Four Year Old Jersey SVG

About this design

For the four-year-old who dribbles everything in the house, here is a tank-top jersey drawn from the back. The body is a bright royal blue with a deep scoop neck and wide armholes, both edged in white. A white band runs across the bottom, the word Birthday arches across the upper back in condensed white capitals, and a tall, narrow 4 stands below it.

The number is white with two rings: varsity red first and then deep navy. The navy ring sits right against the blue jersey, so the 4 reads as a block of white with a red stitch line, just like twill numbers on a game uniform.

The tall shape suits a shirt front or back. It is a 4th birthday shirt that does not need a single extra word.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 22 pieces and 8 cut-outs. The tank body, the trim, the hem band, the letters of Birthday and the number layers all come apart, so carry the cut on transfer tape or the iron-on carrier. The narrow gap between the trim and the jersey body is the part to weed slowly. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

The four color layers

• Base and lines, deep navy: the outline around the jersey and the outer ring on the 4
• Varsity red, a strong crimson: the inner ring on the 4
• Royal blue, a vivid cobalt: the jersey body
• White, bright white: the neck and armhole trim, the hem band, Birthday and the number

Recommended widths

Under 4.5 inches the white trim gets too thin to weed. Print it and use Print Then Cut for labels and party tags.

Cutting and pressing tips

• Mirror every mat for iron-on, and cut it shiny side down.
• Weed the trim first, as it is the narrowest part.
• Press the navy base, then the blue body, then the red ring, then all the white.
• Read your vinyl’s instructions for each layer; every brand differs.

Want it quicker? Cut the solid file in navy or black, and the jersey outline, trim and number will still show clearly on a white shirt.

Ideas for a basketball party

• Shirts for every guest, each with their own number
• A big jersey on the gift table, cut from cardstock
• Thank-you cards with a small printed jersey on the front
• A pennant or door sign with the birthday child’s age

To give the jersey the party’s own colors, use the editor; our guide to changing SVG colors explains how.
