The new name and number style for next season for the English Premier League, that is being adopted by club’s on their shirts, has been provided by Sporting iD. The idea of the new style is an attempt to reduce counterfeiting but also to make player identification easier for fans in the grounds and via television broadcasts.
The 2007/08 Premier League lettering and numbering is designed by the company formerly known as Chris Kay UK Limited. They created the original style of licensed name and numbers over a decade ago.
As well as creating the new style, Sporting iD will also supply the Premier League’s twenty teams with the letters, numbers & sleeve badges for official match kits.

at first i didn’t like the new writing, but i do like it now. much better than the old writing. i have the new united shirt with rooney on the back and its class. only problem is the writing peels off and needs to be ironed back on but apart from that its brilliant

they come as standard on all shirts now purchased, if you want to have them put on to a shirt you already own, check out this page on name & numbers.

i think it looks a lot smarter than what it did on the other shirts , and anyway the other lettering as been around for ages its nice to have change .. cant wait for the new united strip to come out n get nani on the back ..

How will it reduce counterfeiting? Are they gonna change it every season or something? I highly doubt it. I don’t get it …
Anyway, I like the new look (numbering/lettering/sleeve patch). Can’t wait to get new Liverpool jerseys with the new look =p
