can someone help me identify a font please. I have been asked to correct a spelling mistake on a Czech Republic Football shirt. It was spelt with an I and should be a Y. I can remove the 'I' OK and can match the colour but i am having difficulty matching the font.

Thank you loads

Hi Mumzie

Thanks for your quick response... I have tried 'what the font but didn't have any luck there.

I have tried re-drawing it but i'm not happy with it. It is driving my mad 'cos its only one letter I need.

Thanks again

Can you upload a picture?

 

[mumzie]

Have you posted your question to the actual forum on whatthefont? or just tried their auto matching?
I've found that by posting it on the forum, I usually get an almost immediate, and correct, response.

thats part of my problem, I can't really get a good enough picture.

I haven't sent a picture through this site before but i'll give it a go.

I can't find the attach files button

Check out this link. Fonts on football jerseys - Linotype Font Feature

Look at the first Jersey (Paraguay). Your font looks like a version of Russell Square. The link indicates that a lot of times the teams will alter a known font. So you may have to start with Russel and change it up some.

Hello Joe

I don't think thats the right font. While looking for some pictures of Czech football, they seem to have a couple of different styles. Did you look at the last picture that I sent through???

Thanks anyway, I'm very grateful for your help.

Thank you for the help.

Just to let you know that I have done the shirt now. I couldn't find the font. I scanned in the image from the football shirt that I had and drew around parts of the other letters to make a Y ...... I used the tail of the J and part of the O and the top of the V...... It took me ages

Thanks again
