Centre Stage Uniforms
 

Summer is quickly coming: Tours are being finalised, qualification for National Finals is now all done, and it’s the perfect time to kit your band out with incredible heavyweight 100% cotton polo shirts, embroidered with your band logo and message, all for the amazing price of £9.95 each plus VAT.

No VAT

If you are kitting out a youth/junior band, there is of course, no VAT!!

New ranges

MD Martin Gernon told 4BR: "Our new ranges of polo shirts are great value. We don’t use the cheaper polycotton like our competitors, but our prices for premium quality 100% cotton are still cheaper than competitor polycotton versions.

Now is the time to be ordering, and with quick turnaround and superb embroidery equipment, your band will be wearing these with pride all summer long!"
