What is a Sweatshirt?

A sweatshirt does more than keep you warm. With its heavyweight feel, cuffed details, and classic crew neck, it’s a staple that balances structure with comfort. Timeless in silhouette, modern in attitude – this is a blank built for all-day wear and endless versatility.

With roots in sportswear, sweatshirts are often paired with matching joggers for sportspeople to wear before or after training. Yet with time, the sweatshirts’ simplistic yet diverse aesthetic appeal bled into everyday fashion.

When the temperature drops, the sweatshirt steps up. It’s the go-to layer for colder days – easy to throw under a jacket, reliable enough to wear on its own. And when comfort’s the priority, nothing beats it. A firm favourite for lounging, living, and getting things done, sweatshirts bring ease without looking like an afterthought. Just pull on and go.

AM020 Anthem Sweatshirt

Sweatshirts have long been a popular option for customisation – think American high school-styled sweatshirts screaming ‘Go Jaguars!’ or even retail uniforms during the winter months. That’s why our sustainable clothing range offers a premium quality customisable sweatshirt, perfect for printing and embroidery.

The AM020 promises a soft feel on the skin, with a thick fabric made from organic cotton and recycled polyester. It has a contemporary, relaxed fit, making it just as stylish as it is high quality.

So, for whatever reason you’re creating customisable merchandise, be it workwear, sportswear or just for your personal wardrobe, the Anthem AM020 sweatshirt is an essential. 

What is a Hooded Sweatshirt?

If you’re going for more of a streetstyle look, you may be slightly more tempted by our customisable hoodies. A hooded sweatshirt follows the main principles as the classic sweatshirt, yet is equipped with a hood and drawstrings for adjusting the tightness, as well as pockets in the front.

Anthem has created a variety of hooded sweatshirts, including both mens’ hoodies and womens’ hoodies in a whole range of colours, of course. We even have the Studio Hoodie, a classic silhouette that is extremely gentle on the skin.

So, if you’re looking to introduce that street-style edge to your designs or just love the practicality of a hood and pockets, you’ll be more than pleased when our hooded sweatshirts arrive. 

Order Anthem Sweatshirts

Now that you’re all clued up on Anthem sweatshirts, explore the full range of garments that are crafted for comfort and built for print. Pair your sweatshirt with our sustainable joggers for a full tracksuit that’s equal parts comfort and conscious design. Whether you’re layering up or keeping it casual, this combo brings the fit and finish that makes a difference.
