Youth vs. Adult Uniform Sizing & MOQ: What School And Club Buyers Need To Know.
A roster is rarely one size — here's how sizing and MOQ actually work together on a real team order.
MOQ Applies To The Design, Not Each Size
Our 20-piece bulk MOQ is per style/design, not per individual size — so a 20-piece order can be split across youth small through adult XL in whatever mix your actual roster needs, at no extra cost for the size spread. See our full MOQ guide for how this works more generally.
Youth Sizing Isn't Just A Scaled-Down Adult Cut
Youth garments need a genuinely different pattern proportion, not simply a smaller version of the adult block — shoulder width, torso length and sleeve proportion all scale differently for a growing body. We grade youth sizes from their own pattern, not by shrinking the adult one.
What A Real Roster Order Looks Like
A typical school or club roster order might include youth S/M/L for younger players and adult S through XL for the rest of the squad — all in the same design and colourway, produced and packed together, numbered and sized per player before it ships.
What To Send Us For An Accurate Size Breakdown
- A rough size breakdown of your roster (how many youth vs. adult, and which sizes)
- Whether players are numbered individually or the kit is unnumbered stock
- Your target season start date, so we can confirm a realistic timeline
Send that and we'll confirm your order fits inside a single 20-piece bulk MOQ, or tell you exactly what a larger roster would need. See our teamwear and football kit pages for the categories most roster orders draw from.
