A leavers hoodie with the whole year group's names printed on the back is the keepsake your class will still be wearing long after results day. At CentralCustom we design, print and embroider custom leavers hoodies for schools, sixth forms, colleges and universities across the UK — including the full back-print name list that turns an ordinary hoodie into a proper record of who was there. Send us your names and your finishing date, and we'll take care of the artwork, the sizing and the delivery.
Why choose CentralCustom for your back-print leavers hoodies
Every name checked, not just pasted in. The back print is the part everyone reads first, so we lay it out by hand and send you a proof before anything goes to print. Spellings, nicknames and the odd unusual name all get a second look, so nobody opens their hoodie to find a mistake.
Free design and a digital proof. You don't need design software or artwork ready to go. Give us your school or group name, your class of year and the list of names, and our team builds the front logo and the back name list for you. You approve the proof before we print — there's no charge to see it first.
Prints and embroidery that survive the wash. Leavers hoodies get worn constantly, so we use hard-wearing print and embroidery methods matched to your design. A back full of names stays crisp and readable wash after wash, not cracked and faded by the summer holidays.
Bulk pricing with flexible ordering. Order as one bulk run on a single invoice, or let each student order and pay for their own hoodie and size through a simple order link. Either way you get proper group pricing rather than one-off prices.
UK-based and made to your deadline. We're a UK custom clothing specialist, so your order is produced and delivered here, in time for your last day, leavers assembly or prom. Tell us the date you need them by and we'll work back from it.
Who back-print leavers hoodies are for
Back-name leavers hoodies work for any group finishing something together. We produce them for Year 11 and GCSE leavers marking the end of secondary school, sixth form and college cohorts finishing their A-levels or BTECs, and university course groups graduating together — where the back often lists everyone on the course or in the halls. They're just as popular for Year 6 primary school leavers moving up to secondary, and for sports teams and clubs wanting to remember a promotion-winning or final season with the whole squad's names on the back.
Whatever the group, the format is the same: a front logo or crest, and a back that turns your hoodie into a snapshot of exactly who was there that year.
Frequently asked questions
How does the back name list actually work?
You send us the list of names and we arrange them into a tidy, readable layout — usually a block or fan shape with your year, school or group name at the top. We proof it with you before printing so you can check every name.
Can we use nicknames instead of real names?
Yes. Plenty of classes use nicknames, and it's often the part people love most. Send the exact wording you want for each person and we'll print it as written.
What's the minimum order?
We handle everything from small groups to whole year groups. Get in touch with your rough numbers and we'll confirm pricing and any minimum for your chosen hoodie.
How long does it take?
Turnaround depends on quantities and the time of year (summer is busy), so order as early as you can. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we'll confirm whether it's achievable and lock in a production slot.
Can everyone choose their own size?
Yes. We can set up individual ordering so each student picks their own size, or you can supply a size breakdown for a single bulk order.
What happens if a name is spelt wrong on the list you send?
We print what's approved on the proof, so the proof stage is your chance to catch typos. We always recommend one person double-checks the full list against the class register before signing off.
