A Look Back on Previous Years

As we journey through the past years of Hartland Hoodies, we uncover a timeline filled with unique designs, colours, and heartfelt memories. Each year, schools and students have collaborated with Hartland Hoodies to create leavers hoodies that not only celebrate their academic milestones but also their school experiences, especially during unique circumstances such as the lockdown periods.

Memorable Designs from Lockdown

During the challenging times of the lockdown in 2020 as a result of the pandemic, Hartland Hoodies introduced special edition leavers' hoodies that resonated with the unique experience of students. Schools like Townley and Victoria School adopted themed designs that captured the essence of popular TV shows like "Friends" and "Stranger Things" to lift spirits. These designs featured playful and nostalgic elements that reminded students of the togetherness they missed during remote learning.

Lockdown Slogans and Symbols of Hope

To further personalise the hoodies, some schools added meaningful slogans that highlighted resilience and solidarity. One adaptation was the incorporation of a rainbow symbol, an emblem of hope during the lockdown, embroidered onto each of the leavers hoodies. This small yet powerful addition transformed the hoodies into symbols of unity and positivity.

Innovative Customisations

Schools have continually sought to make their leavers' hoodies unique. For instance, one school opted for a vibrant yellow print, rather than choosing from the more traditional colours to make a bold statement. Another school went a step further by designing a custom front print for their leavers hoodies, incorporating a large leavers' print on the back and adding names or initials along the sleeve, a creative twist that personalised each hoodie even more.

Teachers' Involvement

Reflecting on community spirit, teachers from a local school had their own customised hoodies, showcasing their support. This gesture not only boosted morale among staff but also highlighted  the school community.

As we look forward to future designs, we are inspired by the past leavers designs that have brought smiles, comfort, and a sense of pride to so many school leavers. Organise your leavers hoodies and celebrate your school memories in style!
