ZEON Teamwear – Supplying sports clubs in the UK since 1984.
Zeon was founded in 1984 with the aim of manufacturing cutting edge team kits for sports clubs across the UK. For more than 30 years, we have specialised in short runs of custom-made team kits and training gear. In fact, our Rotherham factory was the first in the UK to do just that.
A long history in the industry has given us a wealth of technical expertise in garment development, sourcing and distribution. We have pioneered the use of lightweight technical fabrics for club shirts and waterproof fabrics for training jackets, all made to order in club colours. It’s a heritage of which we are very proud.
As well as sports clubs, we have supplied specialist PE uniform to many of Britain’s most prestigious schools and universities. In addition, we have provided team kits to professional football clubs like Leicester City and Rotherham United, as well as Bath, Wasps and Bristol in rugby union. The clubs we work with are our motivation to continue improving.
We are always evolving to stay ahead of the game. Rebranding as Zeon in 2009, our UK-based design team offers clubs the very latest in sport fashion. If you’re looking for kit that is reliable, durable and stylish, then you’ve come to the right place.
Sedex Ethical Production
At Zeon, we think it’s about more than just style and value. We also want to make a difference. That’s why our garments are manufactured at SEDEX Accredited factories in the UK and abroad.
SEDEX is a world-leading organisation dedicated to improving ethical and responsible business practices in the global supply chain.
In addition, all our fabrics and trimming are sourced from suppliers that hold environmental certification.

GET IN TOUCHThe Technical Story – Design, Innovation and Technology:
High Performance Layering System:
The weather – whether it’s hot, cold, wet or windy – has a major impact on performance. We know you compete at your best at a constant core body temperature of 37 degrees. And that the weather changes. That’s why we use specialist fabrics and engineered garment fits to create the ultimate layering system for all conditions.
Our Fabrics are split into 3 families:
Cool in the heat – NxGen, lightweight performance fabrics that are used for playing and training.
Dry in the rain – Outer fabrics that block the wind and rain.
Warm when it’s cold – Thermal fabrics designed to keep you warm.
NxGen Fabric System (Next Generation):
Our NxGen fabric system has been developed exclusively for us. Fabrics are designed to maintain your core body temperature and keep you in the peak performance zone. Heat and vent ducts actively move heat and sweat away from the skin, keeping the body cool. Fabrics are quick dry and breathable for superior comfort.
Dynamic Fit:
It all starts with the athlete. We test new garment fits with our brand ambassadors and partners clubs. We create the initial fit, then tweak and re-test until it’s perfect. Then we add great design. Design always follows function.
Introducing Team ZEON
Our specialist design and administration team is based in the UK. But behind the scenes there is a much larger organisation. Our factory in China has over 400 workers, meaning we can scale up to meet any demand.
The ZEON Community
It’s our experience in the industry that sets us apart from other brands. Our heritage is in manufacturing sportswear. The company grew from its roots in small manufacturing unit in Basildon, Essex making cricket shirts for local clubs.
It progressed on to a factory of 60 machinists in our current hometown of Rotherham, making sports kits for leading teamwear brands and clubs across the UK. Garments are now sourced off-shore and our latest creation, Zeon, is a leading UK sportswear brand.
We are more than a sales and marketing company. We understand production from design to pattern-making to cutting and sewing, as well as the development of technical fabrics. We don’t source for the lowest price to maximise profit. Our goal is quality.
That leads us to our partner factory in China – who we think is the best around. We realise a strong profitable supplier base will innovate in the very latest manufacturing processes and invest back into the communities who produce our garments. We know what it takes to provide a safe working environment.
Co-founder, Reuben Herbert: ‘My key role is to make regular visits our partner factory in China. It’s not merely meeting with our friends who own and run the factory. I work on the shop floor with the workers to get a clear insight into work practices and conditions.’
