About Us

We are working with local sports clubs in and around the UK supplying training wear, leisurewear and playing kit. We are keen to speak with anyone currently involved in Rugby League, Rugby Union, Netball, Football, Rowing & Cycling as we feel that we have products which will enable you to perform on game day.

Working with our in-house designers we are able to design a completely bespoke one-off kit, manufactured and delivered within 4 weeks. Our aim at 1895 Sports is to provide you with a service that you would expect from a kit supplier that has your club, and you as an individual, at the core of its design process. We do not want you turning up to play against a team that wears the same kit as you, because your current supplier doesn’t offer bespoke designed kit. So, we will not make you a kit that any other team already has. Our ethos is to offer products priced right, delivered on time and to your requirements, without any hassle.
