College lettering on your own words

Varsity lettering is built from a few strong ingredients: a heavy slab letter, a contrasting outline right around it, a second outline outside that, and team colors with plenty of contrast. The styles here put all of that on the words you type, so a school name, a graduation year or a nickname comes out looking like it belongs on a jacket.

Tips

  • Two colors plus white is the classic look — fill, outline, then a white or contrasting outer edge.
  • Arch the team name and keep the player name or year straight underneath.
  • Short words read best from across a gym or a field.

FAQ

QWhat are varsity letters?
Varsity letters are the heavy, square-cut lettering used by American high-school and college teams: a thick slab-serif letter with one or two contrasting outlines, often set in an arch. You see them on letterman jackets, jerseys, banners and spirit wear.
QCan I use my school or team colors?
Yes. Open a style with Customize more and change the fill and each outline to your colors — navy and white, red and gold, or anything else.
QCan I make an arched team name?
Yes. One of the styles is already arched; the arch follows your words. You can adjust the bend in the editor.
QCan I cut varsity letters for a jersey or shirt?
Yes. Open the style in the editor with Customize more and export a cut file: each outline becomes a solid shape and the colors go on separate layers, ready for iron-on vinyl. Remember to mirror the design before cutting heat-transfer vinyl.
QIs it really free? Do I need to sign up?
There is no sign-up and no account. Every feature, including transparent PNG and SVG download, is free while the tool is in beta. Anything you make during the beta stays yours to use.
QCan I get a transparent PNG?
Yes. Export as PNG without a background and everything around the letters is transparent, so you can drop the logo on a photo, a video or a colored page.
