- Best FNAF Hoodies: Conclusion
Five nights at Freddy’s was one of the first games I played that made me think, “oh, this is what a cool game world feels like.” I was immediately hooked, and it’s been a love affair ever since. I’m proud to say that more than a few of these hoodies have a home in my closet.
FNAF has dominated every part of pop culture since it came out. Unfortunately, there may not be any official clothing options sold by the creator of the games. However, there are still some solid options sold by other retailers. These can be found in person at brick-and-mortar stores and online at different retailers.
With the massive popularity of Five Nights at Freddy’s and the sheer number of retailers selling their hoodies, there is a lot of merchandise out there. So I’ve searched high and low to bring you the best FNAF hoodies on the market, and don’t worry, there is something for everyone!
Bottom Line Up Front
Fans have always wanted to express their love for their favorite Francises. I personally find clothing to be the best way to express my passion. These hoodies come in many styles and color schemes, from low-key and minimalistic to over-the-top and wacky.
Hoodies are the perfect put-on-and-go clothing, and they can mix and match with already selected outfits. I’ve compiled the best ones from multiple stores so that you can find the best one at a glance. Whether in stores or online, it’s been considered for this list!
Selection Criteria
I looked high and low for the most exciting and varied designs the internet offers for FNAF hoodies, and each of the hoodies on this list had to fit into these criteria:
- Each one had to have a unique take on the FNAF franchise characters or lore
- All of them had to be available in both adult and youth sizes
- They all had to be easy to find either in person at a store or on a reputable website
- Finally, they all had to be either pullover style or a zip-up hoodie
They each have to have a different vibe and energy so that no matter what your wardrobe looks like, there is one on this list that will be perfect for you. Soft, cozy, thick, or thin; I know you’ll find something perfect below!
My Top Picks
- My number one favorite hoodie on this list is the adorable glam-rock Freddy hoodie sporting the community’s famous quote: “way to go, superstar.” It’s a simple white pullover but a cute and different take on a specific FNAF character. Even though he is your mech friend in the latest release, everyone knows the fear he typically commands with his jump scares. This one can be found later on in the list in the Red Bubble section.
- The second-place winner for me on this list has to be another one from the red bubble list, the Lady Cadet hoodie. I’m a little biased on this one because Candy Cadet is one of my favorite characters from any piece of media. He’s so weird in the context of the game, and I think it’s incredible that he’s immortalized on this zip-up-style hoodie.
- The bronze place winner for me is the retro Freddy Fazer Blast pullover hoodie found once again on Red Bubble. This awesome pullover-style hoodie has a poster for the Freddy Fazer Blast area in-game. It gives F-zero vibes, and that’s always a plus in my book. This hoodie is nice and thick, so if you live in a colder area, this is the perfect hoodie for you.
Why FNAF Hoodies?
The hoodie is the most versatile piece of clothing; even in Southern California, I usually wear one. They can be great add-on pieces that extenuate any wardrobe and show your exquisite taste in video games.
The Best of Brick and Mortar Stores
Below are my favorite hoodies from each physical store that carry FNAF merchandise. I’ll help you decide which is best for you next time you go shopping!
Clothes shopping online can be intimidating. There are sizing charts and other helpful tools to get the right fit, but I prefer to see the item in the store and try it on before I buy. So, if you’re like me and prefer seeing things before buying, this is the section for you!
The Best Hot Topic Hoodie
Features
Though this product is currently out of stock on Hot Topic’s website, you can still find it at your local store. This is one of the most over-the-top hoodies on the list, but luckily the washing requirements are low-key. This hoodie is a 60/40 blend of cotton and polyester, so machine washing on cold is the best way to clean it. Just make sure to dry it on delicate because cotton can shrink otherwise.
Pros
- Ears and hat are included
- Pockets on the inside and outside
- Zip up
- Very soft and cozy
Cons
- Runs large
- Can shrink in the wash
The Best Target Hoodie
Features
This simple black hoodie is a pullover design without a zipper. It features a retro-looking Freddy Fazbear with his original group with the proud statement “I survived” written around it. I love that this hoodie declares both your love for the games and the frustration of trying to beat them for the first time.
Pros
- Officially licensed
- Bright and long-lasting colors
- Made of a mix of polyester and spandex
Cons
- Runs small
- Must be washed on delicate with cold water
The Best Walmart Hoodie
Features
This hoodie features a simple design of Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie during their jumpscare animation from the first game. Made of a blend of cotton and polyester and fettering a kangaroo pouch pocket, this hoodie is sleek and cool.
Pros
- Officially licensed
- Kangaroo pouch pocket
- pullover style
Cons
- Can shrink in the wash
The Best Online Only Hoodies
Below are some of the most fantastic hoodies I found on the internet. There are so many exciting designs that the fans have come up with, and it feels good to know that you are supporting someone who is a fellow fan.

The Best Amazon Hoodie
Features
This pullover-style hoodie is made of a blend of cotton and polyester, like many other entries on my list. Still, unlike the others, this one is absolutely chaotic with its design. Every character you can think of is featured on this hoodie, and it’s so crazy that it works!
Pros
- A cheaper option than others on the list
- Soft inner layer
Cons
- Thin
- Runs small
The Best Ziphoodie Hoodie
Features
This soft and sleek hoodie is one of the more creepy pieces on this list. Like the other pullover styles on this list, this hoodie is a cotton polyester blend with a kangaroo pouch pocket on the front. The big difference, though, is that it’s so eerie and is excellent at capturing the fear and dread of this horror franchise.
Pros
- Full single character design
- Very soft inside and outside
- Thick
Cons
- Long shipping times
- Can shrink in the wash
The Best Teepublic Hoodie
Features
This one is for the lore fans looking to add something to their closet. This pullover-style hoodie with a kangaroo pouch pocket is the first on my list centered around one of the most significant lore points in the original story: The Happiest Day. This was when the animatronics were brought to life, and it was the biggest reveal of FNAF three.
Pros
- Simple but important design
- Multiple color options

Cons
- Can shrink in the wash

Pros
- Zips up
- Colorful design

FAQs
Question: Is FNAF for 9-year-olds?
Answer: Five Nights at Freddy’s is a horror game with an age rating of twelve and up, so it’s definitely not intended for a very young audience. These games involve jumpscares and an unsettling ambiance that wouldn’t be suited for nine-year-olds. Still, the games don’t include blood or gore that could otherwise scare children.
Question: Is FNAF still owned by Scott Cawthon?
Answer: Scott Cawthon stated in 2020 that he would retire from video game development. He still helped as an advisor on Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted and Security Breach. The games are currently being produced by Steel Wool games.
Question: Does GameStop have FNAF stuff?
Answer: Game Stop currently doesn’t carry any FNAF hoodies, but they often stay stocked on various plushies, Funko Pops, and other types of merchandise.
Question: Does FNAF have blood?
Answer: As stated in an earlier question, Five Nights at Freddy’s is more on the innocent side of horror video games, so there is no blood or gore. All the various death screens in the game are simple jumpscare from the animatronic that attacked and then a cut to black.
Question: Is Glamrock Freddy good?
Answer: While seemingly friendly and helpful in this game, Freddy will still attack if you let his battery run out. Besides, Freddy is your best friend and mech suit in this game.
Best FNAF Hoodies: Conclusion
Whether you’re looking for a lightweight zip-up hoodie or a thick pullover for the winter, there are endless choices. I’ve compiled my favorites available across different physical and online retailers, and there is a perfect hoodie on this list for anyone!
