⚽ Football Shirt Printing Guide - How to Customize & Print Soccer Jerseys

[@NinhLyUK]

Now for something a little different! During this country’s 2nd lockdown, I’ve not been able to go anywhere on my travels. So instead, here’s how I customize my football shirts (‘soccer jerseys’ if you’re an American). It’s a fairly easy process and with a bit of practice, you can do this without too much difficulty. Certainly saves you a boatload of money when compared to buying it from a sporting goods store. If you have any questions, create a separate comment and I’ll try and get back to you.

[@matthewdooley9046]

Quick question: how do you manage to keep the number and letters straight? Also, what if the shirt doesn’t have a cuff for the sleeves?

[@NinhLyUK]

Good questions. 1) either use a ruler (straight letters) or a template (curved letters) that you can download from the league's website. To make sure that it's straight on the shirt, use a ruler to make sure the first and last letters are exactly the same distance from the edges of the shirt seams. 2) If the sleeve doesn't have cuffs, always look at a picture of an actual shirt worn by the players. You can approximate it from the picture. Thanks.

Hi. How much pressure does the machine use for the shirts (low, medium or high)? Have you ever received heat marks on your jersey?

You should do a video discussing the possibility of American sports leagues cutting their leagues down to only big market teams ... what the economic impact would be and the talent pool

[@NinhLyUK]

It's an interesting debate, for sure. I think American teams have to have a wide demographic, as they operate on revenue sharing. It's beneficial to have more teams than less, as more teams equals more revenue. However - does that dilute the talent pool? People argue 'yes' for hockey and basketball, but no for football and baseball.

[@rockymanewasted]

@@NinhLyUK revenue sharing slipped my mind ... maybe American sports leagues would have to adopt a more capitalist approach if this concept were to take place

[@mostar2023]

Hello, one question for the Premier League name sets! I saw the measures 6 cm from the top of the shirt to the name, 6 cm from the name to the number. But can you tell me what is the distance (official measurment) from a letter to a letter of the name in millimeters ? Thanks

[@stephenavila4109]

Ninh - How long do we need to press iron for the Vapor Match Day Shirts? They are much thinner material than the regular home jerseys. Please let me know, thank you!!

[@Bojito1861]

What is the site where they explain the positioning of name set and patch?

[@Sunil-J]

When you state the iron should be at its maximum, I guess you mean at the maximum for the material you are using, simply because the material will get scorched or melt if too hot!

[@tc041179]

Hello great video mate, and I did use your method to remove the patches, very helpful. I wondered, the heat press machine, it's 38cm x 38 cm the one yout?

[@jimsouthsea]

Really great video - so much information. Thank you!!! I have a question - I'd like to replace the sponsor on an old football shirt. But it's the old foam style sponsor on shirts. Do you know what type of heat press vinyl this is? I much prefer it to the thin/shiny heat press vinyl of new age sponsor logo. Any help would be really appreciated.

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks James. I believe I know what you're referring to ... Manchester United used to have Vodafone sponsor their shirts with the same foam style vinyl. It's pretty obsolete and it's something you won't find in many places anymore. Back in the day, it used to be called 'puff printing', but I'm not sure what the official name of the type of vinyl it is? What I do know is that it comes as a flat sheet and expands into foam under the heat press. You have to use minimal pressure, but it bonds to the shirt and expands with heat ... hence why it looks like that.

[@jimsouthsea]

@@NinhLyUK Thanks so much for your reply. You're exactly right - the Man U Vodafone sponsor was indeed the same material. I think pretty much all sponsors were made of this up to a certain point. It's extremely frustrating to be able to find such little info on it. I stumbled across this video. If you skip to 3:20 you can see the Newcastle Brown Ale sponsor logo being applied to the shirt, but sadly it's not quite long enough to see how it's being applied. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpq5eoBuopKIqpo The search continues! Thanks again.

[@NinhLyUK]

@@jimsouthsea Yep, the stuff in the video is exactly what I'm talking about. Comes in a flat sheet, heat pressed very gently, once it expands, whip off the backing and you're done. Like I said, I'm pretty sure it's called 'puff vinyl' but nobody uses it anymore due to it's fragility and the fact that the colours always faded quickly. The modern stuff (especially the rubberised polymer vinyl made by Avery Dennison for this year's Premier League) is much superior in terms of durability. Good luck.

Question. From the manufacturers online stores, I know Adidas does this, you can basically order blank Jerseys/Football Shirts. I know you can basically order a Seattle Sounders shirt from their shop that’s blank. No patches, no logos, etc. For all intents and purposes you could make your own Football Shirt from the ground up, couldn’t you? BTW loved the Pickle Ball video. My father in-law is addicted, and I never saw the attraction, now I kind of do.
