Eight Year Old Jersey SVG

About this design

By eight, most kids have a favorite number, and this is the year it gets to be the age. The layout follows the classic college sweatshirt: a big Birthday arch in navy, a heavy slab-serif 8 underneath and a bar across the bottom reading Years Old. Two royal blue stars sit at the ends of the bar.

Here the colors flip from the Two Year Old Jersey. The 8 is royal blue in the middle, ringed in white and then varsity red, and the bar is red with white lettering. The two round openings in the 8 stay open, so the shirt fabric shows through them, which keeps the number light and easy to read.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 22 pieces and 14 cut-outs. The arched letters and the two stars are separate from the number and the bar, and the two round centers of the 8 are among the parts to weed. Clear the small spaces first while the sheet is flat. Move the design on transfer tape, or keep iron-on on its carrier, so the arch keeps its curve. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines: deep navy, the backing and outline for every shape
• Varsity red: crimson, the outer ring on the 8 and the bar
• Royal blue: a vivid cobalt, the number and the two stars
• White: crisp white, the inner ring and the words Years Old
• Lettering: deep navy, for the Birthday arch on the open shirt

Which size to cut

At under 5 inches the letters in Years Old close up. For tags or small stickers, use Print Then Cut and the color file.

4. Place the white ring, then the blue 8, then the white Years Old.
5. Add the blue stars and the navy Birthday arch.
6. Press each layer following the directions for your vinyl.

A team party at eight

Eight-year-olds love a uniform. Make a shirt for the birthday child in this design and smaller versions for friends, each with a different color on the number. Hang a big cardstock 8 on the wall behind the cake table, and use the arch on the invitations. Want the 8 in green or purple? Our guide to changing SVG colors shows how to swap any layer.
