When should a kit design be ready for the new season?
Plan backwards from your team’s season start without guessing delivery time. Set club decision dates and request a free design proposal from AEVO.
Start with the date your club wants to be ready
A new season can seem distant when a team first discusses fresh kit. Then come design feedback, size collection, committee decisions and a final request, and suddenly everything lands in the same week. A better plan starts with the club’s own target date and works backwards—without pretending to know how long production or shipping will take.
Write down the occasion when the team hopes to wear the kit, perhaps its first home fixture. This is an internal planning target, not a supplier delivery promise. Break the time before it into decisions the club controls: who approves the visual direction and budget, when artwork will be supplied, when players need to share size information and when an authorised person can confirm the final request.
Work back from club decisions, not an imagined arrival date
Imagine a side aiming for the opening weekend. The coach needs time to gather views on the design, the treasurer must take the spending question to the committee and the team manager must collect information from players. Setting internal dates for each task helps expose bottlenecks while there is still room to act. It is more useful than assigning a guessed delivery date before the order details have been discussed.
This is an illustrative planning scene, not a statement about how quickly any order will be fulfilled. Timing depends on the specific request and should be confirmed in the current conversation. As you explore styles on AEVO’s kits page, ask what information is needed to assess a schedule for your particular order.
Leave room for review and changes
Do not put design approval, budget approval and the final squad list on the same last day. A sponsor artwork change or a corrected name may need another review. Nominate one person to consolidate comments so the club does not send contradictory directions. If the colours are still under discussion, keep that as an open decision instead of pretending a final deadline is settled. The club should have permission to use sponsor artwork, and player details should be checked against a current roster.
The fixture date may change, or another match may become the priority. Treat the schedule as a decision aid, not a guarantee. If a particular date matters, state it when you contact AEVO and ask what can realistically be confirmed once the request has been reviewed. AEVO advertises a free design mockup within 24 hours; that is not a delivery time for garments.
Make a plan that can absorb a change
A useful timeline leaves space between feedback, approval and the purchase decision. It tells each person what needs to happen next and when the club should check in to keep options open. Count backwards from the team’s intended use date, but rely on confirmed order and delivery information—not a hopeful calendar guess—for the actual supply plan.
