About the Club
Built around Mainliners .
Mainliners are a grassroots football club shaped by the people who pull on the shirt every week — committee, coaches, players, families. The brief was simple: build a kit that reflects who they really are, on and off the pitch, and gives the club something it can be proud to wear for years.
Design Direction
The thinking behind the kit.
The design started with the club itself — colours, story, environment, attitude — and worked outward from there. Every decision was made to sharpen the identity rather than dilute it: cleaner structure, stronger contrast, considered detailing, and a silhouette that looks unmistakably Mainliners. Nothing copied from a catalogue. Nothing left to chance.
Key Design Features
Built into every detail.
Custom Crest Integration
The badge sits inside the design, not on top of it — anchored, balanced and impossible to miss.
Sponsor-Ready Layout
Sponsor placements are designed into the structure so logos feel intentional, premium and clean from kick-off.
Tonal Pattern Work
Subtle tonal patterning adds depth up close while keeping a strong, confident silhouette from the stands.
Performance Fabric Feel
Lightweight, breathable knit built for matchday intensity — comfort that doesn't compromise on look.

A closer look at the finished identity.
Club testimonial
“Working with Hackin Sportswear has been brilliant from start to finish. The communication throughout the process was spot on and the mockups really helped bring our ideas to life before production. The quality of the kits and training wear exceeded expectations and the attention to detail on the custom design made the whole range stand out. The lads absolutely love wearing them and we’ve already had loads of positive comments from parents and other teams. Would highly recommend Hackin Sportswear to any grassroots club looking for something unique and professional.”

Visual Impact
On the pitch, the kit reads instantly — strong shape from distance, premium detail up close. It gives Mainliners a presence that lifts the whole club, not just the eleven on the team sheet.
Final Outcome
A kit with presence on and off the pitch.
This isn't just a new shirt for Mainliners. It's a reset of how the club looks, feels and presents itself — a kit built to carry the club's identity into its next chapter.
