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

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.
Tonal print
Printing technique for incorporating coloured
elements, patterns etc. into kit.
UEFA considers strong alcoholic beverages to be
drinks which are more than 15% proof (see

ANNEX D: Colour and contrast-related terms
Using a spectrophotometer UEFA may measure the values of the colour, the reflectivity
and the contrast of the various colours used on a kit. 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.
