Our Story

Built in Sialkot, Trusted Worldwide

Empire Five Athletics has manufactured custom team uniforms for clubs, schools, and brands in 50+ countries since 2011 — all from our own factory in Sialkot, Pakistan, the global hub for sports apparel manufacturing.

About Empire Five

From Family Workshop to Worldwide Factory

Empire Five Athletics was founded in 2011 by Usman Ahmed — born out of a simple observation: teams everywhere were paying retail markup for uniforms made in the same factories we already worked in. The middleman markup was indefensible. Coaches deserved direct access.

What started as a small workshop in Sialkot has grown into a full-cycle custom apparel facility producing game-day kits, sideline outerwear, training gear, and accessories across 12 sports. Today our jerseys, shorts, warm-ups, and singlets are worn by teams from school programs to senior clubs in 50+ countries.

The model hasn't changed: you order direct from the factory that makes the garments. No wholesaler markup, no minimum order, no quote that arrives a week later. Send your design ideas — we respond with a free mockup in 12 hours.

Why Sialkot?

Sialkot, Pakistan is the world's largest manufacturing hub for sports goods — roughly two-thirds of the planet's hand-stitched footballs come from this city, along with the majority of its hockey gear, gloves, and team uniforms. The supply chain, the skilled labor, and the institutional know-how have been concentrated here for over a century.

That density is our unfair advantage. Our cutters, stitchers, sublimation operators, and quality inspectors are all within a few miles of each other. When something needs to be fixed, it gets fixed today — not in a six-week sourcing loop with a factory on the other side of the world.

Four Values We Don't Compromise On

These aren't poster slogans. They're the operating rules every order runs through — from the first mockup to the last stitch.

Factory-Direct, Always

You buy from the factory that made the garment. No wholesalers, no agencies, no surprise markups in the quote.

Quality Without Shortcuts

180 GSM polyester interlock, double-needle stitching, sublimation tested to 50+ wash cycles. Inspected piece-by-piece before it leaves the floor.

Honest Specs

If a fabric won't hold a decoration method cleanly, we say so up front. Quotes include the limits, not just the perks.

Speed When Teams Need It

12-hour mockup, ~3-week delivery on standard orders, rush production when the season starts before the kit is ready.
