Auckland's go-to studio for custom team uniforms
Tribal Designz is an Auckland-based custom apparel studio specialising in custom uniforms for sports teams, schools, churches and cultural groups across Tāmaki Makaurau. From South Auckland rugby clubs to North Shore basketball squads, from West Auckland touch teams to inner-city school cultural festivals, we've outfitted hundreds of groups across the region.
Every kit we make is fully custom — no off-the-shelf templates, no generic clip art. Our designers sit down with you (or jump on a video call), understand who you are, what colours you wear, what symbols matter to your group, and then build a uniform that feels unmistakably yours. The result: team uniforms Auckland clubs and schools actually want to wear.
What we make
- Custom rugby uniforms — jerseys, shorts, warm-ups, hoodies
- Custom basketball jerseys & shorts
- School cultural-group uniforms (kapa haka, Pasifika dance, choir)
- Church youth-group tees, polos & hoodies
- Touch, league, sevens & corporate sports kits
- Event polos, branded staff tees, supporter merch
Why Auckland teams choose Tribal Designz
We're not a print broker. We're a design-led studio that happens to also manufacture. That means every uniform we ship has had a designer — not a software template — shaping the layout, balancing the patterns, picking the typeface, and making sure your sponsor logos sit where they should. It's the same level of design care a professional rugby franchise gets, made accessible for community clubs.
We're also Pasifika and Māori-led, which matters when culture is part of the brief. We know which patterns are appropriate for which contexts, how to honour rather than appropriate, and how to translate iconography into apparel that the older generation in your club will respect.
Serving teams across Auckland & NZ
We work with clubs and schools right across the city — Manukau, Otara, Mangere, Otahuhu, Onehunga, Mt Roskill, Mt Albert, Henderson, Te Atatu, Massey, Glenfield, Takapuna, Albany, and everywhere in between. We deliver across Auckland and ship NZ-wide to Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and beyond.
Two ways to order
Most teams choose our Premium Custom Uniforms pathway: fully designed-with-you kits, 10+ unit minimum, 2–3 week turnaround, full sublimated print. For events and small groups who need something quickly, our Fast Print (DTF) service delivers in as little as 72 hours with no minimum-order pressure.
Pricing & lead times
Pricing depends on the garment, fabric weight, print complexity and quantity — but every quote is transparent and itemised. As a rough guide, premium custom rugby jerseys start around mid-range club pricing and drop significantly per-unit at higher volumes (40+ kits). Standard turnaround is 2–3 weeks from artwork sign-off; rush options are available.
