(x) Numbers on Chiefs rugby jerseys, never seen anything like it

do how

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to work out what font the numbers on the backs of these jerseys are written in but I have never seen anything like it - can anyone out there help me?

Thanks

Sports team jersey typefaces are usually custom jobs. I must say I hadn't seen this one before.

From the FAQ:

And logos of sports teams?
There you have to keep in mind that sports merchandising -- everything from baseball caps to soccer jerseys -- is big business, so the popular sports teams have every reason to make their logo as difficult to imitate as possible. Most of them are custom designed or use heavily customized existing fonts.
