Lettering & Numbering

Lettering and numbering on sportswear refers to the application of names, numbers, and sometimes logos or slogans onto athletic garments like jerseys, shorts, and training kits.

This is crucial for identification, branding, and aesthetic appeal.
Here is a breakdown:
 

 

Lettering 

Purpose: Typically includes team names, player names, sponsors, or motivational words.

Placement:

  • Across the back (player name)
  • Chest (team name or sponsor)
  • Sleeve or lower hem (optional)
  • Font Style: Bold, legible, and often standardized for the team or league.
  • Custom fonts can reflect team branding. 

 

Numbering

Purpose: Identifies each player uniquely on the field or court

Placement:

  • Back (large, centred)
  • Front (smaller, upper chest)
  • Shorts (optional or based on sport)
  • Size: Regulated by the sport’s governing body for visibility.
  • Style: Matches lettering style for consistency; often outlined for visibility.
