Official black Premier League printing

What is the official black Premier League lettering?

The official black Premier League lettering refers to the marking used to place a name and number on an English club shirt when the kit is in black. This shade corresponds to the home, away, or third shirts of several Premier League clubs depending on the seasons, and the black lettering is designed to match the shirt's contrast rather than stand out against it. On this page, you can find the letters and numbers that make up this marking, to choose one by one to recreate the desired name and number.

How does the Avery Dennison marking work on these letters?

The marking is done using Avery Dennison technology, a process used by clubs and manufacturers for supporter version lettering. Each letter or number offered here uses the official typography and black colour of the competition, so the final result visually resembles what a player wears on the pitch. The marking is applied individually: you select each character of the name, then the numbers of the desired number, to create your complete lettering.

On which shirts can you apply official black lettering?

This black lettering is designed for Premier League shirts where the dominant colour is black, whether it's a home, away, or third shirt based on the clubs and seasons. Before creating your lettering, check the exact shade of the shirt you plan to personalise: a slightly nuanced black, such as charcoal or matte black, might direct your choice towards this page rather than another colour. If the shirt is white, navy blue, or red, the corresponding pages offer marking to match those shades.

When should you look out for the best deals on Premier League letterings?

The prices of letterings and shirts change with the website's promotional activities.

Foot-Store also maintains several permanent pages you can check at any time: the new arrivals, special offers, good deals, clearance, and sales.

Frequently asked questions

Can you mix several colours of lettering on the same shirt?

No, an official lettering is made up of a single colour that corresponds to the shirt it will be applied to. If you're unsure between several shades, choose the one that closest resembles the actual shirt rather than mixing pages.

Does the black lettering fit all Premier League clubs?

The black lettering fits any shirt whose dominant colour is black, regardless of the club involved. Since shirt colours change with seasons and collections, it's useful to check the exact shade of the shirt before creating the marking.

How do you create the name and number from these letterings?

Each letter and number is sold separately on this page. You need to select the characters that make up the player's or supporter’s name one by one, then add the numbers of the desired number.

Is the official black lettering identical to the lettering worn by players?

The marking uses the same Avery Dennison technology and the same typography as that used on official shirts, which closely resembles the lettering worn on the pitch. It corresponds to a supporter version rather than the player version worn in matches.

Do you need to add the Premier League badge to the lettering?

The badge is not included in the letters and numbers of the lettering: it is selected separately on the Premier League Badges page. Many supporters pair it with the name and number marking to resemble a complete official shirt.
