Five Year Old Jersey SVG

A green and gold 5th birthday

Five is the age of the first real team, the first school year and a lot of very loud cheering. This design suits it with old-school campus colors. A chunky Birthday arch crowns the top in navy, and below it a rounded kelly green 5 is wrapped in a white ring and a gold one. Under the number a green bar reads Years Old in white, with a red star at either end.

The round, friendly numeral is softer than the slab numbers on some of the other jerseys, which makes it a nice fit for a kindergartner. The green and gold are a break from the usual red and blue, and they look sharp on a white, cream or gray shirt.

Color layers

• Base and lines in deep navy, the backing behind every part
• Varsity red in crimson, for the two stars
• Varsity gold in warm mustard, for the outer ring on the 5
• Kelly green in a fresh grass green, for the number and the bar
• White in bright white, for the inner ring and Years Old
• Lettering in deep navy, for the arched word Birthday

Pieces and weeding

There are 22 pieces and 13 cut-outs in the solid version. Many of the pieces are single letters, and the cut-outs are the letter centers, the inside of the number rings and the gaps between them. Transfer tape keeps the arch in its curve. If you are cutting iron-on, simply leave the letters on the carrier sheet. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

Size guide

Below 4.5 inches the centers in Years Old start to merge. Use Print Then Cut for tags, labels and stickers that small.

Building the layered shirt

1. Mirror each color and cut the vinyl with the shiny carrier side down.
2. Press the navy base on the shirt.
3. Add the gold ring and the green bar.
4. Lay the white ring and then the green number inside it.
5. Add the white Years Old, the red stars and finally the navy Birthday arch.
6. Press each layer as your vinyl maker recommends.

Short on time? A single color of iron-on from the solid file keeps every shape, just without the stacked rings.

For a kindergarten crowd

• Matching shirts for a sibling who also turned five, in different colors
• A big arch on the party backdrop
• Little stickers for the goody bags
• An apron for the helper serving cake, kept as fabric, never on the food

You can change the green to the birthday child’s favorite color with the editor; our guide to changing SVG colors shows how.
