UKL introduces some of its teamwear options for 2008/2009
Published:  31 October, 2008

Following the recent success of Team GB in the Olympics and Paralympics, many gyms, sports clubs and associations have reported increased interest from the public spurred on by a wave of national euphoria.

To help this new influx of fresh blood fit in, what better way to build a team spirit than to have a co-ordinated team identity. UKL stocks team and sports wear for all ages and activities.

First out of the starting blocks is the UKL exclusive Phase One, which provides matching and co-ordinated team and sports wear for men, women and children. From track suits to shorts and polos to trunks, Phase one can provide a co-ordinated team look from age 3 to 3XL in selected products. The Phase One range is also complimented with Phase One Performance.

Phase One Performance delivers technical training kit manufactured using the latest sports fabrics, ensuring ease of care, comfort and most importantly the ability to dress all teams from the under 11's through to the seniors and coaches in the same kit. The Phase One range is used by both professional and amateur teams across the UK.

The products ranking highly in UKL's medal table this year have been the PH27/PH27B and PH29/PH29B shower-proof tracksuit top and pants and the PH68/PH68B training sweatshirt manufactured from the latest moisture wicking fabrics.

The collection also includes wet and dry training tops and bottoms, polo shirts, sports socks and swimwear.

Also exclusive to UKL, is the American Sportswear brand ALO (Air - Land - Ocean) utilising an array of technical and performance fabrics in its sports and leisure wear, making them perfect for the gym or fitness club.

Among this top quality collection you can find fabrics such as "Bamboo Jersey" which blends bamboo lyocell and cotton spandex to create a lightweight, breathable jersey fabric. This has naturally inherent properties that wick moisture and is anti-bacterial, hypoallergenic and breathable with no added chemical treatments.

Another of the performance fabrics used is "Circle Knit Jacquard", most common in the Alo men's line: used both face-up and face down for contrast texture. The fabric back has thin, recessed textured circles that create a faint pattern on the surface. Heavier in weight but very breathable it features dry wicking capabilities which draw moisture away, keeping you cool and comfortable, with an added anti-bacterial treatment to prevent the increase of bacteria to help keep clothes odor free.

Another brand of technical sportswear to come from the UKL training camp, is the Coolactive range. Launched exclusively through UKL, the whole collection is based on Coolmax fibre.

This unique fibre has a greater surface area than traditional polyester and draws moisture away from the body and onto the surface of the garment where body heat causes it to evaporate. Comprising both 100% Coolmax and 50% Coolmax / 50% Cotton blends across long and short sleeved T shirt styles, training tops and running vests. The collection comes in core team colours of white, red, black, royal and navy blue.

To compliment this range, UKL is also introducing the new Coolactive ThermoCool products for 2009.  Perfect for all sports, ThermoCool can also be worn under work clothes both indoors and outdoors to keep the wearer comfortable throughout the day.

Say "team sports" to most people and for many the first thing to come to mind is football...Once again UKL is able to offer football kit from famous brands such as Kappa and Uhlsport.

With a worldwide presence, and a truly global appeal Kappa, the Italian sports and teamwear brand, can now be yours. Kappa4Team, available from UKL shares the same brand pedigree and technical characteristics as many of the team strips in use throughout the world in football clubs from local to international level. All items feature the unmistakable Kappa brand logo.

A new signing for the 2009 season is Uhlsport. Since its inception over 50 years ago Uhlsport has grown from catering exclusively for goalkeepers, to become a football brand that caters for every aspect of the game.

With sports such as running becoming more popular, UKL will be offering in its 2009 collection, a selection of running and sportswear clothing from James & Nicholson. Adapted for most sporting activities, the collection includes light-weight fabrics which are comfortable on the skin, and are moisture wicking, breathable and fast-drying. Safety while jogging in the dark is also a consideration with many garments featuring reflective details.

While golf is not yet an Olympic sport, UKL is ideally suited to cater for the most fashion conscious golf fan, with the premium brands of Cutter & Buck, PGA Tour, and new for 2009, Calvin Klein Golf.

 The range of Cutter and Buck available from UKL includes polo shirts in male and female styles in 100% Pima Cotton and Pima Cotton blends featuring Drytec finishes and Microfibre jackets with Weathertec finishes. PGA TOUR is also back at UKL with revamped styling and competitive pricing.

The new kid on the UKL block for sports and golf wear will be Calvin Klein Golf. 

Finally, one of the long standing brands at UKL is the Gamegear brand from KustomKit.  Styled for club, team and sports wear, Gamegear offers unbeatable performance and value for a diverse range of sports.
