Artwork Guidelines for Custom Uniforms
Send your logo as a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) if you can, with Pantone colour codes. If you only have an image, send the largest PNG or JPG you have, ideally at least 2,000 pixels wide. Rockhint’s designers can redraw a low-quality logo, but the closer your file is to print-ready, the faster your mockup arrives.
Best file types, ranked
| File type | Quality for printing | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| AI, EPS, SVG, vector PDF | Best | Scales to any size without blurring |
| PNG with transparent background | Good, if large | At least 2,000 px wide |
| High-resolution JPG | Usable | White background must be removed |
| Screenshot, photo or small web image | Poor | We can redraw it |
What is a vector file?
A vector file stores a logo as shapes and lines instead of pixels, so it stays sharp at any size, from a sleeve badge to a full back print. Logos made in Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW or Inkscape are usually vectors. Ask whoever designed your logo for the “original” or “vector” file.
Colours
- Pantone codes are best. They’re the most precise way to match colours on fabric. Example: “Pantone 186 C” for a strong red.
- No Pantone code? Send HEX or CMYK values, or a physical item in your colour.
- Screens vary. Colours look different on phones and monitors, so judge final colours on the physical sample.
Fonts for names and numbers
- Tell us the font name, or send the font file if it’s custom.
- Choose bold, simple fonts for numbers. Referees must read them from a distance.
- Check league rules for minimum number heights.
Placement
Tell us where each element goes. Common positions:
| Element | Usual position |
|---|---|
| Team crest | Left chest or centre chest |
| Sponsor logo | Centre chest, or back below the number |
| Player number | Back, and often front or sleeves |
| Player name | Back, above the number |
| League or kit-maker patch | Right chest or sleeve |
Checklist before you send
- Logo in vector format, or the largest image you have
- Pantone, HEX or CMYK colour codes
- Font names for names and numbers
- Placement notes or a marked-up photo
- League rules on sponsor and number size, if any
- Roster with names, numbers and sizes

Frequently asked questions
What if I don’t have a vector logo?
Send the best image you have. Our designers can redraw it as a vector before printing.
Can you use a logo I found online?
Only if you own it or have permission to use it. We can’t print trademarks you don’t have rights to.
