Arched athletic slabs with pale fill, dark contours and scattered chips
Combat Jersey
Combat Jersey is an athletic slab in which the upper word follows an upward arc, the lower word runs straight with rounded rectangular bowls, and a pale fill sits inside heavy dark contours scattered with small chips.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Combat Jersey.
The arches lift the letters across the first row, the J and E keep broad slab ends, the contours stay thick and even, and small chips break the outline in scattered places. The arched contour is the character: it makes a team name read as a stitched patch, which is why the sample pairs the arc with a straight row beneath. Because the contour needs to survive, the face wants 30 mm of letter height before the chips read as wear, and vinyl under 2.2 inches lets a thin chip tear. The camouflage fabric and helmet are surrounding artwork; the outlined lettering is the face.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Combat Jersey’s stroke geometry.
Shirt print for a sports club
The arched contour suits a club shirt, and the pale fill keeps the name strong at 90 mm across a printed chest in two inks. Two inks keep the contour and the fill separate on a shirt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 300 mm chest print: set the upper arc at 90 mm and the straight row at 70 mm beneath, keep 18 mm between the rows, and keep every chip at 3 mm minimum so the contour holds.
Pre-production check
A chip thinner than 2 mm fills in on a screen print; check the film at full size and widen the chip, not the contour.
Banner for a sports day
The arched slab gives a school banner its energy, and the contoured letters stay readable at 55 pt across a printed sheet. The chips read as wear only at banner scale.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A2 banner: set the arc at 55 pt above the straight row at 45 pt, keep 16 mm between the rows, and keep 30 mm of margin so the arc clears the eyelets. Tape the edges before printing.
Pre-production check
An arc printed through an eyelet ring tears on the first windy day; check the banner and keep 25 mm between the arc and any ring.
Sign for a beach tournament
The athletic slabs read outdoors, and the pale fill against a dark contour holds a two-word title at 60 mm on a painted board. Outdoors the pale fill lifts the name off a dark board.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 600 by 300 mm board: set the arc at 60 mm over the straight row, keep 20 mm between the rows, and keep 28 mm of border so the contours are not cut by the frame. Use exterior paint on the board.
Pre-production check
Two rows painted closer than 12 mm merge into one shape; check the mounted board and open the gap to 18 mm. Mark both rows on the board before painting.
