Student council sweatshirts and hoodies are the cold-weather counterpart to officer polos. They show up at outdoor pep rallies, late-night homecoming setup, school board meetings in chilly auditoriums, and the long winter stretch when the council is still running events. Here are the three sweatshirt styles that work for student council and how to price them so the council nets a margin.
Crewneck Sweatshirts for the Whole Council
The Perfect Soft Crewneck Sweatshirt (Free base $40.96, VIP base $34.88) is the council's go-to. It is heavyweight enough for winter, soft enough for daily wear, and the wide chest area takes a large screen-printed council logo cleanly. The Unisex Champion Crewneck Sweatshirt (Free base $49.92, VIP base $41.88) is the premium step-up for councils that want a recognizable brand label.
Crewnecks fit the "council uniform" feel better than hoodies because they look intentional rather than casual.
Pullover Hoodies for Daily Wear
The Comfort Soft Hoodie (Free base $44.94, VIP base $36.88) is the comfort pick for daily wear. The Unisex Champion Performance Hoodie (Free base $53.93, VIP base $45.88) is heavier and warmer. Officers who want a piece they will wear off the council clock pick the hoodie over the crewneck.
Place the school logo on the chest at three to four inches wide. Officer titles go on the right sleeve.

The Classic Zip-Up Hoodie (Free base $49.92, VIP base $41.88) gives officers a piece they can throw on and off through the day without messing up their hair (a real consideration on photo days and assembly days). Stock the zip-up for officers and council seniors. The pullover stays the default for general members.
Officer Title Placement and Year Stamp
The most-requested layout for council sweatshirts:
- Chest: School mascot or council logo, four to six inches wide.
- Right sleeve: Officer title for officers; "MEMBER" or graduation year for general council members.
- Back yoke: Optional year stamp ("STUDENT COUNCIL 2025-2026") for a piece members keep as a yearbook keepsake.
A council that orders sweatshirts with the year on the back creates a piece each officer keeps for life. The cost of the year stamp is included in the base price.
Pricing the Council Sweatshirt for Margin
VIP base for the Perfect Soft Crewneck is $34.88. Set retail at $48 to $54 for a council margin of $13 to $19 per sweatshirt. For a 25-member council, a single sweatshirt drop nets the council $325 to $475 with zero inventory risk. See the full math at council fundraiser revenue math.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Crewneck or hoodie for student council?
Crewnecks look more uniform and intentional. Hoodies are comfortable for daily wear. Most councils stock both and let members choose.
Do you carry youth sizes for elementary council members?
Yes. The Youth Hoodie (Free base $44.92, VIP base $36.88) and Youth Crewneck Sweatshirt (Free base $39.93, VIP base $33.88) cover elementary and middle school council members.
Can we print the council name and member names on the back?
Yes. Some councils put a small council roster on the back of the council sweatshirt for the year. Each member sees their name on a piece the whole council wears.
What if our school has strict logo guidelines?
Upload the school-approved logo file. The shop uses your exact file on every order. Schools with brand standards manuals send us the official mark and we print it cleanly.
