Christmas Crew SVG

About this design

Matching shirts are a holiday tradition in a lot of families, and “Christmas Crew” is the perfect group saying: it works for parents, kids, cousins, coworkers and friends alike. The design stacks CHRISTMAS in rounded, bold capitals over “Crew” in a big, bouncy script, with a gold star on either side of the second line.

The capitals are separate letters, while “Crew” is welded into a single piece. Together with the stars there are thirteen pieces and four small holes, in letters such as the R, A and e. The rounded capitals are thick and forgiving, so this saying weeds quickly, which matters when you are cutting shirts for the whole family.

Color layers

• Lettering in red as the base, including the star outlines
• Stars in gold on top

Ideas for the whole group

• Family photo shirts. The same design in a different color for each person.
• Pajama sets for Christmas morning.
• Office party tees for a team or department.
• Friends’ trip sweatshirts for a holiday getaway.
• Matching tote bags for a holiday market outing.
• Dog bandanas so the pet is part of the crew.

Sizes for every shirt

The design passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide, which covers every shirt from a child up; for a toddler shirt or a dog bandana, use 5 inches or print it and cut around it.

Step by step: shirts for the whole family

1. Measure the chest print area of each shirt.
2. In the editor, set the width for each size and download the solid style.
3. Mirror and cut all the sizes from the same roll of iron-on vinyl, nesting them to save material.
4. Weed every copy, starting with the letter holes.
5. Press about 3 inches below the collar for adults and 2 inches for children.
6. Optional: press gold glitter stars on top for a two-color look.

Font note

The capitals and the script are open-licensed fonts converted to shapes, so you never need to install them and the layout stays exactly as designed.

Color ideas

• White lettering with gold stars on red, green or plaid shirts
• Red lettering on cream thermal shirts
• Black lettering with red stars on gray tees

Good to know

When the whole family wears it, small differences in placement stand out in photos. Use the same measuring method on every shirt so the designs line up in a row.
