Frequently Asked Questions

Kettlebell sport is an individual sport practiced in a club setting. The team trains together, the team travels together, but each athlete is on the platform alone with her two bells for ten minutes. Apparel that recognizes the individual within the club identity carries more weight here than in most team sports. Below is how a kettlebell club builds per-athlete custom apparel without losing the club look and without paying setup fees per athlete.

What goes on a personalized kettlebell sport shirt

Athlete first name (back hem, script): identifies the lifter from across the platform, looks clean as a casual wear feature
Weight class (sleeve or back upper): KG number printed in block letters, helps teammates and judges spot the right lifter at the right flight
Club logo (front chest): standard placement, ties every personalized shirt back to the team identity
Optional rank or year: rank designation (CMS, MS, MSIC) or first-meet year printed below the name

Layout standards across the team

The trick to per-athlete personalization without losing team look is to lock the front design and the back layout grid. Every shirt has the same club logo placement on the front chest, the same back hem script-name position, and the same sleeve weight-class block. What changes per piece is just the name and the class number. The team reads as a team from a distance, and up close each shirt belongs to its athlete.

How the club shop captures the name per order

The Pro Shops setup adds custom text fields to the shirt product page. When an athlete orders her shirt, she fills in her name and her current weight class. The system passes those fields to the print partner so each shirt comes off the printer with the right name and class number on the right athlete's shirt. Coaches can also place bulk orders on behalf of the team, entering the per-athlete data in a single batch.
