Fonts
The number on the back is read from forty metres away. These are the typefaces we cut names and numbers in, and the rules that keep them legible.
Six Jersey Fonts
Each one is shown in a different kit colourway so you can see how the outline and contrast do the real work. Pick one from below, or send us your club font and we will match it exactly at no extra cost.
Block Bold
Heavy, upright and unmissable. Our most requested font and the safest choice for large squad numbers.
Most PopularCondensed Sans
Narrow and tall. Fits long surnames across the shoulders without shrinking the letters down.
Long NamesSport Condensed
A modern athletic cut with tight spacing. Common on pro style match kits and large squad numbers.
Pro StyleHeavy Grotesque
Thick strokes with generous counters. Reads clean even on a busy sublimated background.
High ContrastSquared Tech
Angular, squared off letterforms. Suits esports kits, cycling and modern club rebrands.
ModernVarsity Slab
The collegiate look. Pairs naturally with applique and chenille lettering on varsity jackets.
VarsityMade To Match. Made To Last.
We cut every name and number with precision and apply the right height, spacing and outline so it looks sharp on the pitch and stays that way.

Standard Heights We Print
Back number, adult jersey. Visible from the far touchline.
Front or chest number, and the sleeve number where used.
Player name above the back number, in a single line of capitals.
Four Rules For Legibility
Contrast Beats Colour
Light numbers on a dark kit, dark numbers on a light kit. A tonal number looks smart in a mockup and disappears on the pitch.
Add An Outline
On a busy printed background, a single or double outline separates the number from the design and keeps it readable.
Keep Names Short
Long surnames force smaller letters. Consider a shortened name or an initial, as most professional clubs do.
Same Font, Whole Squad
Mixing fonts across a team looks unplanned. One typeface, one size, one colour on every jersey in the run.
