How to order team hoodies: a step-by-step guide

Step 1: agree the design

Settle on the hoodie colour, the logo or crest, and where it goes before you ask anyone for sizes. Common choices are a logo on the left chest with the team name across the back, or a small logo on a sleeve.

Decide whether each hoodie also carries a personal name, initials or a number. It adds a lot to the feel of a team hoodie, but it also means one more detail to collect from every person.

Step 2: prepare the logo

Send the clearest version of your logo you have, ideally the original artwork from whoever designed it. A blurry screenshot makes it harder to see the detail. Very fine lines and tiny text often need simplifying so they stitch well on knit fabric, and we suggest any changes before you pay.

We only embroider logos you own or are licensed to use. A club crest or a business logo is fine; a famous brand’s logo is not.

Step 3: collect sizes and names in one list

Use a single spreadsheet with one row per person. Include:

• Name as it should be stitched, with the exact spelling.
• Size, or measurements for anyone who needs a closer fit. Our size guide shows how to measure.
• Lettering: name, initials or number, if each hoodie is personal.
• Notes, such as longer sleeves or extra length.

Step 4: get one written quote

Send the design, the logo and the list together. For team and work orders we quote case by case, because any minimum, the price and the timing depend on the design, the embroidery and the number of hoodies. Your quote sets all of that out, with delivery included, before you pay.

Ordering several pieces also changes the delivery cost, so ask about the rate for your order. Our guide to ordering several outfits at once explains how a combined order works.

Step 5: check every detail and set a date

Before you approve, check the list against the quote line by line. Spelling mistakes in names are the most common problem with team orders, and they are easy to catch at this stage.

If the hoodies are for a launch, a tournament or an event, tell us the date when you first get in touch. The timing for team orders is set in your quote, and courier time to your address is added on top, so leave some room. We deliver to the UK and worldwide. Brands planning a full collection rather than a team order can look at manufacturing for brands.

Step 6: check the hoodies when they arrive

When the parcel arrives, open it before handing anything out and check each hoodie against your list: the name, the size and the placement of the logo. It is much easier to sort out a problem with one hoodie before the whole team is wearing them.

If something does not match what was agreed in your quote, tell us straight away with a photo. Our terms explain how faults are put right. When you are ready to start, send your design and list and we reply with one written quote.
