Goalkeeper gloves combine several construction decisions in one product. Describing each area separately makes comparisons clearer and helps the sample review focus on performance, fit and identity.
Define the intended level
Explain whether the glove is intended for professional match use, regular training, academy players or a junior range. The intended level frames the rest of the brief.
- Match, training or junior range
- Playing conditions
- Target price position
- Expected size range
Separate the construction areas
Discuss palm, finger cut, backhand and wrist closure as individual decisions. Avoid treating the glove as one undivided specification.
- Palm direction
- Cut preference
- Backhand concept
- Closure and wrist fit
Plan the identity
Provide logo files, colour references and the visual hierarchy for the backhand, wrist and packaging. Confirm which marks belong to the buyer and which are only references.
- Brand mark and wordmark
- Colourway options
- Size marking
- Bag, insert or packaging direction
Review a physical sample
Fit, grip feel and closure cannot be approved from artwork alone. Record sample feedback by size and construction area before confirming production.
- Check finger length and width
- Review wrist security
- Inspect print and seams
- Approve final reference sample
Turn the checklist into your brief.
Send the product, expected quantity, artwork and delivery market. The Strive Sports team will confirm what is possible for your specific programme.
