Jersey Names and Numbers: Tips Before You Order
· 4 min read
The names and numbers are what make a jersey yours. Here's what you can print, where it goes, and how to avoid the most common mistakes.
What you can put on each jersey
- Front: a name and a number
- Back: a name and a number
- Sleeve: a number (on jerseys with sleeves; basketball jerseys are sleeveless)
Every spot is optional, so you can print just a back name and number, or fill in all of them. Names can be up to 20 characters and print in capital letters. Numbers can be up to 3 digits. All of it is included in the price.
Common setups
- Classic: last name and number on the back, number on the front.
- Team name up front: the team name in the front name spot, with the player's number below it.
- Number everywhere: the same number on the front, back and sleeve for a pro look.
Name ideas beyond last names
- Nicknames for rec and beer league teams
- First names for kids' teams, where several players may share a last name
- A family name and the year for reunions and trips
- Your fantasy team or company name for the front
Avoid these mistakes
- Typos: we print exactly what you type. Have each player spell their own name.
- Duplicate numbers: check the whole roster before ordering.
- Mixed-up players: make sure each name is paired with the right size.
- Extra spaces or punctuation: what you see in the cart is what gets printed.
