory and the same quality process.

Who We Make For

The garments are the same. The paperwork, pricing and process differ — pick the route that matches how you buy.

Hockey Manufacturing FAQs

The questions we are asked most often, answered straight.

What is the minimum order for custom hockey kits?

Sublimated hockey shirts start at 20 pieces per design, and the run can be all different sizes and a mix of men’s and women’s fits. That counts as one design, not two.

Can we order men’s and women’s fits in the same design?

Yes, and most clubs do. The women’s shirt runs on its own block through the shoulder, bust and waist, but it prints from the same artwork so both sides look identical on the pitch.

Do you make skorts as well as shorts?

Yes. Our skort has a secure inner short and a flat waistband that sits comfortably under a tucked shirt. Squads commonly order a mix of skorts and shorts within one order.

Can you make goalkeeper smocks that fit over body armour?

Yes. Keeper smocks are cut deliberately oversized so they pull on over chest and arm protection and stay down in play. Tell us which brand of armour your keeper wears and we will allow for it.

Will the kit survive sand-based astroturf?

That is exactly why we recommend a denser knit for hockey than for football. The usual failure on hockey kit is abrasion at the hip and elbow rather than a seam, so the fabric choice matters more than the stitching.

Can you match our existing club colours?

Yes. Send a Pantone reference or a physical shirt and we will match to it, then record the recipe against your account so next season’s order comes back the same.

Can you add player names and numbers?

Yes. Numbers are sublimated into the shirt at production, or applied by transfer afterwards if you need to add a late signing without a new production run.

Do you supply junior and school sizes?

Yes, on an age-band youth block. We recommend requesting a size set before committing to a full junior-section run.

Can you produce under our own brand label?

Yes. Under private label we apply your woven neck label, hem tab and care label and pack to your specification, with no Addahar branding on the garment.

How long does a hockey kit order take?

Samples in 7–10 working days from artwork approval, bulk in 15–20 working days after sign-off, and repeat orders from an existing pattern in 10–14 working days.
