One of the most exciting parts of getting a leavers hoodie is deciding on the name or nickname that will be featured. It’s a personal touch that makes your hoodie truly unique. But before you submit your choice, here are some important guidelines to help make sure your name or nickname looks its best and stays practical.
Keep It Short and Sweet – Avoid Overly Long Names
While it may be tempting to use a full name or a nickname with lots of character, keep in mind that there’s a limit to how long your name should be. Here’s why: the width of the ‘25’ on your hoodie determines how much room we have for each name. If your name exceeds this width, it has to be scaled down in size, which can make it less impactful and harder to read.
As a rule of thumb, sticking to shorter names or nicknames (10 characters or less is optimal) can ensure that your text appears clear and bold. Aim for a name that’s memorable but doesn’t require shrinking the font size to fit!
Be Careful With Personal Information
In today’s world, it’s easy to think of social media handles as part of our identity. However, we strongly advise against using handles, gamer-tags, or other personal info on your leavers hoodie. Remember, your hoodie will be worn in public, and you might not want everyone knowing how to find you on social media. This keeps your hoodie timeless and privacy-friendly, especially when it’s something you’ll keep for years to come.
Emoticons Have Varied Results
Emojis and emoticons are great for text messages, but they’re not ideal for clothing – especially with the classic varsity style font used on leavers hoodies. The shapes and details of emoticons often don’t translate well into this font, and the final look may be disappointing. The simplicity of varsity letters is what gives leavers hoodies their classic, enduring appeal. So, it’s best to stick to standard letters that will stand the test of time.
Conclusion
Choosing the right name or nickname for your leavers hoodie is about balancing style, readability, and practicality. By keeping your text short, avoiding personal handles, and steering clear of emoticons, you can ensure your hoodie looks great and feels unique.
