Your Pivotstar uniforms will last 4-6 seasons of roller derby and still look great. You should be focusing on playing roller derby! Not replacing your jerseys every year.

Designed to Roll Jerseys vs Ready to Roll Jerseys.

Designed to Roll Jerseys are custom designed and sublimated for each team. We work with you to create a work of art and then print the entire jersey, top to bottom with your design, logos, name and number. Ready to Roll Jerseys are just that, already made and ready to ship! We have a wide range of colours, fits and sizes available but keep in mind, whats left, is left. We are no longer making more of these.

Do you make Women's, Men's and Junior jerseys?

We make jerseys for all body types, preferences, ages and gender. We have decided not to label our sizing by "women's" or "men's" as you are free to wear what allows you to be comfortable. Our Unisex Sleeved Jersey looks great on everyone even though it is sized and structured off of a masculine fit.

How do the styles differ?

We have a range of style options, but our most popular ones were developed in collaboration with real derby skaters. Our Form Fit Jersey is a fitted shirt that is flattering on a wide range of body types. Our Sport Fit Jersey is a looser fit with a higher neckline. The Feminine Sleeved Jersey has a curve fit and the Unisex Sleeved Jersey has more of a boxy fit that is comparable to a standard masculine t-shirt. All are made using the same high quality, velcro-resistant material.

Can I lengthen or shorten my jersey?

We have adjusted our patterns to best fit all the needs that people have requested from us over the years. To best serve our customers and get orders out within a reasonable timeline we are not able to offer any modifications to our current styles.

Do these jerseys comply with WFTDA regulations?

Yes, these jerseys have been developed specifically for roller derby athletes. All uniforms comply with WFTDA uniform specifications eg. contrast panel sizing. Printing names and numbers will follow WFTDA uniform guidelines unless specified otherwise

What is your standard turn around time?

Our Ready to Roll jerseys are just that, ready to go! We can have them packed up and on their way to you in as little as 5 days. Our Designed To Roll jerseys are custom made for each team and skater. To begin the process we ask for 2 weeks to go through the design process and once we have the final mock-up approved and ready for print, we can have them ready for you within 6-8 weeks. This time allows us to create all the artwork digitally, print each jersey top to bottom using dye sublimation and then cut and sew. Please note that Jan to June are our bust months so the sooner you can get an order in, the better.

How durable is your fabric?

Our Ready to Roll Uniform Jerseys are made with a mid-weight supplex that is highly durable and long-lasting. Our Designed to Roll Uniform Jerseys are made with our patented FLYLYTE fabric that is ultra lightweight and beyond comfy! All Pivotstar roller derby uniforms are constructed from high-quality Athletic Supplex (92% Polyester 8% Spandex). This fabric is AWESOME because it is super comfy, sweat wicking, anti-bacterial and it doesn’t snag on velcro! We’re proud to manufacture our Ready and Designed to Roll shirts right here in Canada.
