The six rooms of the kit desk

Six services,
one squad sheet,
Matchday

KINHO SPORTS LIMITED organises its work into six fixed services so a club always knows which room to call. Each one is described in full below, from the first measurement to the returning sheet after an away trip. Every service is delivered from the Wayson Commercial Building office at Rm 510 Wayson Commercial Building, 28 Connaught Road West, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong (HK).

Plan a kit build with the desk

Service one

Jersey Program Builds

A jersey program build is the starting point for any club that wants a coherent set of shirts rather than a one off order. We begin with a design conversation: the colours that cannot change, the collar shape the committee prefers, the sleeve trim that survived last season, and the sponsors that must appear. From that we draw up a home, away and, where useful, third kit, all agreeing with each other so the squad looks like one club across the whole year.

Samples are produced before the full run. A sample is worn at a training session so players can comment on fit, sleeve length and neck comfort while there is still time to change the pattern. Only once the sample is signed off does the full build begin, which keeps awkward surprises away from the first competitive fixture.

The finished program arrives with a written record of every colour code, collar reference and mark position, so a replacement shirt ordered two seasons later matches the original without anyone relying on a photograph taken under floodlights.

Service two

Training Wear Rounds

Training wear rounds cover the layers worn on a Tuesday night rather than a Saturday afternoon: training shirts, mid layers, shorts and socks that survive constant washing. We size training wear in the same visit as the match kit, so a player does not end up with a match shirt that fits and a training top that does not.

Rounds are planned around the number of sessions a squad runs each week and the number of players who share a changing room. The desk keeps a record of the sizes that wear out fastest, which is usually the mid layer for younger age groups, and includes a small buffer in each round so a late arrival is not left out.

Colours are matched to the match program so the squad looks consistent in photographs and on the touchline, with the club mark placed at the same height on training and match wear alike.

Service three

Squad Kit Logistics

Squad kit logistics is the quiet service that keeps a club sane on away days. Every player receives a numbered bag holding the correct shirt, shorts and socks, and each age group travels in a labelled crate with a returning sheet fixed to the lid. The sheet lists what left the office so the club can tick items back in after the match.

We plan the crate layout with the coach, because a well organised crate is faster to pack on a wet evening than a pile of loose shirts. Spare socks, a spare shirt in the two most common sizes and a small repair kit travel with every group, which resolves most last minute problems without a phone call.

After each trip the returning sheet is checked and any missing or damaged items are logged against the club account, so the season restock desk knows exactly what needs replacing and when.

Service four

Name Set Pressing

Name set pressing places surnames, shirt numbers and sponsor blocks to a measured layout agreed with the club. The layout is written down before pressing begins, so the first shirt and the last shirt of a squad carry the name at the same height and the same distance from the shoulder seam.

Every pressed shirt is checked name by name against the squad sheet before packing. This is deliberately slow work for a small team, because a misspelled surname is the one mistake players remember for years. Where a club uses accents or double barrelled names, we confirm the spelling in writing before the letters are cut.

Replacement name sets for a single shirt are handled at the same desk, and the club keeps the original layout record so a later shirt still matches the rest of the squad.

Service five

Season Restock Desk

The season restock desk is a standing service rather than a single order. We keep a running sheet for each club and watch the sizes that disappear fastest, the players who join mid season, and the items that come back damaged from away trips. From that record we propose a restock round before the club runs short.

Restocks are planned around the fixture list, so a top up arrives between match days rather than the morning of a cup tie. Late signings are handled through the same desk, with a quick fit and a pressed name set turned around ahead of the next fixture where the schedule allows.

At the end of the season the desk produces a short written summary of what the club actually used, which helps the next jersey program build start from real numbers rather than guesswork.

Service six

Kit Fitting Evenings

Kit fitting evenings bring the sizing room to the clubhouse. We arrive on a weeknight with a range of sizing shirts, measure players in small groups and record every result on a single sheet. Coaches can watch the process and raise questions on the night, which is far easier than a round of messages the following week.

The measured sheet is returned to the desk the same night and logged the next morning. Any revision, such as a longer sleeve for a goalkeeper or a smaller chest size for a fast winger, is written onto the same record so the order and the fit stay in agreement.

Most clubs book two fitting evenings a season, one before the first match and one around the winter break, because younger squads change shape across the year. The second visit is also a good moment to review what has worn out and feed that into the season restock desk.

How the work moves

A process overview from first call to returning sheet

  1. Brief and outline

    We gather the squad size, colours that cannot change and the first fixture date, then send a written outline of the plan.

  2. Fitting and sample

    Players are measured at the clubhouse and a sample is worn at training before the full build is approved.

  3. Press and pack

    Name sets are pressed to the agreed layout, checked name by name, then bagged by player and crated by age group.

  4. Travel and return

    Each crate leaves with a returning sheet and comes back checked, so the restock desk knows exactly what to replace.

The season restock window opens again soon, and clubs can book a fitting evening through the contact page while the schedule is being drawn up.

Tell the desk which room you need

If you are unsure which service fits your situation, describe the club and the fixture date and we will point you to the right starting point. A jersey program build often follows a first fitting evening, and a season restock desk usually begins once a club has one full set of kits in use.

Write to reception@nanyangoverseas.autos or call +13097188740 between Monday and Friday, nine in the morning until six in the evening Hong Kong time.
