Hi i'm trying to find all the NBA team fonts. Also the fonts in their logos for exemple where could i find the Sacramento Kings font especially the Kings part. If anybody knows any font that a team uses pleas tell me.

Thanks

instead of making a new thread, i thought it would be better for me just to continue this one ... anyway, i'm also looking for the fonts and numbers used by the nba teams on their jerseys .... you see i have just recently been tasked to manage our sports wear company, and a lot of people want to have their custom basketball jerseys use the style of nba teams ... thanks in advance ... :P

There was a great hunt for a New York Knicks font a while back, so I don't think there would be a lot of success for NBA fonts, unfortunately

Don't know the name of it, but perhaps this will help a little

Oh yea, the font San Antonio uses for the Spurs writing is very close to 'Backslash'. It just needs some adjustments and altered latters and it's spot on..

Well this isn't about a NBA team, but I'll put it here.

Does anybody know the numbers' font? I've been looking around but I haven't found anything similiar yet. The pics are shitty and 6, 9 and 0 are missing so I can't use the pics to do
them myself.

Anybody?

Can you use just a regular font and type in numbers?

I'm sorry but I didn't catch what you were trying to say. I'm looking for that font in order to use the numbers for a jersey for Live that I am doing.

Did you try using Fshline to extract existing numbers? If you take any team's practice jersey numbers and extract them, I think they're very similar.

If that was meant for me than I must say that the Nuggets' numbers are the only ones anywhere near mine, but I'd still like to leave them as a backup option.

I'd still be very grateful if anyone gave me a link or a name to the exact font.

Well if you decide to use the Denver numbers in the end, Aachen BT and/or Aardvark Bold is their font's name. Maybe you could cut off some parts of those digits so they look more like the ones you need.

Yes, that was meant for you, sorry. I took a look at what I've got on my PC, the font 'Rockwell' comes pretty close, I think it's a default font too, so you should have it already :wink:
