About Us

1. What Floodlit is

Floodlit is an online store for one kind of game: the weeknight league match that kicks off after work, under four light masts, on a small pitch with a fence round it. Most of our customers play 5-a-side or 7-a-side in a rec league. Some play coed indoor on a Tuesday, some play turf on a Thursday at 9:10 PM, some play a summer twilight competition in Australia or New Zealand. What they have in common is that the game happens in artificial light, and almost every jersey on the internet is photographed in daylight.

That is the whole idea of the shop. We sell team jerseys and keeper tops in colourways picked for how they look at kick-off, not how they look on a sunny product shoot. You add a name and number on the product page, you order one shirt or eight, and we ship them free to the four countries we serve.

We are a small online business. We are not a club store, we do not run a league, and we are not linked to any league operator, venue, governing body or sportswear brand. Everything on the site is our own design, with generic colourway names such as Sodium Amber, Late Slot Pink or Chalk Indigo.

2. The problem we are built around

If you have captained a weeknight team, you know the routine. The league either issues nothing or asks every team to bring a dark shirt and a light shirt each week. Somebody turns up in grey. The other team is also in navy. The ref hands out a bag of faded orange bibs and you play the next forty minutes in a mesh vest that smells of last season.

The second problem is subtler. A colour that looks bright on your phone can look flat under the lights. Pale pairs wash out, reds drift orange under warm lamps, and a dark number on a dark shirt is invisible from the far goal. Teams find this out on the first night, after the order has arrived.

So the shop is organised around two questions a captain actually asks:

1. Will we clash? Every jersey is filed as Dark Base Jerseys or Light Base Jerseys, and every product page says what it wears against. If your league runs a dark-and-light rule, you can cover both sides without guessing.
2. Will it read at night? The light switch on our homepage and product pages turns the floodlights on in a drawn scene, so you can see a colourway and its number the way the far goal sees it.

3. The light switch, honestly

The switch is the part of the site people ask about, so here is exactly what it does and does not do.

When you flip it, the page goes from day to night, four drawn masts light up, and the drawn jerseys change to their lit colours on a dark background. A small tag appears on each to say it reads from the far goal. It is a drawing on your screen. It is there to help you compare colourways and check that a number has enough contrast against its shirt before you commit eight people to it.

What it is not: a promise that fabric gives off light. Printed colours on a shirt are bright, not light-emitting. Nothing we sell glows, reflects or works as safety clothing, and we never describe it that way. Product photos on the site are real product images on a white background; the switch never darkens or filters them. Your own screen brightness, the age of the lamps at your venue and whether you play indoors or out all change how a colour looks on the night.

4. What is in the range

The catalogue is small on purpose. Twenty items, each a different cut, pattern or job, rather than one shirt in thirty recolours.

Dark base jerseys

Dark bodies with bright details: thin hoops, a diagonal sash, a tonal chain-link print, bright side panels, a fade from dark shoulders to a bright hem, and a custom style with your team name across the chest. Dark bases keep their depth under lights, and the bright parts are where the eye lands. They are the natural pick when the other teams in your league tend to wear light colours, or when the league’s bibs are pale. Browse Dark Base Jerseys.

Light base jerseys

Light or bright bodies with dark detail: fine pinstripes, a half-and-half split, contrast raglan sleeves, a small two-tone check, and a custom style that prints your league slot under the number, such as TUE 9:10. These are for the light side of the dark-and-light rule, and the dark lettering keeps the number readable. Browse Light Base Jerseys.

Keeper tops

Small-sided teams often rotate the keeper, or have one person who wants the gloves every week. Our keeper tops come in loud solids and big geometric panels, long sleeve or short sleeve, so the keeper looks different from both teams. Browse Keeper Tops.

Squad kit

The bits around the shirt: plain match shorts in three neutrals, a full-zip hoodie for the bench, a custom long-sleeve warm-up top with your team name, crew socks with amber stripes, a drawstring kit bag and a cuffed beanie for cold nights. Browse Squad Kit.

Product pages describe the design, the colourways, the sizes and the personalisation fields. Where we do not yet have confirmed specifications for a product type, we do not make them up; if you need a detail that is not on the page, email us and we will tell you what we know.

5. Names, numbers and team names

Most outfield jerseys and keeper tops have two optional fields: a name on the back of up to 12 letters, printed in capitals, and a number from 0 to 99. Both are included in the price. Leave them empty for a plain back. Three custom products go further: a team name across the chest (up to 14 characters), a slot line under the number (up to 10 characters), or a team name on a warm-up top.

A few rules we keep for everyone:

• We print exactly what you type. There is no proof or mockup before production, so the live preview on the product page is your proof. Read it back.
• Your own words only. We do not print the names or logos of real clubs, leagues, colleges, players, characters or brands, and we will contact you if an order asks for one.
• Joke team names are fine. Five-a-side runs on them. Keep it something you would be happy for a ref to read out.

For how personalised items are treated in a return, see our Returns & Exchanges Policy.

6. Ordering for a squad of eight

Most of our orders come from one person ordering for everyone: five on the pitch, three rolling subs. A few things make that easier.

1. Pick the colourway first. Use the switch, check whether your league needs a dark or a light shirt, and choose one style for the whole squad.
2. Collect sizes before you order. The Size Guide has a short message you can paste into the group chat so each player measures a shirt they already own.
3. Collect names and numbers. Get them in writing. Duplicate numbers are allowed if your league allows them; we print what you enter.
4. Add each player to the cart. Each shirt is its own cart line with its own size, name and number. There is no minimum order and no squad bundle to unlock.
5. Work back from the first fixture. Allow 1-3 business days to get the order ready and 7-14 business days in transit. If the first game is close, order earlier rather than later.

The late sign-up in week three orders the same product in the same colourway with their own name, and it matches the rest. Single shirts ship free, same as eight.

7. Our promise, in numbers

We do not collect sales tax at checkout. Import duties and taxes on international parcels depend on the destination country; our Shipping & Delivery page explains what we know.

8. How we handle your order

Every item is prepared after you order, with your colourway, size and any name or number you entered. If something arrives wrong, damaged or not as described, email us with your order number and a photo and we will put it right; the Returns & Exchanges Policy covers how.

If you send us a photo for a claim, we delete customer photos 30 days after delivery of the order they relate to. Our Privacy Policy explains what else we keep and why.

9. What we will not do

• We will not show you reviews, ratings or counters we do not have. The shop is new; you will not see stars until real customers leave them.
• We will not rush you. No countdown timers, no “only 3 left” messages, no fake sale prices.
• We will not print other people’s trademarks, crests or team names.
• We will not claim a fabric, finish or feature on a product page that we cannot back up.
• We will not list a payment method that is not working at checkout. The Payment Methods page always reflects what checkout really offers.

10. Who we are, formally

The store is run by Floodlit, 8428 Jeannette St, New Orleans, LA 70118, US. Support is by email only, at support@floodlit.shop. We reply within 24 hours on business days. There is no phone line and no walk-in counter; please do not post returns to the address above unless we have asked you to, because returns use the label we send you.
