Summer is almost over, bummer. However, with the start of a new school year comes new opportunities for sales. As you prepare for the orders coming your way, we want to make sure you have everything you need for success when it comes to heat application.
FIRST THINGS FIRST – JERSEYS
Jerseys, the quintessential apparel item for team sports. You may think, ‘what help do I need there, I got this!’ We’re sure you do but sometimes we may need to confirm we are using the right size and placement of any decoration. That’s why we’ve given you an easy reference below. This guide includes Adult and Youth sizes.
Numbers Based on Position or Game
Basketball
Legal numbers are the following;
- 00 (A team roster may not include both a 0 and 00)
- 0-5
- 10-15
- 20-25
- 30-35
- 40-45
- 50-55
The reasoning: These numbers can easily be signaled by the referee using one hand.
Football
Rules recommend that player positions assume the following numbers:
- 1-9 Quarterbacks and Kickers
- 10-19 Quarterbacks, Receivers, Tight Ends, and Kickers
- 20-49 Running Backs and Defensive Backs
- 50-59 Centers and Linebackers
- 60-79 Defensive Linemen and Offensive Linemen
- 80-89 Receivers and Tight Ends (or 40-49 if those are taken)
- 90-99 Defensive Linemen and Linebackers
