AS Colour Youth Supply Crew | 3031

Description

The AS Colour Youth Supply Crew is the junior version of a blank that’s become standard issue for decorated fleece programs. At 290GSM in a cotton-poly CVC blend, it hits the mark for youth apparel — substantial enough to hold up through a school year or camp season, soft enough that kids actually want to wear it. The preshrunk fabric and double-needle construction mean what you decorate stays looking right, even after parents run it through the wash every weekend.

Who Orders It

Elementary and middle schools building spirit wear programs. Summer camps and day programs that need durable crew sweatshirts for counselors and campers. Youth sports leagues — soccer clubs, swim teams, Little League organizations — ordering team warm-ups. Children’s brands launching junior lines. Dance studios and performing arts programs. Church youth groups and scouting organizations running fundraiser apparel.

Decoration

The CVC blend and 290GSM weight make this a forgiving canvas for decoration. Screen printing lays down with solid coverage and minimal ink absorption into the fleece interior. Embroidery holds clean on the structured fabric — no need for excessive stabilizer on standard left-chest or full-front placements. DTG works well on lighter colorways, though expect slightly muted results compared to 100% cotton. For multi-color designs on dark crews, plastisol screen printing remains the most cost-effective method at volume.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on youth fleece?
Screen printing is the go-to for most youth programs — it’s durable, cost-effective at quantity, and handles the movement and washing that comes with kids’ clothing. Embroidery works well for smaller logos and adds a premium feel for school or team crests.

Is this good for school spirit wear programs?
This is exactly what we recommend for K-8 spirit wear. The weight is comfortable year-round in most climates, the CVC blend resists pilling, and the preshrunk construction means the size parents order in September still fits in May.

How does the sizing run?
AS Colour youth sizing runs consistent with standard US kids sizes. We recommend ordering true to size — the regular fit allows for layering without running oversized.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most youth apparel programs — especially school or sports orders — start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
