| Name Printing on Jacket
Hey all! I'm a newcomer to the forums and to Nationals, and I need to get my name printed on my jacket or knickers. All I know about specifications is that the type has to be blue, and I need last name and country code. What size/font type do I need? I'd check usfa.org, but it appears to be down.
Thanks for your help, and I'll see you at Nationals!
Cheers.  |

I recommend you get one of those, they arrived my house within a week. Or you can get it done at nationals(do it the day before you fence just in case), there are various vendors will do this for you; they will do it right and you dont have to worry about a thing. | |

| Be careful if you have Leon Paul gear; their fabrics have proven difficult for other vendors to print well. | |

| We will be printing names at the NATs
If it is a leon Paul jacket (or any other make) bring it to the stand at the nationals as we will be able to mark jackets. Barry | |

| I assume from your age and classifcation that you're doing division 2 or 3.
In which case I might see (or fence) you there. | |

I think a panel would look funny on my jacket (it's an Ulhmann FIE with a stretch panel on the back,) so I'm just going to have my name (legally) printed on my knickers.

| You are right, the rules only had a maximum at that time. I believe it was '98 that they got the minimum, but I am not sure of that. I do know it was before 2000. Even after that you would see names on Jackets that were too small.
