Soccer Jersey With a Blank Number Panel Coloring Page

This is a template as much as a coloring page. A short sleeved soccer shirt is shown flat from the back, with a collar at the top, a seam running across each shoulder, and a cuff band at the end of each sleeve. The body of it is completely plain except for one large rectangle in the middle of the back, drawn with a clean border and left entirely empty. That rectangle is where a squad number goes, and above or below it there is room to letter in a surname. A child can design an entire strip on this sheet: stripes across the chest, hoops, a diagonal sash, a single flat color with contrasting sleeves, or halves split down the middle. Because the outlines are simple and the areas are large, any of those patterns can be ruled in with a pencil first and then filled. Print one per child at the start of a season and the set makes a good display. Markers work well here since there is no fine detail to lose.
