Greyhound racing gear supports every stage of a meeting—from trial sessions and race-day identification to trackside duties, community events and winner presentations. Mittys creates custom gear for greyhound racing clubs, trainers, handlers, racing teams, sponsors and community organisations across Australia.

This guide explains where each product fits, what can be customised and how to plan a coordinated order that looks professional from the kennels to the presentation area.

Greyhound Racing Gear at a Glance

Greyhound Race Vests and Trial-Day Vests

Race meetings and trial sessions serve different purposes, so it helps to keep dedicated vest sets for each. The right option supports clear identification, makes equipment easier to organise and gives clubs a consistent presentation across their program.

Greyhound Lycra Race Vests

Designed for race-day identification, Greyhound Lycra Race Vests provide the familiar colours and numbers used to distinguish greyhounds around the track. They are suitable for racing clubs and organisations preparing for regular meetings, feature races or replacement vest requirements.

Before ordering, confirm the required colours, numbers, sizing and any applicable rules with your racing organisation. Mittys can then help translate those requirements into a practical vest order.

Greyhound Lycra Trial-Day Vests

For training and trial sessions, the Mittys Greyhound Lycra Trial-Day Vest provides a dedicated option for clubs, trainers and trial organisers. Keeping trial vests separate from your main race-day set can simplify preparation, storage and equipment management.

Professional Apparel for Handlers and Trackside Teams

Greyhound racing gear extends beyond what is worn by the dogs. Handlers, kennel staff, attendants, officials and club representatives may also need practical apparel that makes their role, team or organisation easy to identify.

Custom Strapper Jackets

The Custom Strapper Jacket is a durable, washable option for handlers, kennel staff and trackside teams. Elasticated sides allow comfortable movement, while permanent printing can incorporate team colours, logos, sponsor branding or identifying numbers.

This is a universal racing product that can also be used for horse and harness racing, making it useful for clubs, sponsors or event teams working across more than one racing code.

Barrier Jackets for Officials and Event Staff

For trackside roles where visibility and easy identification matter, the Mittys Barrier Jacket can be customised for officials, attendants, club personnel and event teams. Colours, branding and numbers can help distinguish responsibilities while maintaining a consistent look across the venue.

Custom Vests for Community Events and Programs

Greyhound clubs and organisations are also active away from the track. Community days, public appearances, adoption events and awareness programs may call for a comfortable, visible way to display a message or organisation identity.

The Greyhound Community Awareness Vest can be customised for a club, campaign, community group or event. It creates a clear space for messaging and branding while maintaining a neat, event-ready presentation.

Greyhound Presentation Gear for Feature Races

A feature race or special event often finishes with winner photographs, sponsor recognition and a formal presentation. Coordinated presentation gear helps frame that moment and gives the club, event and sponsor branding greater visibility.

Custom Greyhound Presentation Leads

A Custom Greyhound Presentation Lead can feature event colours, club branding, sponsor logos and optional fringe trim. It is intended as a ceremonial presentation accessory for winner photographs, feature races and parades—not as an everyday walking lead.

Satin Greyhound Presentation Rugs

Complete the occasion with a Custom Satin Greyhound Presentation Rug. Race details, colours, club identity and sponsor branding can be coordinated with the presentation lead to create a polished matching set for feature races, club awards and special events.

How to Plan Custom Greyhound Gear

A clear brief helps the Mittys team recommend a practical setup and prepare artwork that works across your chosen products. Before ordering, consider:

• The occasion: Is the gear for a race meeting, trial day, trackside duty, community event or winner presentation?
• The people involved: Confirm who needs to be identified, including handlers, officials, kennel staff, teams or sponsors.
• Your branding: Gather club colours, sponsor logos, race details, numbers and any required wording.
• The complete range: Coordinating dog vests, team apparel and presentation products can create a more consistent result.
• Your deadline: Standard production is approximately 10 business days after payment and approval of the required design details. Allow additional time for delivery, larger quantities or complex coordinated orders.

For the best print result, supply clear, high-resolution artwork and review the Mittys Artwork Specifications before submitting your files. If your event date is fixed, contact the Mittys team before ordering so production and delivery requirements can be confirmed.
