Ten original ideas for group sweatshirts for your youth group

A group jumper is something you wear all year round, so it deserves a design that is truly yours. Here are ten ideas to get you started, from very simple to drawn together.

Ideas with your camp song and totem names

1. The Spotify code of your camp song

That one song everyone belts out at camp? Have its Spotify code embroidered on the jumper. Scan it with your phone and the track starts playing straight away. A lasting way to bring those camp nights back.

2. Everyone's totem name

A totem says more about someone than a first name. Put it large on the back or small on the chest or sleeve. A different name on every jumper is possible, at no extra cost.

3. The logo of your Chiro, Scouts, KSA or KLJ

The classic, and for good reason: with your logo on the jumper you are instantly recognisable at every activity. No digital file? A photo of an old jumper or a flag is enough, we turn it into an embroidery file.

Ideas you create together as a group

4. Everyone draws a heart

Have everyone in the group draw a heart and put them all together on the back of a hoodie. That way every jumper carries a little piece of everyone. On the back an embroidery can be up to 28 × 25 cm, so there is plenty of room.

5. A drawing by the whole group

Organise a drawing night and make one drawing together: your youth club building, the mascot, a camp story. Louise turns it into a design and Julie embroiders it on the jumpers. The result belongs to no one and to everyone.

6. Let someone in the group design a logo

Is there someone creative in the group? Give that person free rein to design a logo for this year or this camp. Send us the sketch, a photo of the paper is fine too.

7. A line drawing from a photo

Choose a favourite photo and have it turned into a line drawing: the outline in a single thread colour, clean and simple. A line drawing works best with 1 to 3 people. For a whole group, you are better off choosing a photo of your youth club building, the camp tent or a small group of leaders. Not sure about your photo? Read is my photo suitable for embroidery.

Ideas that show where you come from

8. The coordinates of your campsite

Had a legendary camp? Have the coordinates of the campsite embroidered. Those who know, know. Prefer something that is right every year? Then take the coordinates of your youth club building.

9. The flag of your municipality

Every municipality has its own flag, and some are real gems. Since you meet every week in the same village or town, it is a subtle way to show where you feel at home.

10. Your postcode

Simple and strong: four digits in a typeface that suits you. Even more fun when you meet up with other groups, everyone sees straight away where you are from.

Embroider or print group jumpers?

Both are possible. What suits best depends on your design and your budget.

We recommend embroidery: a youth movement jumper gets dirty, is washed often and worn for years. Printing is the budget option and handy for a large design with many colours. You can find more information on clothing printing.

Do you have an idea of your own?

All the better. Most drawings and logos are lovely to embroider. Send a photo, a name or a drawing. Louise turns it into a design, Julie embroiders it on what you wear. A logo or text we embroider exactly as you send it; for a drawing you first receive a preview by email, and we only start once you have approved it. Everything about group orders can be found on for groups.
