Turn this season into a printed player card

For an American football player, check the helmet, face and jersey number in the crop before filling the back. Use the position and season that belong to that photo. For gifts to several relatives, count recipients before choosing copies; for a whole roster, each player needs a separate approved design.

A team set or copies of one player?

Rookie supports different designs. Bulk repeats one design. The team program gives each participating player copies of their own card; it is not a mixed roster in every pack.

Trusted by hundreds of athletes, parents, and coaches.

A good football card starts with a readable player, not a long list of statistics. A tight crop can lose the helmet or ball, and a dark sideline image can hide the face. Use the sharpest original file and inspect it in the actual layout.

Check before you finish

  • Leave room around the helmet, hands and ball when cropping.
  • Check the jersey number against the typed number.
  • Use passing statistics for a quarterback, rushing/receiving statistics where relevant, or tackles for a defender.
  • Include the season so a later card is easy to distinguish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a professional football photo?

No. A clear original phone photo can work. Review the crop and detail in the preview; blurry or heavily compressed input does not become a guaranteed sharp print.

Which football statistics should I use?

Choose a small set appropriate to the position and confirm the season. You can also use a short dedication instead of statistics if the template supports it.

Can I make cards for the whole team?

Prepare a photo and approved spelling for each player first. Different player designs and repeated copies use different product configurations; confirm the final quantity in the order.
