Custom Hoodie Brand: A Gymshark Onyx and Lululemon Scuba Alternative
- Gymshark's Onyx line and Lululemon's Scuba hoodie are two of the most searched specific hoodie names in fitness apparel, both finished, non-customizable products.
- Bear Grips Pro Shops covers the same hoodie use case (everyday wear, heavier premium fleece, zip and pullover) from $36.88 to $47.88 VIP base.
- A hoodie is typically the highest-margin item in a gym or studio's own starter lineup.
- The vendor sets retail and keeps the margin instead of driving members toward either brand's specific hoodie line.
"Gymshark Onyx alternative" and "Lululemon Scuba alternative" are both searches for a specific finished hoodie, not a category. Neither product can carry a gym's or trainer's own logo, because both are single-brand retail items. A gym or studio looking to put its own name on a comparable hoodie has to build that piece itself, which is exactly the gap a print-on-demand catalog fills.
What Onyx and Scuba actually are
Gymshark's Onyx line and Lululemon's Scuba hoodie are both specific, branded product lines within each company's catalog, sold at a fixed retail price with no option for a third party to apply its own logo. They are popular because of fit and fabric choices each brand made for its own line, not because of anything a gym or trainer could license or resell.
The hoodie lineup for a private label
- Comfort Soft Hoodie ($36.88 VIP base): the everyday pullover, the closest match to a Scuba-style daily hoodie.
- Unisex Champion Performance Hoodie ($45.88): the premium, heavier-weight tier.
- Classic Zip-Up Hoodie ($41.88): the zip alternative to a pullover.
- Women's Premium Cropped Hoodie ($47.88): a fashion-cut option for a women's lineup.

Design notes for a hoodie that reads premium
A small chest logo paired with a larger back graphic tends to read closer to the premium, minimal look both Onyx and Scuba are known for than a large all-over front print. Heather charcoal, black, and sand tend to be the top-selling colors across gym-branded hoodie lines.
