Adding numbers to back of rugby shirts

[VictorC]

Just wondering do people know if its possible to add numbers to back of rugby shirts? Would anyone do this or has anyone done it.? I think it looks more authentic and a pet peeve of mine is that no rugby shirts you buy in the shops or anywhere seem to have numbers on the back!

You could add letters instead; wasn't it Leicester who wore letters?

not sure about that one? But i dont think i would like letters on mine. Definately a number, but just a case of what number and what size? I know i want a white number. I just need to know where i can get it done, if i can get it done that is.?

Any place that does custom jerseys (for youth sports teams, etc.) should have a wide range of numbers available that they could sew onto your shirt. Whether they'd have a style you like is another question.

RL Rugby has Rugby shirts with numbers on the back. I believe you can customize them too.

You can use:

Transfers which are ironed on, usually only last a few washes before they start cracking then coming off.

or

Sewn on numbers, either directly onto the shirt, or onto a square or diamond shaped background patch which makes it a lot quicker.

Hackett have some rugby shirts with numbers already on them.


When I was at school we would get our shirts ordered from Peveril with the number already attached.

Years ago...

They have numbers for a long time now...

I used to find that idiotic ...Most spectators and referees didn't have a clue...

Go and buy real rugby shirts and they will add the number at the back when you buy them...

There are a lot of websites offering clubs and international rugby shirts.

Just bought for my 1 year old a shirt from Eden Park ....

That is a bit expensive but it is rugby chic...

The director is a former rugby international ,the quality is very good ,the design beautiful and still rugby inspired...

Have your local dry cleaner sew them on, though (I hate dry cleaners for alterations - any alterations - but sewing on a patch is something even the worst seamstress can handle). The glue that sticks to the cloth is irritating IMO.

Yes i think i want a sewn on one. I dont like the look of numbers on a patch though.
I emailed peveril but i didnt really understand the reply.

When it comes to numbers, has anyone any idea how many inches long is a good size for a number? Also are 2 numbers better than 1?

Don't know about number height, but you dont want a number higher than 15

I wouldn't go with 1-3 either, unless you're of a stocky build.
