Flocking a football jersey means adding a name and number (or even a logo or badge) to personalize it. Whether it's to wear your favorite star's name or your own, here's everything you need to know.

What is jersey flocking?

Flocking refers to the application of inscriptions (name, number, logo) on a jersey, usually by heat transfer: a film is hot-pressed onto the fabric. This is the most common method because it is clean, durable, and affordable.

Different types of flocking

• Classic flocking (matte or glossy): the most common, clean, and resistant.
• Official flocking: reproduces the exact typography of the league (Ligue 1, La Liga, Premier League...).
• Special effects: metallic, glitter, or fluorescent for a unique look.

How much does flocking cost?

The price of a name + number flocking generally ranges from €5 to €15 depending on the technique and the number of elements. Adding a competition badge may cost a few extra euros.

Does flocking damage the jersey?

No, provided it is well done and well maintained. Quality heat-transferred flocking resists many washes if washed inside out, at low temperature, and without a dryer (see our care guide).
