Extraordinary: Doria Calcio Players Numbers Done By Hand
When it comes to modern kit preparation, we are so used to seeing plain numbers getting heat-pressed on the shirt. But with the recent release of small-sided team Doria Calcio's third kit, we get to see a more intricate step before the print.
Ezeta's Extraordinary Number Preparation For Doria Calcio's Third Kit
This is something you probably won't see on big clubs' kit due to UEFA regulation. The stunning graphic on the Doria Calcio's third shirt also present on the number so it takes some preparation, to put it lightly.

As seen in the video, while the number and its' graphic is already cut. The staff at Ezeta still need to remove the excess. But instead of using any industrial method, they use their own hands.
Of course, the clip is sped up so the whole process is compressed into a 22 seconds video so we imagine this meticulous process could take much much longer. And this is only for one player and one shirt, imagine doing so for the whole team.
At least, they don't have to do the same for the home and away shirts.
What do you think of Ezeta's hands-on approach to kit preparation for Doria Calcio? Let us know in the comment.

Puma Kits Keep Ripping at the 2026 World Cup
Puma is facing significant criticism at the 2026 World Cup as multiple national team jerseys have easily ripped during matches.
Incidents involving players from Czechia, Morocco, Egypt, and Paraguay have highlighted an ongoing durability issue with the brand's latest kits - every torn shirt in the tournament so far belongs to a Puma-sponsored team.
The Puma 2026 World Cup kits incorporate the latest version of PUMA's ULTRAWEAVE “Thermoadapt” technology, which obviously is not tear-resistant enough.
The recurring wardrobe malfunctions have resulted in terrible PR for the German sportswear manufacturer and even prompted the viral resurgence of Xherdan Shaqiri's infamous quote from Euro 2016, where he joked that he hopes Puma does not produce condoms.
