Umbro Hoodies and Sweatshirts for Football Clubs
If you are pricing up an Umbro sweatshirt for a squad, a coaching team, or a club shop, the questions are always the same: which styles, can we get our colours and crest on it, does it come in junior sizes, and how long will it take? We are SX Sports, an authorised Umbro stockist supplying grassroots clubs, schools, and semi-pro sides since 2001 from our base in Canvey Island, Essex, so everything on this page can be ordered in club colours with your badge on it.
If you want the wider picture first, our full Umbro teamwear range covers matchday strips, training wear, and travel kit alongside the hooded tops and sweatshirts here.
Umbro Sweatshirts
An Umbro sweatshirt in a teamwear context is a mid-weight crew-neck top worn over a training kit before and after games, and it is the most-used layer in most club kit bags. The fabric is a cotton-rich blend with a brushed back, which, in plain terms, means it feels soft against the skin, keeps players warm when standing around on a January touchline, and holds its shape through a season of weekly washes rather than sagging at the cuffs by Christmas.
The crew neck is the cleanest canvas we work with. With no hood, no zip, and no drawcords in the way, a large embroidered crest sits square across the chest, and a sponsor panel can go on the back without competing with anything. That is why sweatshirts are usually the choice for coaches, committee members, and older players who want a smarter look off the pitch.
Colour matters more than clubs expect. We work through the available Umbro colourways with you so the sweatshirt sits alongside your playing strip rather than being an approximate match.
Umbro Hoodies
An Umbro hoodie gives a squad 2 things a crew neck cannot: a hood for the weather and pockets for the reality of grassroots football, where players are carrying phones, keys, and shin pads between the car park and the changing room. That is the practical difference between the 2 styles, and it is usually the deciding factor for youth teams.
We supply overhead hoodies and full-zip hooded tops across the Umbro range, plus quarter-zip styles where available, in the colours you need. Full-zip tops suit players pulling layers on and off between warm-up and kick-off. Overhead hoodies are the ones worn to school on a Monday and on the coach to away games, which is why we treat them as club kit rather than an add-on.
Placement needs a bit of thought on a hooded top. A front pouch and a zip line reduce the usable chest area, so on full-zip styles, we usually take the crest to the left chest and put larger artwork or a sponsor logo on the back. Names or initials can sit on the back of the hood. If you need something heavier for the dugout, our Umbro tracksuits and jackets are the next layer up.
Club Leisurewear That Looks the Part
Your club's leisurewear is seen far more often than your matchday kit. A shirt gets worn for 90 minutes on a Sunday; a club hoodie gets worn to school, to training, in the stands, and on every away trip of the season. For plenty of people in your area, that hoodie is the club.
Consistency is the whole point of ordering as a squad. One style, one colourway, one badge, so when 18 players walk into a ground together, it reads as a club rather than a collection of individuals. Pairing the tops with matching Umbro bottoms and shorts gives you a complete travel set, and the same styles carry over into benchwear for managers, physios, and the volunteers running the line on a wet Tuesday.
We are a family-run business, and we have been doing this for grassroots clubs, schools, and academies for nearly 25 years, so we know leisurewear is often funded differently from the playing kit, sometimes by parents, sometimes by a local sponsor. We build the order around that rather than pushing you into a bigger spend than the club needs.

Umbro Hoodies and Sweatshirts FAQs
How long does a personalised Umbro sweatshirt order usually take?
How long does a personalised Umbro sweatshirt order usually take?
Personalised orders typically take around 2 to 3 weeks from the point your artwork and sizes are confirmed, because every garment is printed or embroidered to order in-house. Plain, undecorated stock items are quicker. We do not give guaranteed dates, but we will provide a realistic lead time before you commit. Please mention any fixture or tournament deadline when you enquire.
Is there a minimum order for custom Umbro sweatshirts?
Is there a minimum order for custom Umbro sweatshirts?
We do not insist on squad-sized minimums, because grassroots clubs often need 3 tops for new coaches rather than 30. Some artwork setups are more cost-effective for larger runs, so the unit price decreases as the number of units increases. Tell our team what you actually need, and we will provide a quote, including single-replacement garments for clubs we already supply.
Can parents order club leisurewear themselves instead of going through the club secretary?
Can parents order club leisurewear themselves instead of going through the club secretary?
Yes, and it is the main reason clubs ask us for a club shop. Parents and players choose their own size and pay online, and the order reaches us with the correct crest and colours already applied. The club secretary never collects sizes, handles money, or hands out garments. Orders are fulfilled to the buyer, and the club decides which styles appear in the shop.
Can a club reorder the same Umbro hoodie mid-season for new players?
Can a club reorder the same Umbro hoodie mid-season for new players?
Yes, and this is where a club shop earns its place. We keep your approved artwork on file, so a hoodie ordered in January is decorated the same way as one ordered in August. Colourway availability can change across a season, which matters if you are planning a 2-year kit cycle, so we flag anything at risk of running short before it becomes a problem.
Do you offer better pricing on bulk orders?
Do you offer better pricing on bulk orders?
Larger orders generally attract better unit pricing, and we advertise up to 30% off RRP across much of our range. Custom club orders are quoted individually because the price depends on the garments, the decoration, and the quantity. Send us your squad numbers and what you want on the garments, and we will put a written quote together, with options at a couple of price points if the budget is tight.
Can printed or embroidered Umbro hoodies be returned or exchanged?
Can printed or embroidered Umbro hoodies be returned or exchanged?
Personalised items are generally non-returnable unless faulty. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, goods made to a customer's specification are exempt from the standard 14-day cancellation right, and a hoodie carrying your crest and a player's name cannot be resold. Plain, undecorated stock items can be returned in line with our standard policy. If anything arrives faulty or incorrectly decorated, contact us, and we will put it right.
Which other teamwear brands do you stock alongside Umbro?
Which other teamwear brands do you stock alongside Umbro?
We are an authorised stockist for Joma, Puma, Hummel, Erreà, Stanno, Avec, and Umbro. That helps if your matchday strip is from one brand and you want leisurewear from another, or if the colour you need is not in that range. We will suggest the closest match across the brands we carry.
When should a club place its leisurewear order for the new season?
When should a club place its leisurewear order for the new season?
Order before the end of June if you want leisurewear in players' hands for the start of an August season. Our busiest period runs from May to October, when most clubs order at once, so early enquiries get the smoothest run through artwork approval and sizing. Schools buying for September should aim for the summer term. Mid-season top-ups are quicker once your artwork is on file.
