Retro cards bring back the bold colours, chunky type and big personalities of football in the seventies, eighties and nineties. This style frames your player in that spirit, perfect for a dad who still talks about the kits of his youth or a young player who loves a throwback shirt. Upload a photo and the editor removes the background, then add a name, a position and six stats. Check the preview and choose a size from A5 (14.8 × 21 cm, 5.8 × 8.3 in) to A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm, 33.1 × 46.8 in). Every card is printed to order and cut to its outline.
Throwback photos
A photo in a retro kit or a classic shirt suits this style perfectly. Old family photos work too, as long as they are sharp enough. Scan a print at a high resolution and upload it. A teenage Sunday league side from 1989, with the orange Mitre ball and the muddy knees, will look wonderful once the background is gone.
Stats from another era
Lean into the nostalgia with stats like sliding tackles, moustache rating, short shorts worn or half time oranges eaten. Real stats from a playing career in the eighties or nineties suit the card just as well, such as the clubs, the league titles or the one famous cup run.
A gift for a parent
Retro cards make a great Father's Day or birthday present for a parent who played in their youth. Find an old team photo, crop it to the player and give them the card they never had. Mums who turned out for a ladies' side in the nineties deserve one just as much.
Retro for kids
Children who love throwback shirts often enjoy a retro card too. It is a fun way to share the football their parents grew up with, and a good talking point when grandad starts describing the great teams he saw.
Picking a size
Choose from A5 (14.8 × 21 cm, 5.8 × 8.3 in) to A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm, 33.1 × 46.8 in). A5 works as a gift on a desk, and A3 (29.7 × 42 cm, 11.7 × 16.5 in) is big enough to hang in a hallway. The A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm, 23.4 × 33.1 in) and A0 sizes are made for a pub, a clubhouse or a dad's shed, where the colours can really punch. Prices start from £20.00.
A night out theme
Retro cards are popular for themed birthdays and stag dos where everyone wears a classic shirt. A card for each guest with throwback stats makes an easy party favour and a funny keepsake.
Questions, answered
Can I use an old photo?
Yes. Scan or photograph the print at good resolution. The editor removes the background, so the old pitch and crowd disappear.
What is the difference between retro and vintage?
Retro leans into the bold colours and big type of the seventies to nineties, while vintage has an older, more aged look.
Can the stats be jokes?
Yes. All six stats are free text, so mix real career figures with jokes.
Is this good for Father's Day?
Yes. It is a popular choice for dads, especially with an old team photo.
