SPORTS CLUBS KITTED OUT IN 2020
PRINT-ONDEMAND Print-on-demand is a new model that allows us to create customised products that are printed and embroidered after an order has been placed. With on-demand printing, the club won’t need to hold any physical inventory. For the 21/22 season we will be holding over £300,000 worth of Y1 kit in our state-of-the-art warehouse and embellishment centre. By having this kit readily available in the UK, it allows for very quick turnaround times. Why is print-on-demand better? • • • • • •
Reduces waste Reduces Air Miles Quicker turnaround More efficient No upfront cost Less risk
WORN BY THE BEST All of our products go through a strict prototype and sampling process to make sure they are optimised for gameplay and training. During this process, all garments are tested by our internal team and our international players.

CLUB DAY At the start of any kit partnership we like to kick things off with a bang by hosting a Y1 Club Day! We'll show off your new kit and allow members to try on and purchase their new stash. We'll bring down our Y1 inflatable pitch, host mini games, give out prizes and let members test out our latest hockey stick range and equipment. A great way to launch your new kit and market your club via Y1's vast social media reach, boosting your online presence.
