Name Printing on Jacket

[hollywoodsabre]

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.

You don't need your country code for Nationals, only for international events.

Just get it done by The Fencing Post or Marx Enterprises....they know how to do it.

If www.usfencing.org is ever unavailable, I recommend getting the rulebook from www.fencingofficials.org.

I can do a emb name panel and send it out to you. You just sew it on.

And he does a really good job too. I just got mine in the mail on Friday. Heading to a tailor to get the patch attached this weekend.

(thanks again Tim!!!)

I was also impressed by the quality of the emb name panel. I get mine sewed on by a tailor in local dry clean store for $3 and they got it done really nicely. 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.

Wow! Thanks for all the help. I've got a place in town that I'm going to for this; they do printing for all kinds of sports clothes.

Cheers!

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

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

Mr.

And mad props to YeOldeArmourer for the patch. It's all him.

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 just noticed that the name I have on the back of my jacket is illegal. The letters are about 5cm high. It was done my Marx Enterprises, so I'm sure that it was legal when it was done at the 1997 Summer Nationals. When did the rules change to require bigger letters?

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.
