Where do you sew a nametape in a fully reversible rugby shirt?

[roisin]

The shirt is red and black, and the nametapes are white.

Any ideas?

[JackieNo]

An armpit?

Down at the waist... in ds' rugby shirts the washing labels are down on the waist hem at one side.... I generally sew the name tag there

[PestoMonster]

Oh God I didn't even think of this. I've already sewn DD1's label in the neck of hers in the usual place already

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

[nell12]

Will it be covered by the collar anyway Pesto?

[Milliways]

DS has one of these and I too put it in the neck. He didn't mind - so did most of the other mums!

I had more trouble labelling the Rugby socks!

[PestoMonster]

Oh yes, Nell, I s'pose it would. Duh!!!!!!!!!

[islandofsodor]

We are told to label all PE kit on the outside.

[RustyBear]

Yes, if you sew it at the base of the collar, it's hidden when the collar's turned down. It doesn't really matter anyway, no-one's really going to worry what a rugby shirt looks like.

[roisin]

I could follow all the mn advice and sew it in the neck, at the base of the collar, an armpit, and at the waist!

No consensus for once on here

[LadyMuck]

base of collar. The reversibility is just for ease of sorting out teams in the school (reds v blacks) without resorting to bibs isn't it? So the school would usually play in its proper colcour for matches v other schools?
As for Rugby socks I go for the sole of the foot (anywhere else is too stretchy)

[RustyBear]

With socks, I used to fold the name tape in half & sew the open end to the ribbed top - so it's under the turnover.

[JackieNo]

I'm dreadful at getting round to this at all - you all sound very professional

It takes me ages to sew on a single nametape, but his new uniform all seems to be very low heat iron, so I can't use the iron-on ones that I have

I think sew-on labels look much nicer/neater, it's just that I sew very slowly!

[SqueakyPop]

We have to have giant name tapes, in house colours, that we sew on the outside of the shirt - so one on each side.

[SqueakyPop]

My boys' reversible shirts are just for games lessons. The actual matches with other schools have hooped shirts, provided by the school.

[LIZS]

Ours default to red mostly so I put it that side.

[pagwatch]

I write my sons names on his in perm marker - they are only for training as they get match shirts.

[roisin]

Rustybear is the winner: base of the collar is hidden whichever way round it is worn.

Thanks all

[nappyaddict]

at my school we had places where they had to be. on rugby shirts it was base of neck under the collar i think.

[Miaou]

am intrigued - where is the washing label?

[Flightlite]

Does it have any pockets? I'd put it in there - that seems to be where the labels are on ds's dungas.
