    I know this has already been discussed and there are already threads for this, but they have been inactive for some time so I don't expect a reply from them.

    So in international standards, what are the dimensions for the text for both your name and country? And also what font is used for the name printing? I can't find it. And if possible I would like the dimensions of the Yonex logo on the back too.

    Here's what I'm talking about: [​IMG]

    Hey there,
    I got this from BWF


    22. LETTERING ON PLAYERS’ CLOTHING
    22.1 In all sanctioned tournaments, including those organised by the BWF itself, and Multi-sport
    games, each article of clothing may only have visible lettering as provided in Regulations 22.2 to
    22.5.
    22.2 Colour, style and height of lettering
    22.2.1 Lettering shall be in capital letters in the Roman alphabet (except as in Regulation
    22.5.2), and in one single colour contrasting with that of the shirt.
    22.2.2 If there is a pattern on the back of the shirt, the lettering should be on a contrasting panel.
    22.2.3 In order that the player’s name be legible from a distance for spectators in the stadium
    and television viewers, lettering must be a minimum height of 6 centimetres and a
    maximum height of 10 centimetres.
    22.2.4 The country name must be a height of 5 centimetres.
    22.2.5 Lettering should be horizontal, or as close to horizontal as practically possible, and
    placed near the top of the shirt.

    23. ADVERTISING ON PLAYERS’ CLOTHING
    23.1 In all sanctioned tournaments, including those organised by the BWF itself and Multi-sport
    games, articles of clothing may only have advertising as provided in Regulations 23.2 to 23.5.
    23.2 The shirt may carry advertising as in Regulations 23.2.1 to 23.2.2.
    23.2.1 A maximum of one advertisement may appear on each of the following locations; left
    sleeve, right sleeve, left shoulder, right shoulder, left collar, right collar, right chest, left
    chest and centre chest. The shoulder is defined as the visible part of the shoulder on the
    front of the shirt. There must be no more than five advertisements in total and National
    flags or emblems for the purpose of this regulation count as advertisements. Each
    advertisement, including National flags or emblems, must be 20 square centimetres or
    less.
    23.2.2 Advertising contained in a band of uniform width not exceeding 10 centimetres on the
    front and not exceeding five centimetres on the backs. Such a band may be at any angle
    and may be on the front of the shirt, the back of the shirt, or both.
    23.2.3 If, in the Referee’s sole judgment, there is a clash between the content of the advertising
    in Regulation 23.2.2 and the tournament sponsors or the TV broadcasters, or if the
    content of the advertising would infringe local laws or be considered offensive, then the
    Referee may limit advertising on the shirt to Regulation 23.2.1.
    23.3 Other Clothing
    23.3.1 Each sock may carry two advertisements of 20 square centimetres or less.

    less.

    ‘underclothing’ and not categorised as ‘articles of clothing’, and if visible must not
    display advertising.

    23.4.4 Players displaying tattoos, paints, transfers or similar (which are not on clothing) may
    not display any tattoo, paint or transfer which is illegal, defamatory or commercial in
    nature or otherwise in breach of the principles relating to advertising on clothing outlined
    in 23.4.3
    23.5 In multi-sports games (e.g. Olympic Games) the organisers may specify more restrictive
    advertising limitations on players’ clothing during play than in Regulations 23.2 to 23.4.

    You should use whatever you like. There is no rule you have to use that font :p. Also that logo is the old size, which is not according to regulations anymore ...

    From the standard fonts available Impact is pretty close (just a little fat)
    M A L A Y S I A

    But it is probably one form of Helvetica, maybe custom even as I have two national team jerseys with an R in it and it is different. It used to be, probably still is, one of my favorite font styles as well but there are better out there. Certainly with the new regulations it doesn't look as good as before ...

    Depending on how big you want it to be on your shirt, I think I'm usually stuck to 18 inches across the chest as the biggest one to fit on small shirts.
    Resolution depends on what you print as well, if you shoot at 300, you're going to be fine though. If you're going to screen half-tone, you're going to have to do some other prepress work where your resolution can be as big as you want, and when you half-tone it, the most you're going to be able to do for crap is around 55LPI.

    It is the most common with the pros. Another name for this design is silkscreen printing.

    For this method to work, you will need a stencil, and a nylon mesh. You set up the stencil, which is held by the nylon mesh. A water proof material will block the negative space that you want to design.
