Stripes, sashes or tartan: 4 team hoodie prints for youth and adults
A team hoodie gets worn more than the game kit. Players pull it on for the bus, the warm-up and the walk home, and parents buy it for the stand. So the print matters. Here are eight sublimated pullover hoodies from our range, grouped into four looks: classic shoulder stripes, sashes and chevrons, tartan and camo, and youth gradients.
Why the print decides the order
Most clubs order hoodies for winter sidelines, team stores and travel days. The body, pocket and rib trim are much the same across styles. What changes is where the colour sits and how loud it is. A stripe across the shoulders reads from the far side of a pitch. A tonal chevron only shows up close. Pick the look first, then the colours.
Look 1: Classic shoulder stripes
Three bold stripes over the shoulder are the oldest trick in teamwear, and teams keep asking for them. They work best when the hoodie matches a striped game uniform, so the squad looks like one programme on the sideline.
For younger players we cut the same idea on the youth pattern. The kelly green youth shoulder stripe hoodie has a slightly boxy fit, white stripes, a white hood lining and no drawstring.
Look 2: Sashes and chevrons
A sash cuts across the chest and gives the hoodie some movement. The maroon, black and gold zig zag hoodie puts a gold and black zig zag sash over a tonal geometric texture. It's a strong choice for clubs with two bright colours that would clash as solid blocks.
Chevrons can be quieter. On the green tonal chevron fade hoodie the pattern runs from deep emerald at the shoulders to bright lime at the hem, all in one colour family.
What to decide for a sash or chevron hoodie
- Direction. A sash can run left to right or right to left. Tell us which, and keep it the same as your jersey.
- Logo space. Leave a clear area for the crest. We show it on the mock-up.
- Contrast. Tonal chevrons look calm. A two-colour sash is louder. Choose one loud element, not three.
- Hood lining. A lining in your second colour shows every time the hood is down.
Look 3: Tartan and camo
These two prints suit team stores and fan wear more than the bench. Tartan is having a moment this autumn, and the purple tartan fade hoodie pairs plum with thin electric teal lines that fade into solid plum towards the hem. The digital camo hoodie mixes black, charcoal and slate grey pixels, with a bright teal hood lining and flat teal drawcords.
One loud print, one quiet trim. How we balance a hoodie
Both prints are sublimated, so the pattern is dyed into the polyester. There's no printed layer on top to crack or peel, and the hoodie keeps its soft hand after washing.

Look 4: Youth gradients
Gradients are the easiest way to give a youth hoodie some energy without busy artwork. The navy digital wave youth hoodie sweeps teal across the chest and sleeves. The forest green hex gradient youth hoodie carries a honeycomb pattern in tonal green and vegas gold that fades to plain green, and it matches our youth mesh panel football uniform.
All our children's hoods are made without drawstrings. In the US, drawstrings at the hood and neck are banned on children's outerwear in sizes 2T to 12, and the EU rule covers children under 7. We follow the stricter line for every youth order.

How a hoodie order works
- Send the brief
Tell us the look, your colours, the logo and the size split between youth and adult. A game uniform file helps if you want the two to match.
- Approve the mock-up
We send a mock-up showing the print, hood lining, logo position and any names or numbers. Change what you like at this stage.
- Production and shipping
Production takes 12 to 18 days after you approve the mock-up. Prices are FOB Sialkot, and we can quote delivered prices on request.

Questions buyers ask
Can I order youth and adult hoodies in the same look?
Yes. We cut youth and adult sizes from separate patterns and place the stripes, sashes or fades on each one, so the look holds across the size run.
What is the minimum order?
10 pieces per design, and you can mix sizes. The unit price drops at 50, 100 and 500 pieces.
Will the print crack or peel?
No. Sublimation dyes the print into the polyester, so there is no layer on top to crack or peel.
Do youth hoodies have drawstrings?
No. Our children's hoods are made without drawstrings, in line with the US ban on hood and neck drawstrings for children's outerwear in sizes 2T to 12 and the EU rule for children under 7.
How long does production take?
12 to 18 days after you approve the mock-up. Shipping time depends on the destination and is quoted separately.
