Your county league's handbook applies these with local variations, always check the current season's handbook, as limits are revised.<\/p><p>This guide is general information, not legal advice, competition rules are the final word, and we check your league's current rules against your mockup on request.<\/p><h2>Junior teams: restricted sponsor categories<\/h2><p>Under-18 teams cannot carry sponsors related to betting\/gambling, alcohol, tobacco\/vaping or age-restricted products, even the pub that generously funds the senior side. Common compliant alternatives: the pub sponsors seniors while its food menu or function room brand sponsors juniors, or a second local business takes the junior front-of-shirt.<\/p><p>Post-DMCC and ASA rules, 'brand-adjacent' workarounds (a betting brand's logo without the word 'bets') are increasingly challenged, safest is a genuinely different sponsor for youth kits.<\/p><h2>Numbers, names and clash rules<\/h2><p>Leagues mandate legible numbers contrasting with the shirt body (and often specify height, typically 20\u201325cm). Some competitions restrict player names or require them; GK kits must contrast with both teams' outfield kits. Send us your league name with your order and we produce to its current spec, reprints because of a rule miss are entirely avoidable.<\/p><h2>Multiple sponsors and training wear<\/h2><p>Sleeve sponsors, back-of-shirt (above or below number), and shorts sponsors are commonly permitted as separate slots, training wear and tracksuits are usually unregulated, making them the easy home for sponsor number four and five. Sublimation makes multi-sponsor layouts free to print, so the constraint is the rulebook and taste, not cost.<\/p><\/article><\/div><\/section><section><div class=\"xv-wrap\"><div class=\"xv-answer\"><b>For grassroots UK football, sponsor logos are generally allowed, but county FA and league rules restrict size and placement and ban gambling sponsors on youth kit, always check your league handbook.<\/b> Xipid places sponsors to your spec; this guide is general information, not legal advice.<\/div><\/div><\/section><section><div class=\"xv-wrap\"><div class=\"xv-band\"><div><h3>Ready to kit out your <em>team<\/em>?<\/h3><p>Free 24-hour mockup \u00b7 no minimum order \u00b7 UK-wide tracked delivery.<\/p><\/div><div><a class=\"xv-btn\" href=\"\/uk\/contact\/\">Get Your Free Mockup<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"Football Kit Sponsorship Rules UK | FA & League Guide","rank_math_description":"UK football kit sponsorship rules explained: FA regulations, sponsor size limits, junior team restrictions (betting\/alcohol), and league-specific requirements.","rank_math_focus_keyword":""},"class_list":["post-4798","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/xipidsports.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/xipidsports.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/xipidsports.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xipidsports.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xipidsports.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/xipidsports.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4798\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/xipidsports.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
