It demonstrates how to use a reusable symbol and a layered numbering system so that jersey numbers can be updated quickly without rebuilding the artwork.\n\nThe video begins by explaining that the production folder includes an editable Nova font carried over from the original Illustrator mock-up. Because the font remains live and editable, designers can change numbers and names without recreating the type setup from scratch.\n\nUsing the default number 44 as an example, the author shows how to construct a complete system of number assets from 0 through 99. Each number is placed on its own grouped layer, and visibility is controlled by hiding and unhiding these groups to display specific digits or combinations. All numbers are aligned to a consistent center point (for example, coordinates 0,0) so that swapping one number for another does not shift the overall placement on the jersey.\n\nThe video also teaches how to create both dark and light jersey sides efficiently. First, the instructor builds the dark-side symbol and finalizes its structure. Then, they duplicate that symbol to create the light side, adjust the colors, and, when needed, convert the artwork to outlines. By dividing and separating the outlined shapes, the designer can isolate individual digits and tens, making it easier to build and manage every number combination required for production."}
