How to Write Your Name on a Soccer Jersey

A signed soccer jersey is often kept as memorabilia by the individual who owns the jersey. You may desire to write your name, amongst other names that are written on the jersey, or do a lone signature. If you believe that your signature will someday have monetary value, it is important to write your name in a manner that will last a lifetime.

      Write your name on the back of the soccer jersey, if the jersey bears your name and number. It is common practice to write your name on top of the actual jersey number.

      Write your name in a way that is uniquely you. To do this, it's necessary to practice signing your signature in advance. The name doesn't have to be legible to others. It just needs to be your own unique way of writing your signature -- one that is difficult to be imitated by someone else.

    • 3

      Write your name using a permanent fabric marker. By using a permanent marker, your signature will remain on the jersey despite multiple washings. Fabric markers can be purchased from fabric stores, as well as arts and craft retailers.

      Use a marker color that is dark, so that your signature is readable. Black or dark brown markers will suffice, unless the soccer jersey is black/brown. If the soccer jersey is dark-colored, use a light color marker instead.
