Visual anatomy & craft review
A two-tone collegiate varsity block shown on weathered cream stadium banner stock with red and black stripes: stacked words pair crimson-filled and navy-filled octagonal capitals inside clean dark or red outer outlines, so the line reads as a stadium banner rather than a decorated slab. The outline is even and follows the block exactly, which is what makes the two-colour fill sit cleanly, and the octagonal corners give the face its college proportions. The banner and the stripes are staging. Because the cores are solid and the borders are straight, the face holds at a distance and cuts cleanly.

Sport League + Brittany Signature
Adds a warm human signature touch for 1-to-3-word callouts without competing against structured serif capitals.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Sport League’s stroke geometry.
Heavy octagonal proportions command a stadium wall, a gym banner and a chest print equally, so one face covers a season of kit, and the two-tone construction reads as school colours without a second graphic.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 260 mm chest graphic: row one in varsity crimson at 55 mm cap height, row two in deep navy at 40 mm, flanked by two horizontal jersey stripes 6 mm high. Place the block 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Heavy solid cores with clean straight borders cut cleanly on 1.4 inch and larger athletic HTV and print boldly in DTF. Check the stripe alignment on a test print before the full run.
The face gives a sports bar instant Friday-night authority without a sponsorship look, and the solid blocks stay legible on a board read at an angle in low light, where a thin serif would disappear.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 board: the venue at 90 mm cap height, the sections at 20 mm, and the items at 12 mm. Keep 28 mm margins, print two colours on a dark panel, and anchor the top and bottom with tracked slab caps in a 10 mm size.
Pre-production check
Check the board at five metres, where the outline can merge with the fill; keep 2 mm of clear outline. Confirm the 12 mm items read at two metres and that the stripes clear the text block.
A pennant is the natural home for a two-tone varsity block, and the heavy borders hold at the small end of a triangular format where most display faces collapse into a smudge.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 300 by 120 mm pennant: the league at 34 mm cap height, the year at 16 mm, and two inks on a felted stock. Keep 12 mm from the tapered edge and give +6 tracking so the wide borders never collide.
Pre-production check
Check the 34 mm word on the taper, where the outer outline can touch the seam; allow 12 mm of clearance. Confirm the two inks register on the felt and that the pennant hangs straight.
Technical & licence verification
Confirm included OTF/TTF/WOFF formats, full glyph tables and licence coverage on the live store page before batch production.
