OUR STORY

Knockout Sportswear is a family owned and operated manufacturing company specializing in sublimated athletic sports apparel. The family originates from Tauranga – in fact the maternal grandmother milked cows on the Strand in the early 1920’s. Knockout Sportswear has been manufacturing sports apparel for 21 years and has an additional 25 years of apparel manufacturing experience before that.

Our goal is to provide individually unique, innovative, and quality sporting apparel at the best possible price. KO has over 256,000 colours in its library and is a one stop shop for all your sports apparel needs. Don’t look like everyone else albeit in different colours, stand out from crowd and KNOCKOUT the competition
We offer full design and manufacturing services for your school or club. KO specializes in sublimation printing, where any design is possible! Our dye sublimation process involves using unique sublimation inks and special sublimation transfer paper.

The designs are first printed onto the transfer paper and then when placed under high temperature, the ink is impregnated permanently into the fibres of the fabric. This process guarantees your uniforms will never crack fade or peel. That means you can enjoy your uniforms for years to come. We never phase out your design – it is available for you forever..
