TIP:
When a customer orders front numbers for a jersey, ask them if they'd like numbers on the front of the shorts or pants of the uniform. Since you'll already be ordering that size of number, this makes for an easy add-on sale.
Common Letter and Number Sizes and Decorating Regulations:
| Youth Size | Adult Size | |
|---|---|---|
| Name | 2" | 3" |
| Front Number | 3" | 4" |
| Back Number | 8" | 9" |
| Shorts Number | 3" | 4" |
Front jersey numbers should be at least four inches high, six inches on the back. College jerseys must display numerals that are at least eight inches tall on the back of the jersey; four inches tall on the front. Numbered shorts are optional; numbered jerseys mandatory.
