Sports Number Rules of Thumb
Due to the fact that all team jerseys are not alike, the following are some general rules
of thumb for team numbering.
If a name is used in conjunction with the number, the name 2" high and is
positioned about 2" from the collar. If it is an arched name, the highest
part of the arch would lay about 2" from the collar.

for the uniforms you ordered.
Baseball/Softball*
The ideal number size for the front of a baseball or softball jersey is 4" (left chest) and
the back is 8" for an adult shirt and 4" and 6" respectively for youth. Also, with a tail
design some use a 4" or 6" number underneath the tail and lined up to the right hand side of
the design. Varsity or Pro-Block fonts are suggested. Also available are Authentic Looking
Baseball Number Designs below.
Football*
The ideal number size for the front of a football jersey is 8" and the back is 10" for an
adult shirt and 6" and 8" respectively for youth. If there is not a team name the front
number will be the same size as the back number. In addition, if numbers are used on the
sleeves they are usually 4" tall. These will be printed about an inch from the bottom of
the sleeve, depending on the space available. Numbers can also be printed on the shoulder if
specified. The Varsity font is suggested for football jerseys. Also available are Authentic
Looking Football Number Designs below.
Soccer*
The ideal number size for the back of a soccer jersey is 8" for adult and 6" for
youth. Sometime a 4" number is used on the thigh of shorts, about an inch from the side and
bottom seams. Shadow or Varsity fonts suggested for soccer jerseys. (Note: The size of the
shadow numbers is measured by the solid number, the shadow will make it about a half
inch larger.) Also available are Authentic Looking Soccer Number Designs below.
