Getting Started
Welcome to the World of Uni-Forms by Tudor Games!
Please read the Application Instructions before using Uni-Forms. They
will guide you in this fun and rewarding process and help you grow your
skills in suiting up your players. OK, let’s put your Uni-Forms on!
•Gather your tools
There some wooden tools included in this pack. Use them to remove
the individually pre-cut Film Patterns from the Film Sheets. You will
POSITION, SET, and FLATTEN the Film Patterns onto the included
molded figures. You may wish to use a pair of tweezers to handle the
Uni-Forms Film, but avoid using any sharp tools that could damage
or puncture the Film. For POSITIONING, SETTING, and
FLATTENING Film Patterns, toothpicks and craft sticks work well.
•Remove flashing and wash figures well
Flashing is material left over from the molding process. You may see
flashing at the “parting line” which is a faint line where the mold that
makes the figures parts in two – see Image 1. Make sure to check the
top of the shoulder for flashing. Any flashing will be minimal and can
be removed with a hobby knife or sharp tool. Use hot water with
dishwashing soap for cleaning. Your figures should be smooth and
completely clean so the Uni-Forms Film can be applied more easily.
•Review the layout of the Uni-Forms Film Sheets
Before you begin, match the pictured figure type on the Uni-Forms
Film Sheet to the correct figure. There are 5 Sheets, labeled A through
E. Each Film Sheet outfits two figures, except the LINEMAN (Sheet
D) which outfits three figures. There are nine Film Patterns to apply
for each figure. Film Patterns on each Film Sheet are numbered 1-9.
For best results, apply the Films in order, 1 through 9.
•Locate the parting lines and waistlines
Finding and using these lines is key to applying Uni-Forms correctly.
If you’re having trouble locating the parting lines, run a pencil down
the outside of the figure’s legs to make the line visible. Also note the
figure’s waistline. The intersection of these two lines on the side of
each figure is the important “anchor point” (these points are circled
below) for applying the first Film Pattern.
Image 1: Anchor Points
•POSITION, SET, and FLATTEN
Uni-Forms Film uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive, so you can
POSITION it without the Film being SET. After POSITIONING the
Film, you SET it by pushing the Film down on the figure with your
finger or a tool. We recommend SETTING the Film in small areas,
and then FLATTENING the Film as you go.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Please read each section completely before you POSITION, SET, and
FLATTEN a Film Pattern. While the pictures below are of the All-
Purpose Figure, the same process is used for the Backer, Sprinter,
Runner, and Lineman figures. We recommend working with one figure
at a time to get an overview of the process.
TIP: Start with the BACKER figure (Sheet A) and apply each Film
Pattern numbered 1-9 in order, as described, to the BACKER figure.
Film 1: Pants Back
1. Locate and remove the Film Pattern labeled 1 from the Uni-Forms
Film Sheet. This is the Pants Back Film. IMPORTANT: For every
figure you create, the Pants Back Film is the first one to apply.
POSITION and SET it carefully since the other Films fit into it.
POSITIONING and SETTING this first Film Pattern properly is
key to suiting up your players.
2. Find the anchor point formed by the intersection of the parting
line on the figure’s right leg and the figure’s visible waistline. The
leg stripe on the Film Pattern’s edge should line up along the
parting line running down the figure’s right leg. The top belt-edge
of the Film Pattern should also align with the figure’s waistline. If
the Film edges don’t line up with the parting lines, you may be
using the incorrect Uni-Forms Film Pattern for the figure you are
working on. Take the time to POSITION it as closely as possible.
Refer to Images 1, 2, and 3 on this page to guide you.
Image 2: Locating the Parting Line
3. SET only the leg stripe portion of the Film Pattern to the figure’s
right leg along the parting line. Do this by using your flattening
tool only in that area, gently pressing down on the leg stripe area
of the Film along the parting line. Your goal in this step is to SET
the Film Pattern’s edge to the right leg, while also making sure the
top of the pants is lined up along the waistline. It should look like
Image 3 when the edge is SET.
4. Now, gently wrap the Film Pattern around the waistline of the
figure until it reaches the anchor point on the left leg. Find the
second Anchor Point at the intersection of the parting line on the

IMPORTANT: Uni-Forms are applied in the same way
for all figures. First, POSTION the Film, then SET the
Film, then FLATTEN the remaining Film evenly over
the surface of the figure. Read the Step-by-Step
Instructions to learn how to put on your Uni-Forms.

figure’s left leg and the figure’s visible waistline. POSITION the
edge of the Film along the parting line that runs down the figure’s
left leg.
5. Using your flattening tool, SET only the leg stripe edge of the Film
to the figure’s left leg along the parting line. Now, both leg stripe
edges are SET to the figure, while the rest of the Film hangs down
below the waist.
6. Using your flattening tool, now SET the waistline to the figure.
There may be some excess Film that bunches in this area, but
don’t be concerned, it will be partially covered by the Uni-Forms
jersey when applied later.
7. At this point, there should be three Film “flaps” on the pants that
are UNSET: two leg flaps and a central groin flap. The leg flaps
will be SET first, so push the groin flap up and out of your way for
now.
8. Gently SET the leg flaps to the backs of the figure’s legs with your
flattening tool. Start at the leg stripe and work your way around
toward the inside back of each leg, FLATTENING as you go. Do
small sections at a time to ensure the Film is applied smoothly.
9. Now pull the groin flap up between the legs and toward the front.
The Film can stretch slightly and can fill any gaps in the Film
between the legs. Now SET and FLATTEN the rest of the Film
between the legs.
10. To finish the back of the pants, press your finger against the Film
to SET it completely and FLATTEN out any wrinkles. Don’t be
concerned if small wrinkles appear when applying your Uni-
Forms. In some spots, wrinkles may be unavoidable and can
actually add to the realism of the figure. Real uniforms fold and
wrinkle too!
Film 2: Pants Front, Right Side
1. Locate and remove Film 2 from the Uni-Forms Film Sheet.
2. POSITION the edge of the Film to be applied with the right leg
stripe edge of Film 1 that you just applied. The two Film edges
should fit together along that parting line. If you are having
trouble aligning the edges, you may be trying to apply the Film to
the wrong leg, using the wrong edge, or you’re using a Film
Pattern from the wrong Film Sheet.
3. SET only the edge of the Film to the figure’s right leg along the
parting line. Be sure to SET the Film’s edge well by pressing with
your flattening tool. The two Films should fit together along the
parting line with no major overlaps or gaps.
4. Gently stretch the Film over the right leg and adhere on the inside
of the leg. As you stretch the Film over the leg, you should see the
figure’s padding details start to show through. Be gentle while
stretching the Film to avoid rips. Don’t worry too much about the
accuracy of the front belt line, it will be covered by the Uni-Forms
Jersey Front when applied later.
5. To finish the Pants Front, Right Side Film Pattern, press your
finger against the Film to SET and FLATTEN it completely. You
can use your flattening tool or a fingernail to bring out more of the
molded details of the leg padding underneath.
Film 3: Pants Front, Left Side
1. Locate and remove Film 3 from the Uni-Forms Film Sheet.
2. POSITION the edge of the Film along the left leg stripe edge of
Film 1. The two Film edges should fit together along the parting
line.
3. As before, SET ONLY the edge of the Film to the figure’s left leg
along the parting line. Be sure to SET the Film well by pressing
with your flattening tool.
4. Gently stretch the Film over the left leg and SET and FLATTEN it
on the inside of the leg. Be gentle while stretching the Film to
avoid tearing or puncturing the Film.
5. To finish the front left section of the pants, press your finger
against the Film to SET and FLATTEN it completely. You can use
your flattening tool or your fingernails to bring out more of the
molded details of the leg padding underneath.

TIP: Pressure-sensitive Uni-Forms film reacts to pressure
by activating its adhesive layer when SETTING or
FLATTENING Films to figures. If you SET one area and
then SET another without first FLATTENING the area
between them, wrinkles will appear. Always SET an area
first, then FLATTEN the remaining area toward the edge.

Application Instructions
Film 4: Right Sock
1. Locate and remove Film 4 from the Uni-Forms Film Sheet. The
sock Films are numbered 4 and 5 and are placed on or just below
the knee. The Sock should cover over and “clean up” the bottom
of the pants leg.
2. Center the Film behind the figure’s right knee. If the Film has an
indentation along the top edge, that will fit into the crook behind
the knee. Ensure that you’re applying the Film right-side-up by
referring to the arrows printed on the Uni-Forms Film Sheet.
3. SET the center of Film 4 to the back of the figure’s right leg, as
shown in Image 8. If done correctly, you will have two equal sized
flaps on either side of the leg.
4. Grab the flap closest to the center of the figure and gently stretch
it through the legs and SET and FLATTEN it to the front of the
right leg.
5. Grab the outer flap, gently stretch it around the right leg, and SET
and FLATTEN it over the previous flap on the front of the leg.
6. Note that slightly stretching the film has the effect of
FLATTENING the Film Sheet, but you should still press on it to
activate the adhesive.
Film 5: Left Sock
1. Locate and remove Film 5 from the Uni-Forms Film Sheet.
2. Center the Film behind the figure’s left knee. If the Sock Film has
an indentation along the top edge, fit that tightly into the crook
behind the knee.
3. As before, SET the center of the Film Pattern to the back of the
figure’s left leg. If done correctly, you will have two equal sized
flaps on either side of the leg.
4. Grab the flap closest to the center of the figure and gently stretch
it through the legs and SET and FLATTEN it to the front of the left
leg.
5. Grab the outer flap, gently stretch it around the left leg, and SET
and FLATTEN it over the previous flap on the front of the leg.
Film 6: Jersey Back
1. Locate and remove Film 6 from the Uni-Forms Film Sheet.
2. Center the Film behind the figure’s neck. The Film is cut out along
the top edge to fit around the figure’s neck, but you may need to
lift one shoulder flap up to POSITION it.
3. SET the Film to the figure around the neckline, then straight down
the figure’s back along the spine. If done correctly, the bottom of
the Film should meet or just barely overlap with the belt line of
the pants. Keep FLATTENING out from the spine in all directions,
but do not POSITION or SET the flaps yet.
4. Now, gently stretch the two top flaps (the two upper flaps next to
the ears) over the figure’s shoulders and SET them to the
shoulders and chest in front with your flattening tool. These two
flaps will be covered up by the Jersey Front Film Pattern in the
next step, so simply SET and FLATTEN them in place.
5. DO NOT SET the lower shoulder stripe flaps until AFTER
applying the next Film, Film 7. Note that all Uni-Forms Film
Patterns have shoulder stripe flaps except for LINEMAN patterns.
Film 7: Jersey Front
1. Locate and remove Film 7 from the Uni-Forms Film Sheet.
2. Center the Film in front and under the figure’s neck. The Film has
a cut-out along the top edge that will fit snugly around the figure’s
neck.
3. SET the Film to the figure with your flattening tool around the
neckline, then FLATTEN straight down the front of the figure’s
jersey. If done correctly, the bottom of the Film should meet or
just barely overlap with the belt line of the pants. See Image 12.

4. SET the Jersey Front starting at the center of the jersey and work
outwards from both sides and around the torso. Remember to
leave the shoulder stripe flaps UNSET until the next step.
5. Gently stretch the shoulder stripe flaps that were left UNSET from
the last step around the sides of the shoulder pads and SET and
FLATTEN them in front.
6. To finish the jersey, press your finger against the Film to adhere
it completely and iron out the wrinkles as best you can. Remember
that small wrinkles will only add to the realism of your figures.
Film 8: Helmet Top
1. Locate and remove Film 8 from the Uni-Forms Film Sheet.
2. Center and SET the Film to the back of the figure’s neck on center
where the helmet meets the jersey using your flattening tool.
Ensure that you’re applying the Film right-side-up by referring to
the arrow printed on the Uni-Forms Film Sheet.
3. Gently stretch the Film up over the top of the figure’s head and
adhere it to the forehead.
4. Adhere the rest of the helmet to the figure’s head using your
fingers and your flattening tool. If you are having trouble keeping
the Film stuck down to the figure, use a handheld blow drier to
heat up the helmet area. You can also attempt to roll out any
wrinkles that form by pressing and rolling the helmet around on
a hard surface. When doing so, try to avoid sliding the top of the
figure’s head over the hard surface. This will prevent the
scratching of the Film surface.
Film 9: Helmet Sides
1. Locate and remove the Film labeled 9 from the Uni-Forms Film
Sheet. This Film will make up the front and sides of the helmet.
2. Center and POSITION the Film on the figure’s forehead as shown
in Image 14. This Film has a white rectangle in the center that
should be aligned with the middle of the figure’s face. The bottom
edge of the Film should align to the bottom helmet edge just above
the figure’s face.
3. SET the bottom edge of Film 8 starting at the center of the
forehead and FLATTEN as you work outward from both sides
around the head and down to the neck. Be sure to line up the
helmet stripe on Film 9 with the stripe on Film 8 (if the uniform
design contains a helmet stripe).
4. SET and FLATTEN the rest of the helmet to the figure’s head
using your fingers or your flattening tool. Getting the flat Uni-
Forms Film to adhere to the round head of the figure can be a little
tricky, but keep at it! Use your fingers to smooth out the Film
around the top of the head, and use your flattening tool to SET it.
If you are having trouble keeping the Film stuck to the figure, use
a handheld blow dryer to heat up the area. The heat will help the
Film conform to the figure by activating the adhesive.
Finishing Up
1. Apply jersey numbers to your completed players. For best
results, POSITION the number Films and use your flattening tool
to SET and FLATTEN them onto the figure. If desired, trim the
numbers with a sharp scissors or hobby knife for a better fit.
a. Back jersey numbers are largest, found on Sheets A & B;
b. Front jersey numbers are smaller, found on Sheets B & C;
c. TV Numbers for the shoulder pads and/or helmets are
smallest and can be found on Sheet E, if a team uses them.
2. Optional: Use a household blow dryer or heat gun to heat up the
completed player’s Uni-Forms. After warming the Films up, press
down on any areas that need help to activate the adhesive.
3. Optional: Consider sealing your figure with Tudor Games Brush-
on Sealers. Using a paintbrush, paint a thick layer of sealer over
the entire figure and let dry. Apply another layer of sealer if
necessary. The sealer dries clear and forms a protective shield
around your figure. Our Gloss Finish sealer (great for shiny
helmets) and our Matte Finish sealer (perfect for jerseys and
pants) are available on our website.
4. Uni-Forms can be removed to save a figure, but removing them
will likely damage the Film Patterns and prevent them from being
used again.
5. If you don’t see the Uni-Forms for a certain team or era, please let
us know. We’ll add it to our product line as soon as possible!
