SMARTER DART SHIRTS

Founded by James Clifton

With decades of experience across the print, garment production and customisation industries, James is a highly experienced print professional with a deep understanding of the sector. Throughout his career, he has developed extensive expertise in delivering high-quality print and garment solutions, combining technical knowledge with a strong commitment to quality, attention to detail and customer satisfaction.
 
Over the years, James found himself increasingly approached by players and teams looking to personalise their dart shirts with names, sponsors and individual touches, as well as those wanting completely bespoke designs that reflected their team or personality. Through these conversations, he saw an opportunity to bring his print expertise into the world of darts in a way that felt different — creating a dedicated platform where players, teams and the wider darts community could bring their ideas to life. With a focus on making the process simple, personal and accessible, the aim is to make creating a great dart shirt an enjoyable part of being part of the darts family.

Where darts meets decades of print expertise

Alongside his professional background, James has been playing darts for 18 years, as a Super League and County player for Wiltshire & Berkshire. Through this, he built a strong friendship with former PDC World Number 1 and World Champion Luke Humphries MBE.
 
Their relationship was forged through years of competing together, attending Q-School, and playing in national competitions building trust, respect and a shared understanding of the sport at the highest level.

Designed by people who live the game

When James shared his vision for Smarter Dart Shirts, Luke immediately recognised the value of the concept and the passion behind it. With Luke coming on board as Brand Ambassador, the business gained the endorsement of one of the sport’s elite competitors.
 
Supported by the extensive production capabilities of the Print Often Group, Smarter Dart Shirts was born.
