Australia Poker League (APL)
The Australia Poker League (APL) is Australia's largest poker tournament operator, with events run throughout Australia each year.
Their largest event is the annual APL Millions in the Gold Coast, with over 10,000 entries, 50+ separate tournament events, and over $13 million in prizemoney.
Replicat and CrowdMerch have provided custom branded, shaped, and tailored merch to the APL since 2021. A key focus has been in sourcing custom powerbanks / cables, and custom tailored hoodies through our direct factory Asian supply network.
POWERBANKS & CABLES
APL has ordered four different powerbank models since 2021 - upgrading to higher mAh capacities, near field charging, LED displays, and adjustable stands as new tech has become available.
Since 2011, we've dealt directly with the same electronics company in Asia for powerbanks, cables, and other branded electronic items - ensuring quality supply and chain of custody.
Powerbanks and cables can be direct digital full colour printed or single colour screenprinted.
EMBROIDERED TEES
We've supplied black and grey embroidered tees to APL since 2022. They are stocked and decorated in Melbourne with a turnaround under 2 weeks, including logo digitization (see image).
We supply a premium [3-TS41] 185gsm tee to hold the embroidered logo in the left chest position of the tee without sagging or thread separation (known as 'puckering'). Lighter 150gsm tees are only suitable for screenprint or DTF print.
CUSTOM HOODIES
The custom tailored APL hoodies are produced in 9 sizes and two colours - gold for the APL millions series and green for all other events.
The hoodies follow a standard pattern but are tailored with custom inner hood material, custom piping, custom cord, custom zip, and screenprint to three positions - arm, back, and left chest.
Hoodies were originally ordered in 2023, and reordered in 2024 and 2025. Lead time is approximately 12 weeks. MOQ 200 hoodies.
