A crew neck sweatshirt is the most-requested NP layering piece across primary care, urgent care, and telehealth practices. It is warmer than a long-sleeve tee, lighter than a hoodie, and has a cleaner silhouette for video calls and patient-facing days. Bear Grips Pro Shops offers custom NP crew necks starting at $34.88 VIP base with no minimum order.
Hoodies pull double duty for off-duty pride, but the hood and bulk can read too casual for patient-facing days or video visits. A crew neck sweatshirt gives the same warmth without the hood and sits cleaner under a clinic badge lanyard.
Where NPs reach for the crew neck:
For colder ICU or ED settings where heavier coverage matters more than the profile, a pullover hoodie is the better pick. The crew neck is the everyday-pro layer.
Two crew necks cover almost every NP order from the Bear Grips catalog:
Both options support full-color custom designs including credentials, clinic logos, specialty discipline marks, and personalization. Browse the full sweatshirt and hoodie catalog for every color and brand option.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.A crewneck has a wider chest-print area than a tee, which makes the design layout matter more. The proven approaches:
Embroidery is worth the small upcharge for crewnecks used as gifts or staff retreat pieces. Embroidered logos hold up across years of laundering in a way print does not on a heavier fleece weight.
VIP base for NP crewnecks runs $34.88 to $41.88. Most clinics and NP grad gift orders retail crewnecks between $48 and $62, leaving $13 to $20 of margin per piece sold.
| Style | VIP Base | Common Retail | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bear Grips Perfect Soft Crewneck | $34.88 | $48-55 | $13-20 |
| Champion Crewneck | $41.88 | $58-68 | $16-26 |
For a clinic gifting program where the practice covers the cost, set retail equal to base cost. The shop link then becomes the internal procurement channel for staff orders. No inventory, no exam-room storage cabinet, no manual order tracking.
Same flow as every other NP shop product:
Each NP picks their size and color and the crewneck ships in about a week. There is no minimum order, no upfront commitment, and no manual fulfillment work for the clinic.
Pick a style, drop your credential design, set retail pricing, and let your clinic team or NP peers order direct. No minimum, no inventory.
Start FreeA crew neck has no hood and a cleaner silhouette for telehealth, patient-facing days, and clinic ownership pieces. A hoodie is warmer and more casual, better for ICU/ED cold-room coverage, pre-shift commutes, and off-duty pride.
Yes. Embroidery is the recommended choice for crewnecks used as gifts, retirement pieces, or clinic owner pieces because the stitched thread holds up across years of laundering. Print is a better fit for higher-volume fundraiser or event crewnecks.
Standard sizing runs XS to 3XL on most styles, with 4XL and 5XL available on select fits. Sizing is consistent across the catalog so a clinic team can order one design across the full size range without compatibility issues.
