Where does the logo go on a jersey?
The team crest goes on the left chest, over the heart, about 3 to 4 inches wide. The main sponsor goes across the center of the chest. Smaller sponsors go on the sleeves, the back below the number or the back of the neck.

| Element | Placement | Typical size |

Sizes are typical starting points; your designer adjusts them to the jersey size.

League rules to check
High school, college and many adult leagues have rules on number size, number colors that contrast with the jersey, and sponsor sizes. Check your league's rulebook before you approve the mockup and send it to us: your designer will follow it.
Names and numbers cost nothing extra
On a sublimated jersey, names, numbers and logos are part of one print, so adding them costs nothing. See sublimated jerseys and how to get sponsors for your team.
