Two Year Old Jersey SVG

About this design

Turning two deserves a proper team look. This 2nd birthday shirt is set out like the chest of a college sweatshirt: Birthday sweeps over the top in a chunky arch, a big slab-serif 2 fills the middle and a rounded bar underneath spells out Years Old. A small gold star sits at each end of the bar.

The number carries two rings, white and then royal blue, around a varsity red center. That stacked outline is what gives athletic lettering its stitched, layered look, and here it makes the 2 the first thing anyone notices across a playground.

There is no shirt or patch shape behind the words, so the design sits straight on the fabric. That keeps it light on a toddler tee and easy to place on the front, the back or even a small tote for party favors.

Pieces and weeding

Expect 22 pieces and 12 cut-outs in the solid file. The arched letters of Birthday and the two stars stand apart from the rest, so pick the design up with transfer tape, or leave iron-on on its clear carrier, to keep the spacing. Weed the small inside spaces first, while the sheet is still flat. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines: deep navy, the backing that edges every shape
• Varsity red: a bold crimson for the center of the 2
• Varsity gold: warm golden yellow for the two stars
• Royal blue: a bright cobalt for the outer ring and the bar
• White: crisp white for the inner ring and the words Years Old
• Lettering: deep navy for Birthday, which sits right on the shirt

Size guide

At less than 4.5 inches the letter centers in Years Old start to close up. For stickers or tags that small, print it and use Print Then Cut.

Layering it in iron-on

Mirror each mat and place the vinyl with its shiny side down. Press the navy base first so the rest has a guide, then the royal blue ring and bar, the white ring, the red number, the gold stars and finally the navy word Birthday. Your vinyl’s own instructions cover the heat and timing for each layer.

If the two-year-old is impatient, the solid version cut from one color is the five-minute option, and the arch and number still look sporty.
