Embossing A method of adding structure to the surface of a fabric using pressure and/or heat, generally resulting in a combination of raised and flat areas. Fabrics are engraved (pattern applied) with the use of heated rollers under pressure to produce a raised design on the fabric surface. Normally, the flat part of the design would look shiny and have a glazed appearance. The technical term is calendaring, which means the application of heat using rollers and pressure. Jacquard weave A weaving method which incorporates a specific pattern, intrinsic to its formation, and created by integrating different yarns and/or structures. The term jacquard actually refers to a type of knitting machine. This device individually controls needles and small groups of needles on the machines that allows complex and highly patterned knits to be created. A pattern can be repeated every centimetre or more, as often as desired, depending on the complexity of the machine.

This method helps to ensure better legibility of the numbers against the background colours and to avoid reflectivity of colours, and also provides an objective means of decision-making. 1. Spectrophotometer An instrument reflectance. that measures the spectral 2. Measurement method The measurements are to be recorded using a spherical spectrophotometer with an aperture of 6.6 mm and a measurement area of 4mm on a white-point of D65 and Standard Observers Angle of 10°. All sample measurements are an average of three readings, 0°, 90° and 45°. A spectrally neutral 18% Reflectance Grey Card must be placed under the single layer of fabric to be measured. 3. Delta E Delta E is a formula to calculate the difference between a pair of measured colour samples. The Delta E CMC 2:1 equation is used by UEFA to determine the colours of decorative elements. 4. Delta L Delta L is a formula used to calculate the difference in light between a pair of measured colour samples. UEFA may use it to determine the contrast of colour. 5. Number-zone colours In order to be approved, the contrast between shirt colours in the number zone must be less than or equal to a Delta L of 25. Colour combinations with a Delta L value greater than 25 are considered as contrast colours and require a neutral patch on the back of the shirt. 6. Contrast to player numbers In order to be approved, a player number must contrast with its background colour(s) in the number zone. A number must contrast by a Delta L value equal to or higher than 30. 7. Decorative elements In order to be approved, a decorative element as defined in Article 12 has to differ from the shirt colour(s) by a Delta E CMC 2:1 value of up to 10 maximum. The background colour will be measured before the decorative element. 57 57 8. 58 58 Reflective effect No kit item (including player numbers) must be too reflective. In order to be approved, the spectral gain of a material used must be less than 0.009 (representing as “spectral Gain x 100’ being lower than 0.9). Spectral gain is defined as the average positive difference of the specular-excluded subtracted from the specular-including readings, within the range of 400 to 700 nanometers at 10 nanometer intervals.
