T-Shirt and Hoodie Printing in Liverpool

Custom T-shirts, hoodies and workwear for Liverpool are printed by FabricForge and sent to your address. Production happens at our Liverpool site, where walk-in callers cannot be seen, so everything is arranged by message on WhatsApp, by phone or by email.

We have no minimum quantity, so a lone hoodie is as welcome as a hundred polos, and five items or more attract a discount. This page is a local guide for anyone organising clothing on Merseyside. Alongside the calendar, the districts we reach and the path of an order from first message to doorstep, it profiles thirty-plus Merseyside universities, hospitals, clubs, stages and employers with an idea of what each one's people might wear.

Liverpool's year in clothing, one season at a time

Merseyside's diary is full enough that nearly every group can find a date to build an order around. The notes below sketch what people tied to each occasion usually need. They say nothing about who FabricForge has printed for. Dates vary from year to year, so check each organiser's own page before planning.

Spring: March to May

• Liverpool Half Marathon. This race is usually held in March and its places go quickly. Charity runners often want matching tops, and their cheering sections like something bright. Marie Curie's Great Daffodil Appeal also runs through every March, which suits volunteer tops.
• Grand National Festival at Aintree. The racing is usually staged in April. Race-day syndicates, work outings, hospitality staff and hen or stag groups tend to order polos and T-shirts carrying a shared name or joke.
• Southport Food and Drink Festival. It fills Victoria Park in late spring, and stallholders usually want branded T-shirts or aprons for their teams.

Summer: June to August

• Africa Oyé in Sefton Park. Held in June, it calls for volunteers, stewards and community groups in clearly marked crew shirts.
• On the Waterfront and the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament. Both usually sit in mid-June, at the Pier Head and Liverpool Cricket Club. Event staff and club volunteers are the usual buyers.
• The Open at Royal Birkdale. Whenever the Open Championship returns to the course near Southport in July, marshals, volunteers and touring golf societies commonly order matching polos.
• Liverpool City Region Pride and We Are Wirral Festival. Both tend to be held in July, the second in Birkenhead Park. Marching groups and staff networks like colourful tees with a slogan.
• International Beatleweek and Creamfields. Beatleweek runs across the end of August, and Creamfields at Daresbury fills the last bank holiday weekend of summer. Tribute acts, venue crews and camping parties often want matching hoodies.

Autumn and winter

• Merseyside derby weekends. The derby between Liverpool and Everton matters deeply to local fans, and supporters' groups and pub teams order matching tops for these fixtures.
• River of Light. Held along the waterfront from late October into early November, it gives volunteers and guides a reason to wear a shared top after dark.
• Liverpool Santa Dash. Held in early December with a 5K and a shorter Mini Dash in the city centre, it sends fundraising teams out in tees worn over their costumes.

Who is who on Merseyside, and what their people need printed

The organisations below are outlined using public information, and each description ends with a few clothing suggestions for its people. Each one is described briefly and carries no suggestion of a working relationship.

Higher education on Merseyside

The University of Liverpool received its charter in 1903 and has more than 31,000 students. Its campus is about five minutes' walk from the centre, which makes departmental hoodies and graduating-year designs easy to wear on nights out.

Standing at 160 Mount Pleasant, the Liverpool Guild of Students dates from 1889 and runs Mountford Hall, a 2,300-capacity gig venue. Bar and stage volunteers want crew tees, and societies that stall at freshers' fairs prefer a matching top for the committee.

Tracing its roots to 1823, Liverpool John Moores University gained university status in 1992 and teaches across City Campus, Mount Pleasant Campus and Copperas Hill. Course years can print a shared hoodie, and its teams facing the University of Liverpool in the Varsity Cup can add surnames to match shirts.

At John Moores Students' Union, officers and volunteer representatives need tops that make them easy to find during welcome events. Sports clubs and societies under its umbrella might add names on the back of training tees for away days.

Spread across Hope Park in Childwall, the Creative Campus in Everton and Aigburth Park, Liverpool Hope University became a university in 2005. With three sites, a design that unites students from each, such as a hoodie with all three locations, could be fun.

Run as HopeSU, the students' union of Liverpool Hope gives its societies and volunteers a voice. Committee polos, charity-challenge tees and a shared hoodie for the sports teams all fit the sort of activity such a union organises.

Opened in 1996 on Mount Street and founded by Paul McCartney with Mark Featherstone-Witty, LIPA trains people for the performing arts. Its students who stage showcases need black production tees, and tote bags suit those who carry kit between rehearsal spaces.

Founded in 1898, the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine sits in the city's Knowledge Quarter. Research teams heading out on a sponsored challenge, and postgraduate cohorts marking their year, can wear one-colour tees or hoodies carrying a simple emblem.

Described as the largest further education college in the City Region, City of Liverpool College prepares learners for trades and careers. Workshop cohorts benefit from branded polos or hi-vis for placements, while leavers like a signed-off hoodie as a keepsake.

Science, health research and the Knowledge Quarter

Covering 450 acres, the Knowledge Quarter Liverpool is an innovation district said to include well over a hundred life-science companies. Start-ups within it can give each team member a staff hoodie, and conference organisers can order tote bags for delegates.

Established in 2006 and hosting more than sixty businesses, Liverpool Science Park gives young companies a shared address. Small firms launching a product might choose a uniform tee for a pop-up stand, and tenants can mark an anniversary with a team design.

The northern headquarters of the Royal College of Physicians is in Paddington Village. Event teams running its conferences and training days need name-ready staff polos, while delegate packs often include a canvas tote.

Among its neighbours is the National Oceanography Centre, which has a Liverpool presence. Researchers and technicians going out on field days could use a durable team tee, and outreach volunteers talking to school groups might prefer something with a sea-blue print.

Hospitals, hospices and charities

On Mount Vernon Street, the Royal Liverpool University Hospital opened accident and emergency in its new building on 20 October 2022. Ward teams planning a fundraiser, or porters and domestic staff on a team day, would be happy with matching tees.

Springfield Park has housed Alder Hey Children's Hospital in West Derby since a new building opened in October 2015. Supporters of the charity attached to it often run in bright colours, so child-sized tees and parent-sized hoodies with a first name are common wishes.

With about 50,000 patients a year, Liverpool Women's Hospital on Crown Street joined a wider hospital group in November 2024. A newly merged workforce could use a unifying design for a fun run, and clinical teams can order scrubs with names under local rules.

Treating cancer across several sites, The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre has its main base in Bebington, a Liverpool site beside the Royal, and a radiotherapy centre at Aintree. Patients' families and staff walking for the charity prefer a single bold colour that stands out along the route.

Providing care for children and young adults from birth to 23, Claire House Children's Hospice was founded in 1998 in Bebington and has a hub in West Derby. Volunteers at fairs and families on memorial walks tend to like a child's name printed large.

Begun in 1948, Marie Curie lists a hospice in Liverpool and its Great Daffodil Appeal runs throughout March. Volunteers running a daffodil stall look striking in yellow-themed tops, and totes make an easy fundraising extra.

Council, port and the working city

Home to 85 councillors, Liverpool City Council works from a Town Hall built between 1749 and 1754 and from offices in the Cunard Building at the Pier Head. Parks and highways crews need hi-vis, while community clean-up volunteers can wear a bright shared tee.

The Port of Liverpool traces its Old Dock to 1715, the first enclosed commercial dock, and opened the Liverpool2 terminal in 2016. Dock-side contractors put hi-vis and branded workwear to daily use, and firms with trainee intakes enjoy a matching tee.

Since 2008, Liverpool ONE has covered 42 acres with roughly 170 shops and a large department-store anchor. Retail staff on promotional weekends wear polos with a simple logo, and seasonal helpers need clear name-tag ready tops.

Run as part of the region's public transport network, the Mersey Ferries cross to Woodside in Birkenhead and Seacombe in Wallasey. Deckhands, ticket staff and volunteers greeting passengers on special sailings could wear navy polos or hoodies with a plain wave logo.

Football, cricket, golf and rugby

Bramley-Moore Dock now holds Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium, which staged its first competitive game on 24 August 2025 and fits 52,769. Match-day supporters' clubs order names and numbers, and local junior sides like a shirt using their own colours.

Opened in 1884 and seating 61,276, Anfield is Liverpool's home, with the Kop among its stands. Family groups sort out tops for a shared trip, and amateur sides and fan podcasts can print their own crests on hoodies.

Across the water in Birkenhead, Tranmere Rovers have played at Prenton Park since 1912 as a Football League club. Wirral supporters' groups and youth teams may want names on hoodies, and the volunteers working a home fixture would welcome identical tees.

Aigburth has been the base of Liverpool Cricket Club since 1880, though the club itself was founded in 1807. Junior sections want player-name tops, while volunteers for its June tennis tournament need clearly marked event shirts.

At Hoylake, the Royal Liverpool Golf Club has hosted the Open Championship many times. Members planning a society day or tournament marshals might choose printed polos, and visiting groups can add a fun day name across the chest.

Playing in a town long known for glass-making, St Helens RFC are a long-established rugby league club. Fans' groups and junior sections order names on tops, and works teams from local firms can print a team name alongside the sport's own colours.

Across the river from Liverpool in Widnes, the Widnes Vikings are a rugby league side. Community coaches, parents on the touchline and a supporters' group could wear warm hoodies carrying a Viking-style logo of their own making.

Bootle FC represents the Sefton town of Bootle. A volunteer committee running a matchday, its youth coaches and a juniors' section can share one design that carries names and numbers.

Stages, arenas and concert halls

With a society dating to 1840 and a hall completed in 1939, the Liverpool Philharmonic is a cornerstone of the city's music. Choir members and youth ensemble players can wear plain black tops for rehearsals, and volunteers hosting audiences enjoy a discreet logo polo.

Seating 2,348 on Lime Street since 1925, the Liverpool Empire Theatre also hosts a summer school musical, the Stage Experience, each year since 2007. Young cast members could wear company hoodies, and the ushers and bar staff would like a smart black tee.

The Everyman and Liverpool Playhouse are run together by one trust. Backstage volunteers, community theatre members and teams staging youth projects order simple dark tees and hoodies printed with a production title.

Down at Kings Dock, the M&S Bank Arena and its convention centre have hosted gymnastics championships, darts, an international horse show and Eurovision in 2023. Gym clubs wear squad hoodies, and event stewards turn to hi-vis.

Cathedrals and museums

Described as the largest cathedral in Britain, the Anglican Liverpool Cathedral was built between 1904 and 1978 and hosts concerts, graduations and conferences. Volunteer guides and welcomers, plus choir members on tour, make good wearers of a clear polo or hoodie.

Consecrated on 14 May 1967 and nicknamed Paddy's Wigwam, Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral sits at the other end of Hope Street. Parish and youth groups making a pilgrimage might wear one colour, and its stewards a recognisable top.

Grouping the World Museum, the Walker Art Gallery, the Museum of Liverpool, the Merseyside Maritime Museum and the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight, National Museums Liverpool covers five sites. Teachers bringing a class can organise matching tees for the day, and gallery volunteers may prefer a single-colour polo.

A Liverpool order in four steps

• Message us. Send the design on WhatsApp, or by phone or email, with garments, sizes and quantities. A phone photo of a logo is enough to start.
• Approve the proof. We send a visual proof, and we check every name and logo against it before any ink goes down, so spelling slips are caught early.
• We print it here. The order is produced at the Liverpool production house using DTF full-colour printing.
• It reaches you. The finished order is delivered, with delivery timing and any charge stated in the quote you accepted.

What we can print for Liverpool groups

• T-shirts and hoodies for societies, clubs, crews and families
• Polos and workwear for staff, venues and trades
• Hi-vis vests and jackets for stewards and site teams
• Scrubs for care settings, subject to the employer's rules
• Tote bags for fundraisers, shops and events
• Names and numbers on football and other sports tops

All of it uses DTF printing, a method that handles colourful artwork, photographs and small runs equally well. Student committees can read our society hoodie page, fundraisers our charity fundraising T-shirt printing guide, and clubs our sports team kit printing page.

Timing a group order around Merseyside's diary

• Student societies should message us once the committee agrees a design, ideally before the autumn term and the Guild's freshers events fill up.
• For the Half Marathon or the Santa Dash, which come round every year, confirm your team early and gather sizes in one shared list.
• For derby fixtures, order names and numbers well ahead of the date.
• For Beatleweek, Creamfields or other summer crews, send your logo as one clean file and pick a colour that stands out in a crowd.
• Add a few spare sizes for late joiners, and tell us if a repeat order is likely.

Mention the occasion in your first message and the quote will say what is possible. See also our guide to festival and event T-shirt printing. The groups, venues and festivals mentioned above serve only as local context; FabricForge is not connected to, backed by or working with them.

Liverpool printing questions

Can our charity team order matching tees for the Liverpool Half Marathon?

Yes. Charity teams usually order tees with the cause name on the chest, and supporters often want matching tops too. Send the design and numbers on WhatsApp, approve the proof, and the quote will state delivery timing and any charge.

We are a University of Liverpool society. How does a hoodie order work?

Your committee emails or messages the design and a size list. We reply with a visual proof, you check each name and logo, and printing happens at the Liverpool production house. Orders of 5 or more items get a discount.

Do you deliver across the Mersey to Birkenhead, Wallasey or Hoylake?

Yes. Delivery covers Merseyside, including the Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley and St Helens. The timing and any charge for your postcode are written into the quote before you agree to anything.

Our group is going to Aintree for the Grand National. Can we get matching tops?

Yes. Race-day groups often order polos or tees with a shared name, joke or syndicate logo. Message the wording and sizes and a proof comes back. Mention the race date at the start so the quote can address timing.

Could a hospice fundraising team get tops for the Santa Dash?

Yes. Fundraising teams commonly order bright T-shirts to wear over costumes, usually with the charity name added. Tell us the event date, the number of runners and your logo, and the quote will cover timing and delivery. We are not linked to any hospice.

Can volunteers at a Southport festival or the Open get crew shirts?

Yes, provided the artwork is your own and not official event branding. Volunteer and stewarding teams usually order plain, clear crew shirts or hi-vis. Send your logo and numbers and a proof follows. We have no connection with those events.

Can names and numbers go on tops for a Merseyside junior football team?

Yes. Names and numbers are printed on the back of football and other sports tops using DTF. Supply a list of names, numbers and sizes, then read it carefully on the proof, since that is the moment to fix any mistake.

What sort of logo file should I send?

A vector file or a large PNG with a clear background is ideal, though a photo of a logo or a rough sketch is enough to begin. We will flag anything that needs tidying and show you a proof before printing.
