How to compare wholesale football jersey suppliers
Compare exact jersey references, sample evidence and a written mixed-order quote before choosing a football shirt supplier.
Start with the actual shirt, not a headline price
A useful supplier comparison starts with one identical reference. Record the club or national team, season label, home or away design, version and requested size. Two quotes described only as a football jersey can refer to different garments. Link the exact catalogue page in both enquiries so the supplier can identify the design you mean.
Ask for evidence that matches your order
Request current front and back photos of the selected reference, a close view of the badge and printing, and flat measurements for the requested size. Catalogue photographs are a starting point; they do not prove that a particular size is available today. If a sample is important to your buying decision, ask whether a sample of that exact reference can be supplied before deciding on a larger order.
Compare a mixed order line by line
Keep each reference, version, size and printing choice on its own row. Ask for the unit price and any printing charge separately, then obtain shipping costs for the same country and postcode. This makes a mixed-club enquiry easier to review and helps prevent a low headline quote from being compared with a different quantity or delivery arrangement.
Keep the agreed specification
Before payment, retain the final reference list, current photos and written quote. Ask the seller to state what happens if a requested item is unavailable and whether substitutions require your approval. Do not assume an independent catalogue is an official club or brand store; ask directly about the nature of the goods and any claimed authorization.
A like-for-like supplier comparison sheet
A low unit price is useful only when both quotes describe the same request. Keep an evidence column beside each supplier response so you can distinguish a clear answer from a field that still needs a reply.

| Compare | Evidence to keep | Question when the quotes differ |
|---|---|---|
| Garment | Product link, current front/back photos and supplied version | Are both sellers quoting the same design and version? |
| Size | Flat garment measurements and where the tape starts | Were the dimensions measured in the same way? |
| Unit | Shirt only, separate shorts or listed set contents | Does each quoted unit contain the same pieces? |
| Decoration | Exact text, placement and separate printing charge | Does the total include your requested decoration? |
| Destination | Same country/postcode and itemised delivery quote | Are the totals calculated for the same destination? |
Use a sample as a recorded comparison
If you arrange a sample, photograph the received reference and record its actual measurements. Keep the sample notes separate from any later bulk-order confirmation: a satisfactory sample is useful evidence about that item, not proof that every future reference will be identical.
Sample reference: __ Photos saved: front / back / label / requested print Measured flat: chest __ cm; body length __ cm Quoted contents: __ | Received contents: __ Differences to discuss before the next order: __
For a follow-up order, send the saved sample reference plus a new size-and-quantity list. Ask which details will be kept and which have changed; record the response before treating the repeat order as agreed.

Catalogue references
Catalogue photographs do not establish current stock.
Common questions
Does a catalogue photo confirm stock?
No. Confirm the exact reference and size with the seller before payment; a published image alone is not a live stock record.
What should I send Resnap for a mixed-order enquiry?
Send the product links, version, size and quantity for each shirt, plus your destination. Use the linked references below to start your list.
More questions about your selection
What should I compare before choosing the cheaper quote?
Check the reference, version, included pieces, quantity and decoration first. Then compare the itemised total for the same destination.
Does a good sample settle the specifications of a later order?
Keep it as a reference, but confirm the later order separately. Different styles, sizes or production batches need their own current specification.
