Premier League Style Custom Trading Cards

Designs built around the Premier League look

The Premier League has set a visual standard that fans recognise instantly: strong background colours, a clear player silhouette, a bold name banner and a stats block that tells the story of a footballer in six numbers. CardStar's football designs capture that energy without being tied to any single club palette, which means you can push the colours toward your team's home kit or go for something bold and personal.

Designs range from sleek modern layouts that echo current Premier League card aesthetics to a gold card style for that premium feel, and an icon style that makes the player photo the centrepiece. You can also use the Create your own option to set a custom background and shape. With 127 designs available, there is plenty to explore before you settle on the one that fits your vision.

Add your player's details

Every card has space for a player photo, a full name, a position, an overall rating and six individual stats. For a Premier League-themed card you might go with Pace, Shooting, Passing, Dribbling, Defending and Physical, exactly as football fans expect to see them. Or you can swap those out entirely and use stats that reflect a real person's game: tackles won, assists this season, miles covered, whatever feels right.

The editor updates the card on screen as you type, so you can see the layout shift in real time. When the name, photo and numbers all look right, you choose your size and order. There is no guesswork about what you will receive because what you see in the preview is exactly what gets printed.

Photo tips for a Premier League finish

The card will look its sharpest when the player photo is clear and well lit. A head-and-shoulders shot or a full-body action pose both work well depending on the design you choose. CardStar removes the background from the photo automatically, so the player sits directly on the card design itself rather than in front of a fence or a living room wall.

Parents adding a photo of a young player can do so through a private link if you are doing a team order. For individual cards, you simply upload the photo yourself during the design process. Phone photos taken in good natural light are perfectly fine: you do not need a professional shoot to get a great result.

Sizes from desk to wall

Choose a size to suit the space. A5 is a desk or gift-box card, A4 and A3 suit bedroom walls and shelves, and A2 or A1 will anchor a games room or a function room at the club. A0 is the clubhouse showpiece. Every size is cut to the card's outline rather than left as a plain rectangle, then delivered worldwide. Prices start from £18.00.

Team orders and squad sets

If you want to make cards for an entire squad, the team orders tool is built for exactly that. You create the card template once, choosing the design, stat headings and layout, then share a link so each player or their parent can add the individual photo and details for their own card. You review everything before anything goes to print.

A Premier League style squad set makes a brilliant end-of-season gift for a youth team, a five-a-side group or a Sunday league side. You could include a manager card at the same time. Because all the cards share the same design, the set looks cohesive when the whole squad lines them up together.

Gift ideas for Premier League fans

A custom card in Premier League style is one of the more original gifts you can give a football supporter. It works for birthdays, Christmas, end-of-season presentations and leaving gifts. Because you control every element, the card can reference the recipient's actual stats, nickname, shirt number or favourite position, things a generic gift simply cannot do.

Pair a larger print with a frame and you have a wall piece that any fan would be proud to display. For younger players, parents can create a card that mirrors the look of the professionals their child admires, which is genuinely exciting to receive at any age.
