What is an SVG file?

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a vector file format. Unlike pixel-based raster files like PNG or JPG,  SVGs can be expanded or reduced down to any size without a loss of quality. This is important when a large logo is placed on the front of your jersey, for example. A JPG or PNG logo, when enlarged, might not look great on your kit but a SVG logo will look crisp and clean.

 

Where can I find an SVG version of my logo?

Ask your sponsor to send you an SVG version of their logo. Most companies have a vector version of their logo and there’s a good chance they’ll have an SVG version or they can have someone convert the logo to SVG. Know a graphic designer? Ask if they can convert the logo. Remember, it has to have the .svg extension. We do not accept .ai or .eps files.
