Podiumwear Custom Sports Apparel

About Podiumwear Custom Sports Apparel

Podiumwear Custom Sports Apparel was founded in 2003 in St. Paul, Minnesota, by Reid Lutter, a nordic ski racer and coach with four decades of trail experience. Frustrated by the difficulties of ordering custom uniforms for his own teams, Lutter set out to build a company that would make the process enjoyable and stress‑free, starting with nordic ski apparel before expanding into cycling, running, and soccer. The company produces fully custom team uniforms and apparel — jerseys, tops, shorts, training jackets, pants, and socks — for a wide range of sports including cycling, nordic skiing, running, soccer, volleyball, football, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, clay target sports, softball, baseball, mountain biking, cross‑country, and track and field. Customers work one‑on‑one with designers or use an online customizer, and orders can be shipped directly to each athlete or to a single team contact. A partnership with The North Face and U.S. Ski & Snowboard adds a high‑profile dimension to its nordic program. Podiumwear serves youth, club, and school teams across the United States and internationally. Its customers include team uniform directors, coaches, administrators, and parents who need reliable, on‑time delivery for seasonal competition. The company highlights testimonials from a team uniform director, a team administrator, and a club parent, underscoring its focus on easing the administrative burden of uniform procurement. Lutter’s original goal — concierge‑level service, fast turnaround, and top‑tier quality — remains the stated differentiator. Podiumwear emphasizes total design freedom without templates, durability that lasts multiple seasons, and a policy that allows two below‑minimum re‑orders per calendar year to accommodate roster changes.
