battle of the north 2026
Our largest project to date: Battle of the North. An RX & Elite event for individuals and teams of 4, held May 29–31 at Kardinge in Groningen. What a weekend!
For this event, we were responsible for the complete event branding and styling, from athlete and crew apparel to our latest products, such as the Chess Pieces. Below, you can see what we delivered.
Personalised apparel for athletes and crew
Athletes could choose from a personalised cropped athlete tee, tank top, or T-shirt, while the crew was fully equipped with branded apparel
Complete field setup
A 32 m XL banner, a 5 m logo floor sticker, multi-colored tape, start/finish mats, and Chess Pieces
New Product - Chess pieces
Our newest product: Chess Pieces. Clearly marking the different lanes and serving as start and finish pillars that athletes must touch.
Competition Name plates
And of course, we also delivered the competition name plates again, designed by us
Product overview & Apparel
To begin with the apparel for all athletes and crew members. All athletes received personalised shirts, tank tops, or cropped tees featuring their team name or last name.
The crew was also fully outfitted by us. Based on a green colour theme, each role was assigned its own shade. Crew, judges, head judges, equipment staff, and MCs all had their own T-shirt colour, making on-floor organisation instantly clear and highly recognisable.
We also provided runners caps and crewneck sweaters for the crew. In addition to the apparel, athletes also received custom-designed competition name plates created by us.
Complete field setup
Next up in the event styling: the Chess Pieces, our newest addition to the product range. These lane numbers give any event a truly professional look. They are athlete-safe, made from foam, and therefore easy to move around. They are also fully customisable to match your brand identity.
Continuing with the rest of the event setup:
- A 32-meter XL backwall banner for the event. Designed in neutral black with the logo, creating a clean and calm visual identity
- Start and finish mats in custom branding
- Coloured tape to clearly separate the different lanes
- Numbers 1 to 5 for the sections within all 12 lanes
- A 5-meter Floor Sticker featuring the logo, equipped with an anti-slip layer to ensure safe athletic performance
Together, these elements brought the entire event to life and created a cohesive, professional look

“For the NEXT Throwdown, we were looking for someone to help with the shirt design for both the athletes and the judges. I had a brief conversation with Niels at Reps and Prints, and everything was arranged quickly and smoothly. We also received some amazing floor stickers and signs, all delivered perfectly. What I value most, though, is the personal touch. Thanks again, and we’re looking forward to the next edition!”
“For the sports event we organize, we approached Reps and Prints to support us in further developing our graphic design and supplying products. Throughout the entire process, Niels actively collaborated with us and translated our ideas into a more professional look and feel.
We experienced the collaboration as very pleasant, which is why we have once again engaged Reps and Prints for the upcoming edition to contribute ideas and provide the necessary products.”
