Printing Planet UK
Whether you run a Sunday league football team, a netball club, or a gym crew, custom hoodies are one of the most practical investments you can make. They keep players warm on the sidelines, build team identity, and look sharp on and off the pitch. At Printing Planet UK in Putney, we produce custom team hoodies with no minimum order and turnarounds from 5 working days.
Why Teams and Sports Clubs Choose Custom Hoodies
A plain hoodie is just a garment. A custom hoodie is a statement. When your squad walks into a tournament or lines up for warm-ups wearing matching hoodies with your club badge and player names, you instantly look organised and professional.
Custom hoodies also serve a practical purpose: they are the go-to garment for warm-ups, cool-downs, travel days, and post-match socials. Unlike match shirts, which stay on the pitch, hoodies go everywhere with your players.
Beyond sport, custom hoodies work equally well for running clubs, gym teams, university sports societies, and martial arts academies.
Choosing the Right Hoodie
Getting the garment choice right is as important as the print design. Here is what to look for:
Pullover vs Zip-Up
- Pullover hoodies give more usable print area on the front and back. They are warmer and cheaper per unit. Popular with football, rugby, and gym teams.
- Zip-up hoodies are easier to layer over match kit and preferred by running and cycling clubs. The print area is split by the zip, so designs need to account for that.
Weight and Fabric
For sports club use, aim for 280-320gsm fabric. Lighter weights (240gsm and below) feel flimsy after a few washes. Heavier weights (300gsm+) are more durable and hold print better over time. We stock options in cotton-rich and polyester blends – the blend matters if you are applying DTF prints, which adhere best to 50/50 or cotton-rich fabrics.
Design Tips for Team Kits
A good team hoodie design is bold at 10 metres and clear up close. Here is the standard layout most clubs use:
- Chest left: Club badge or initials (small, 8-10cm wide)
- Back upper: Club name in large bold type
- Back lower: Squad number (large, 15-20cm)
- Under number: Player name or nickname (smaller, 5-6cm)
- Sleeve: Sponsor name or founding year (optional, secondary branding)
Keep colours to two or three. If your kit has a specific Pantone or RGB colour, let us know and we will match it as closely as possible in the print.
Tip: Send us your badge as a vector file (AI, EPS or SVG) for the sharpest results. If you only have a PNG, make it at least 300dpi at the print size.
