Help needed my surname on football shirt?

Anyone know where you can get your surname printed on football shirts(preferably man utd) ? I couldnt see any on ebay and my google search only showed me ones for £34.99 & this is for a child so im not keen on paying that much.

    Take it to the superstore at Old Trafford they will do it for you, all football clubs have the facility to do it as do JJB shops. the thing is each club can use any type of font they want and the only way to get the same font as the team use is to go the the club shop.

    scumchester united do sell their shirts online pre printed with team names on for £45 for kids normally if you visit the shop they can put whatever you want on there "imasheep" or "mydadbrainwashedme" or somthing like that I think its usually £1 per letter or somthing and £4 for the numbers.

    hi, yes will give them a go. thanks. and little john my husband has been supporting man united for 30 years ( as his brother beat him up when he was 9 as he wanted to support arsenal and his brother wouldnt let him as he supported arsenal & made him pick another team!).
    I doubt you are a sheep by supporting a team that lives miles from you i expect you then must support your local town team as is obvious from your comments..dont get me started on football as i just want the shirt for my son. I dont get it anyway as hardly any players are from the place that there team represents anyway. And why is it men get all funny over who supports who? Its just a game ! Grrr
  • Try these. My son had his done their a while ago & they were quite reasonably priced.Have seen a number of their branches around too.http://www.streetwisesports.com
    If practice makes perfect, and nobody is perfect....................................

    The sheep this was a joke I forgot the :rotfl: or :p and ;) maybe one of these :D

    I do support my local club well they were local untill they move to horwich a few years ago now I have to travel an extra 10 minutes but I still go to every home game and as many away games that sky leave alone to saturday afternoons as I can.

    Football is a business now well it has been always but now there is silly amounts of money involved the only club that gets local players in Liverpool every liverpool fan wants to play for liverpool they're not interested in any other team and as a club they do pretty well out of it when you look as some of the scousers they have now or have in the past, united have a few. Bolton have a few local lads but not only Nicky hunt makes it in the team. The youth team rarely get a chance to progress in to the first time or reserves whihc is a shame as there have been some decent players in the past. yeah I go watching the reserves and youth games too.

    I hadnt taken much notice of the numbers on the back of shirts untill yesterday (saturday) and thay are all the same so as long as you get premiership numbers your fine thay are all the same type face (optima squashed in slightly incase you wanted to know that), im sure JJB or sports soccer will have those the typeface for names seems to alter slightly in width depending on the club and name on the shirt long names use a narrow typeface short names use a wider one.
