Inspiration
Stories from the arm
Professional football
One match, one band: Sparta – PSV
On 6 May 2023 Sparta's captain wore a band that was used exactly once. Both club crests, the date, the opponent. After the final whistle it did not go back in the bag; it went to the display cabinet. More and more clubs turn every home match into a small monument this way — and it costs less than you think.
Countries & tournaments
Orange on the arm — and 74 other countries
The country band is the classic. At a Euros or a World Cup it is everywhere: in the schoolyard, at the neighbourhood tournament, on the campsite in France. But the best-selling country band in our shop is not the Netherlands. It is the Czech Republic.
City & region
Stronger through struggle
Rotterdam's coat of arms carries a motto that might as well have been written for every captain. Regional bands are the shop's quiet bestsellers: Utrecht has been on top for years, with Rotterdam, Limburg and The Hague behind it.
Captain Armband Group prints personalised captain armbands: pick a band from the collection or design your own in the 3D designer with your logo, name and club colours. Every band comes in 15 sizes (XS, S, M, L and XL, 6, 8 or 10 cm high), stitched or velcro, from 1 piece with quantity discounts for larger orders. The bands are made in Zoetermeer, the Netherlands, and shipped within two working days across Europe.
Frequently asked questions
Which sizes of captain armband are there?
Fifteen: five circumferences (XS, S, M, L and XL) in three heights (6, 8 and 10 cm). The size fits the arm, the height decides how much room there is for a logo and text. You pick both on the band page; the size guide helps you measure the upper arm.
Can I order a single captain armband?
Yes, every band can be ordered from 1 piece. From 5 identical bands in one order the price per band drops in steps; above 100 pieces we make a tailored quote within one working day.
How soon will I have my captain armband?
Every armband is made in Zoetermeer (the Netherlands) as soon as you order and shipped within two working days, with track & trace. Shipping costs depend on your country; you'll see them in your cart.
What is the difference between stitched and velcro?
A stitched band is a closed ring made to size: nothing comes loose or slides during the match. A velcro band is adjustable and easy to put on and take off, handy when the band changes arms. Both closures come in every size; velcro costs a little more.
Can I put my own logo on the band?
Yes. In the designer you upload your club or sponsor logo as an image, preferably a PNG or SVG with a transparent background. You place and scale it directly on the band and see it in 3D on the arm.
How do I design my own armband?
Pick size and closure, give the armband a colour, add text or your logo and drag everything into place. In a 25-second film and six steps: How to design your armband.
What is a club package?
A club package is a set of 8 cm captain armbands for every team of the club: 10 to 100 bands, mixed in the sizes XS to XL, stitched or velcro. After your order we get in touch and our designers make the design together with you, with club logo and sponsors.
Do you ship outside the Netherlands?
Yes. We ship to all of Europe and the rest of the world, except to countries under sanctions. You'll see the shipping costs in your cart as soon as you choose your country.
Can I exchange or return a printed captain armband?
A printed band is made especially for you and is therefore excluded from exchange and return. If something is wrong with your band, contact us and we will sort it out.
A whole season in one order
One design, one armband per match: opponent and date on it, done. Or eleven armbands with eleven names. You type a list, we print them — at the tier price of the whole package.
