Airsoft Jerseys

[Ripready]

I was wondering if there is any interest in airsoft jerseys. Not the military spec or replica stuff that guys like Crye make. But I guess more like sportswear using hi tech breathable materials in a camouflage pattern.

My company makes sportswear and we're looking at non-traditional markets. We have various materials available like drifit, compression/underarmour, vented mesh, etc...

What does everyone think? Is the preference more to wear replica stuff?

What would you like to see in the garment? Loose fitting, more compression fitting (like the Crye stuff), materials, etc...

Thanks for the info

Absolutely not. This isn't paintball. My 0.02.

Sorry, that wont work here.

Paintball is paintball, Airsoft is airsoft, And airsoft defenately isnt the sport to be wearing jerseys in.

I'm coming from the assumption that he knows airsofters aren't interested in paintball style jerseys.
I think the jist of it is whether there'd be a market for t-shirts (long or short?) in a camo pattern made from breathable sportswear material.

I dunno. There might be.
I played a game in an Under Armour loose long sleeve T (OD) today. I'm swapping through my gear, so no vest on.
If you can get some decent patterns, I'd be interested. I like not wearing BDU tops on hot days. Plus it was just a casual skirmish (newbie day).

Thats something im not intersted in at all.

[Styrak]

Not interested. Like was said, this isn't paintball. Or football. We wear BDU's and combat vests/chest rigs/plate carriers.

maybe if they made bds and gear that was very breathable like football jerseys and what not then yea i could see that being of some interest. but that probly already exists

[super_six_four]

you guys summed it all up for me too, for our airsoft store we do have t-shirts and we did t-shirts to give away for a trip to melville but thats about it, nothing in the way of jerseys

[Ripready]

Maybe jerseys was the wrong choice of words I just got some info from another forum and the stuff I'm thinking of is similar to what Massif sells. But I want to refocus the conversation here. I want to build something for the market, I'm not saying here is my football, hockey, etc... jersey, do you want to use it for airsoft?

I'm asking if there is a market for those airsoft people who don't want to dress up in authentic gear and want a little more of a performance garment (ie. breathable, etc...). The hardcore guys definitely want the real looking stuff. But they're also the guys that will spend thousands on their airsoft guns. It's the guys that go out there wearing the t-shirts that I'm interested in hearing from

i dont think anybody skirmishes in t shirts. try america for that crap
better yet make hoodies and baggy jeans. thats what all the kids with walmart pistols down here wear when theyre shooting each other

thats a neat looking g36 btw

[Ripready]

Thanks KNIVEZS that's exactly the type of garment I'm thinking of making. But there's got to be something specific to airsoft. I mean does every airsoft person want to run around looking authentic?

you might want to be a little more helpful with your criticism....

underarmour is really neat stuff and I was using an UA shirt underneath my BDU's for the longest time until it was lost during a move. For those that dont know what underarmour is I suggest looking into it. When you sweat during rounds of airsoft, a UA short will keep you dry and keeps you cooled off as well! A friend had a UA skullcap for under his boonie and loved it!

As for airsoft wise, really I don't see people wearing anything like that while playing airsoft unless it was something under their BDU and even then you can buy that already.

And I'm not sure how well trying to make a BDU have the same properties as US will work but that I might be interested in!

UA is a brand of clothing headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, designed for use in sports. Under Armour led the trend of form-fitting, moisture-wicking performance apparel.

Many soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan wear Under Armour or similar moisture-wicking clothing for some relief in the hot climate.
