New Year, New Jerseys: Why January Is the Perfect Time to Order

A new year brings a fresh start for teams at every level. New goals, new energy, and for many programs, a new look. January is one of the smartest times to start planning and ordering custom jerseys, and teams that act early set themselves up for a smoother, more successful season ahead.

At K1 Sportswear, January is when many organizations begin preparing for what is next. Whether it is spring competition, summer tournaments, or the next hockey season, early planning creates better results.

More Time for Design and Details

Ordering in January gives teams the flexibility to focus on design without pressure. Colors, logos, striping, fonts, and alternate jerseys can all be finalized with care instead of rushing decisions later in the year. This leads to a finished product that truly represents the program.

Stronger Planning and Fewer Surprises

Early orders help teams avoid the bottlenecks that occur later in the season. By starting in January, programs gain clearer timelines, better production availability, and peace of mind knowing their uniforms are already in motion.

Consistency Across Your Program

January is also an ideal time to evaluate branding across all levels. Many clubs use this window to align home, away, and alternate jerseys or to standardize looks across multiple teams. A unified appearance strengthens identity and professionalism.

A Fresh Look to Match New Goals

Uniforms are more than apparel. They reflect commitment, pride, and momentum. Starting the year with a new look reinforces a team’s goals and gives players something to rally around as the season moves forward.

Start 2026 the Right Way

If new jerseys are part of your plans, January offers the best opportunity to design, plan, and execute without stress.
