Bristol since 1967. The shop was opened by Doug Hillard a Bristol Rovers legend

after hanging up his boots with more than 300 appearances to his name. Opening

with a ceremony supported by several Bristol Rovers players who were team

mates of Doug Hillard. The shop started and has maintained the highest standard

of professionalism, the store was originally located on Stapleton Road just along

The shop is now operated by Gary Hillard, Doug's son, who has maintained the

desires of Doug and still providing the quality and service that customers have come to expect.

Due to the nature of the business, football has become a solid part of our daily

routine in particular sports teamwear. With our in-house print stations we are able

to offer the complete service to clubs, including Embroidery and Sponsored logos

all in one stop. With the introduction of this in house service, turn around times

have been reduced considerably enabling us to get your kit to you quickly. 

Reputation is paramount and quality of service is above all most important so customers

can rest assured that all will be done to satisfy their needs.
