Shirts Premier League: official names and numbers

What is the official Premier League printing?

The official Premier League printing is the name and number marking used on the shirts of clubs in the English league, reproduced in the font and style used on the pitch. It allows you to personalise a blank shirt or one that is pre-printed with the name of a player or your own name, along with a number of your choice. This marking is available in several colours to match your team's home, away, or third shirt.

What lettering colour should you choose for your shirt?

The colour of the printing depends on the shirt it will be applied to, with each club using different shades depending on the home, away, or third version. The selection offers Official White, Official Black, Official Navy Blue, and Official Red. If in doubt, look at the colour of the collar or the numbers already on your shirt to choose the closest lettering.

How to match printing and league badge?

A Premier League shirt worn in an official match typically displays a league badge on the sleeve or chest, alongside the name and number printing. These badges reflect the visuals used by the competition, including some special editions related to awareness campaigns. You can find all the Premier League Badges on a dedicated page, to pair with the printing for an outfit true to what is worn on the pitch.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell which colour of printing matches my shirt?

Check the colour of the numbers already on your shirt, or the colour of the collar and finishes, to select a matching lettering. Home, away, and third shirts from the same club often use different printing colours. If in doubt, a neutral colour like white or black is generally the most versatile.

Is the league badge required on a personalised shirt?

No, the league badge is an optional addition that replicates what players wear in an official match, but there’s nothing stopping you from printing a shirt without a badge. It mostly adds a visual authenticity for a shirt that aims to be close to the version worn on the pitch.

Can you print a child's shirt with the same lettering as adult shirts?

The official Premier League lettering is the same regardless of the size of the shirt, only the size of the printing is adjusted to fit the garment. The name and number remain identical, in the same font and relative proportions.

What is the difference between printing and a badge?

The printing refers to the name and number marking applied to the back and sometimes the front of the shirt, while the badge is a crest representing the competition, positioned on the sleeve or chest. Both complement each other but are purchased and applied separately.

Can a Premier League printing be applied to a shirt from a different season?

The official Premier League lettering remains generally stable from season to season, which allows a recent printing to be applied to an older shirt without major visual inconsistency. Only the cut or exact placement of the marking may vary slightly depending on the shirt model.
