Oversized Boxy Tee vs. Signature Tee: What’s the Difference in Fit?

The Quick Answer

• Thanking a big team on a budget? Go with a custom ornament.
• Want something wearable? The beanie is the sweet spot.
• Thanking your key leaders or staff? Go cozy with a hoodie or blanket.

Custom Leatherette Ornaments

New this season, and a great fit for church Christmas gifts and volunteer thank-yous.

Your design or logo is printed in full-color Digital Ink, so every detail stays crisp and bright.

Make It Personal

The best volunteer gifts feel like they were made for your team. A few ideas:

• Add the year and a verse. A dated ornament becomes a tradition.
• Pair it with a handwritten note. A short thank-you turns a nice gift into a memorable one.
• Give it a moment. Hand them out at a volunteer dinner or a Sunday-morning shout-out.
• Match your look. Pull your church colors or logo across every piece so it feels cohesive. Our church merch guidecovers how.

Plan Your Timeline

Gifts have a deadline, and the ornaments have different turnarounds:

• Round Leatherette Ornament: 4 days
• Tree Leatherette Ornament: 2 weeks
• Cuff Beanie and Super-Soft Hoodie: 72 hours after art approval

Build in time for design approval and shipping. For a mid-December volunteer dinner, we’d start the Tree Leatherette Ornament by mid-November and everything else by early December.

Start With the Right Hoodie

The Super-Soft Hoodie is built for exactly this: a regular-fit pullover that’s warm, soft, and made to be worn on repeat.

The quick specs:

• Fabric: 7.5 oz. Solid colors are 100% cotton or an 80/20 ring-spun cotton/polyester blend. Fern Green and heathers are a 50/50 blend.
• Details: jersey-lined hood, matching flat drawcord, pouch pocket, and ribbed cuffs and waistband with 5% spandex
• Sizes: adult XS–3XL, with youth sizing available
• Fit: regular, and pre-shrunk. For a roomier, layered look, size up.

Prefer a hood-free look? The Super-Soft Crewneck is a clean alternative. One fun move: hoodies for students, crewnecks for your leaders.

Pick a Color Students Will Actually Wear

Color decides whether a hoodie lives in the closet or on a student’s back. A few standouts:

• Cocoa: our newest hoodie color
• Fern Green: an earthy go-to for fall and winter
• Sand: a versatile neutral that works with almost any design (also available on the Super-Soft Crewneck)
• Black: the always-wearable classic

Not sure which one fits your group? Our guide to hoodie colors for your group breaks it down.

Design It Like a Hoodie, Not a Tee

Hoodies give you more room to work with, but the best youth group hoodies still follow one rule: one big idea.

Your print areas:

• Front: up to 12" wide x 10" tall
• Back: up to 12" wide x 16" tall
• Sleeves: up to 3" wide x 12" tall
• Crest (left chest): up to 3.5" x 3.5"

Some combos that work well:

• A bold front graphic with your group name on the back
• A small crest on the front and a statement design on the back
• A sleeve print with your theme verse as a surprise detail

Starting from scratch? Our Customizable Design Templates give you a pro starting point you can personalize with your name, colors, and verse. For more inspiration, check out our fall retreat design ideas and font-based design ideas.

Make It Pop With Puff Ink

Want your hoodie to stand out from every other group’s? Puff Ink adds raised, textured detail to a logo or key word, and it’s a favorite pairing for fleece.

Everything else prints with Super-Soft Ink, our water-based ink that soaks into the fabric instead of sitting on top, so the print stays soft and breathable. Water-based ink gives hoodies a muted, vintage look. Our Guide to Understanding Water-Based Print Results explains what to expect.

Ordering Youth Group Hoodies: What to Know

• Minimum order: 12 pieces for a one-color, one-location design. 36 pieces for multiple colors or locations.
• Turnaround: 72 hours after art approval
• Setup fee: $15 per screen
• Same design across the order: every piece in one order shares the same artwork, and youth and adult sizes can ride together.

Timeline tip: start 4–6 weeks before your event. Design and sizing take longer than printing, and a 72-hour turnaroundonly helps once your art is approved.

Sizing tip: collect sizes early and tell students the hoodie runs regular. If they like a relaxed fit, they should size up.

Keep Them Soft for Years

Pass this on to your students and parents:

• Wash inside out, on cold and gentle
• Skip the bleach
• Add fabric softener to keep the softness (and prevent piling)
