Help identifying this font

Can anyone tell me what this font is?

I asked if it could identify the font.

Here's its answer....

"Yes — and this is a fun one, because it’s not a standard retail font but it does belong to a very specific tradition.
Short answer
The “Tech” script on the jersey is a custom athletic script, closely related to the late-1990s / early-2000s collegiate baseball script family. It is not an off-the-shelf font like Brush Script or Pacifico.

What it most closely resembles
If you were trying to replicate it digitally, the closest starting points would be:

Athletic Script / Collegiate Script (custom variants)

Ballpark Script (but heavier and more angular)

Nike / Russell / Rawlings custom wordmark scripts used for NCAA teams

None of these will match perfectly without modification.

Key identifying features (why it’s custom)
Look closely at the letterforms:

Heavy stroke weight — thicker than traditional brush scripts
Angular terminals, not soft brush ends
Forward slant, but controlled (not cursive handwriting)
Distinctive “T” crossbar that sweeps into the next letter
Connected letters, but with athletic rigidity, not calligraphy flow
Flattened curves on the “e” and “c,” common in baseball branding
This puts it squarely in collegiate baseball wordmark design, not typography-for-text.

Why you won’t find an exact font
Most NCAA baseball jerseys use:
In-house athletic department artwork, or
Vendor-designed wordmarks (Nike / Under Armour / Adidas templates), or
Hand-drawn scripts digitized only for that program
They are logo systems, not fonts.

Best practical matches (if you need one)
If you want a usable substitute that’s 95% of the vibe:

Ballpark Script – then:
Thicken strokes
Sharpen terminals
Increase slant slightly

LHF Ballpark Script (or similar retro baseball scripts)
Edit the “T” and tighten letter spacing
Custom redraw in Illustrator
This is honestly how this jersey was made

Bottom line
This jersey uses a custom collegiate baseball script, not a commercially available font.
It belongs to the same visual lineage as late-90s NCAA baseball wordmarks — bold, aggressive, readable at distance, and unmistakably baseball.

If you want, I can:
Identify the number font (that is usually standard), or
Help you rebuild this exact wordmark for a uniform or OOTP project.
Just tell me what you’re aiming for."

Thanks guys, knew you would come through. Didn't like the thought of scrolling through 900 pages of free script fonts to try and match it up!

Based on the team logo and uniform style, here are the details on the fonts used:

Team Identity: Tennessee Tech University (Golden Eagles)

1. The Name ("Tech")
The "Tech" script across the chest is a custom hand-lettered logotype created specifically for the university's athletics department. It is not a standard font you can simply type with.

Closest Alternatives: If you are trying to recreate this look, the style is a "tail script" or "baseball script." Good alternatives to get a very similar vibe include:

Marcelle (this is very close in style, with the distressed look)

Team Spirit

Brush Script (the classic generic version, though less "sporty")

Ballpark Weiner

2. The Number ("32")
The number is a standard athletic block font, commonly referred to as Full Block or Varsity Block.

Specifics: It is a slab-serif font. Notice the angled corners on the inside of the "3" and the "2".

Availability: You can find this standard font under names like "College," "Varsity," or "Octin College." Since this is an Adidas jersey, they may use their proprietary version (often called "Adidas United"), but "Full Block" is the universal industry name for this style.

Summary for Recreation:

Name: Custom Script (Use Marcelle or Team Spirit as a substitute).

Number: Full Block / Varsity.

Colors: Tennessee Tech Purple (#582C83) and Gold (#FFD100).
