Custom Hoodies and Tracksuits: Turning Team Kit into Merchandise

How clubs and brands use custom hoodies, tracksuits and training wear as team kit and as merchandise for fans and parents.

Match kit is only part of what a team wears. Hoodies, tracksuits and training tops are worn far more often, and they are the items fans and parents most want to buy.

Hoodies

Choose between pullover and zip-up styles. Fleece-backed fabrics are warm for the touchline; lighter French terry suits travel and warmer climates. A kangaroo pocket and a lined hood are small details that make a hoodie feel premium.

Tracksuits

A matching jacket and trousers for warm-ups and travel. Knitted polyester holds its shape and colour well; contrast panels and piping let you echo your match kit. For football clubs, see our soccer tracksuits.

Embroidery or print?

Embroidered crests look premium and last on heavier garments. Large designs, sponsor logos and gradients are better printed. Our printing methods guide compares the options.

Personalisation

Initials or numbers on the chest or sleeve make kit easy to identify in a shared changing room, and players value them.

Selling merchandise

  • Offer a supporters' version of the hoodie without player numbers
  • Take pre-orders with sizes before you place the order
  • Combine team and supporter pieces in one run to reach a better price (see our MOQ guide)
