ENVO2.1
We are thrilled to announce the introduction of our brand new
high performance, sustainable teamwear range ENVO2.1;
As a global brand, we want to have a positive impact on our
planet and take responsibility for future generations. Many
teamwear brands do not take enough care in their supply
chains and we are making a conscious effort to be better.
We have set ourselves new goals. We are on a mission to
remove all single use plastic from our supply chain by 2023.
We have created a new teamwear range that is made from
recycled material, through extensive research, development
and testing.
We don’t believe doing the right thing should break the bank.
We are bringing you sustainable garments that don't cost the
earth.

PRINT-ON-
DEMAND
Print-on-demand is a new model that allows us to create
customised products that are printed and embroidered after an
order has been placed. With on-demand printing, the club
won’t need to hold any physical inventory. For the 21/22
season we will be holding a large quantity of Y1 kit in our stateof-the-art
warehouse and embellishment centre. By having this
kit readily available in the UK, it allows for very quick
turnaround times.
Why is print-on-demand better?
• Reduces waste
• Reduces Air Miles
• Quicker turnaround
• More efficient
• No upfront cost
• Less risk

WORN BY THE BEST
All of our products go through a strict prototype and sampling
process to make sure they are optimised for gameplay and
training. During this process, all garments are tested by our
internal team and our international players.

CLUB DAY
At the start of any kit partnership we like to kick things off with
a bang by hosting a Y1 Club Day! We'll show off your new kit
and allow members to try on and purchase their new stash.
We'll bring down our Y1 inflatable pitch, host mini games, give
out prizes and let members test out our latest hockey stick
range and equipment. A great way to launch your new kit and
market your club via Y1's vast social media reach, boosting
your online presence.
