On the behalf of the Peoples and the Governments of The Valhallan Union, the Valhallan Union Commission for Trade and Investment is proud to unveil their new flagship pioneer outreach program - the Valhallan Kits Storefront. By forging domestic partnerships with five of the Union's most recognisable sportswear companies - Arangur, Frabrikken, Infinitex, Knutesport, and Oks - the officials at VUCTI are excited to announce this opportunity, the likes of which has never been seen before in the Union, for our international friends and neighbours to do business with our most commercially valuable sportswear brands and wear their colours.
For decades, the kits worn proudly by our own national and domestic sports teams have been admired throughout the Multiverse, and whilst some isolated deals have taken place, on the whole the business outreach and international aim of these companies has been limited to home markets. However, with the bargaining power of VUCTI behind them, this is about to change. The sportswear companies of the Union are open for business. Enquire below.
AVAILABLE DESIGN PACKAGES
ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL
Predominantly, it is expected that the kits offered through this VUCTI Storefront will be football kits, and to that end the five companies involved are prepared to offer their services to both domestic and international football teams.
Domestic Teams:
MAY ORDER UP TO THE FOLLOWING:
- Home jersey
- Away jersey
- Badge
OR
- 'Factbox' (as defined below)
International Teams:
MAY ORDER UP TO THE FOLLOWING:
- Home jersey
- Away jersey
- Goalkeeper jersey
- Badge
OR
- 'Factbox' (as defined below)
OTHER SPORTS
Kits for other sports are also available, but please note that these will not be made in a format that explicitly represents the jerseys of other sports, and therefore not all will be applicable. Ice hockey, athletics, american football, or any other sport that uses a jersey or equipment shaped dramatically differently to that used in association football will likely not be suitable applications for VUCTI Storefront kits. Please note, only international teams will be considered for other sports.
International Teams:
MAY ORDER UP TO THE FOLLOWING:
- Home jersey
- Away jersey
- Badge

RULES AND ELIGIBILITY

- OR must belong to one of the top 50 UICA nations and have featured in the latest CC or GC Group Stages
- Must not have had a kit made by another kit maker, including VUCTI, within the last five UICA cycles
- Must not have any pending orders with other kit makers, including VUCTI

- Must use the VUCTI provided kit for minimum two WCC cycles
- The same VUCTI Provided kit must be worn by all variations of the same international team [i.e. Senior Squad, u21s, Women's, Olympic, etc...]
Other International Sports Teams:
- Must be signed up to their respective current/next international competition cycle [by which is defined the accepted 'main' competition for that sport on NS - not just any tournament]

Additional Factbox Rule:
- Assuming all other conditions are met, the nation must also be a nation that I have interacted with in the past, and therefore trust enough to put this much effort in
General Rules:
- All kits are made by me, for fun, in my free time. If I think an order takes the piss or is unreasonable, I won't do it
- If I think an order will look daft, I'll tell you. I take pride in these designs and have no intentions of issuing any kit with garish lime green and vivid lilac pinstripes with deep mustard shorts. I'll work with you to provide a suitable design, or use my own artistic discretion to alter it accordingly
- Almost all designs are possible, with the notable exception that if any special pre-existing images or designs are required for the kit - i.e. an artwork or a fractal - then you must either provide it or show me where I can find it online
- You cannot order too much at once. Specifically, you can't order a factbox and all that comes with it (badge, big home kit, etc) and a set of away and goalie kits at the same time
ORDER FORMS
For specific orders please go into as much detail as is necessary. Otherwise, if you want to give me artistic freedom, say so. If you want me to emulate an existing kit or base a design on a real life kit, this is also possible so long as its not a rip-off of another nation/kit on NS you don't already own. At the very least however, some kind of badge, or colour palette, is required for me to get started. For international kits this could be as simple as "colours from the flag", but for domestic kits direction will be needed. If you have existing images that require inclusion, post them or a link to them. All images provided by you need to have a transparent background, or, if not possible, a white one. Don't rush me, for as long as the status is OPEN, I'll get round to working on orders as and when I have the time. I retain all artistic discretion and will check things like eligibility when I process the order.
Please note you don't have to order everything possible on the order form. Feel free to delete/edit as applicable to your situation. If you don't mind in any section, simply allow my full artistic direction. However, if you do have an idea, do go into as much detail as you can - for example: "Only include team name initials on the badge in a sans serif bold font of some sort. The badge itself should be an old sailing ship of some sort in a white circle with a black border". Alternatively, "some kind of mainly white kit with light blue trim" if also acceptable so long as the other fields regarding the badge and sponsor/squad number are entered as well.
Post orders in this thread only. Do not TG them.

MANUFACTURER DETAILS
ArangurInternational football kits are Arangur's bread and butter, often with subtle little patterns that break up large expanses of colour.
FabrikkenFabrikken specialise in domestic football kits, and often feature graduated or complex designs. All Fabrikken orders will include their trademark stripes down the arm [OOC: think Adidas but with four stripes], and no kits by other manufacturers will include these.
InfinitexOften standing out on a pitch due to their use of key, flat, bright graphic colour schemes, Infinitex are specialists in rugby kits, and carry that expertise through into their manufacturing of other sportswear.
KnutesportPioneered the use of mesh and grills for effective cooling, and are always at the cutting edge of sportswear technology. Fond of a fancy collar.
OksSpecialists in handball kit, though domestic and international football kits are their main earners.
