Pressure sensitive glue for a temporary bond.

Bought it for Little League patches on my Baseball shirts.

Haven't tried it yet, but I do know I was unhappy with the black velcro, ...when there was no patch to be worn some nights.

mick, that stuff will ruin your shirt or require professional cleaning to get off. It's NOT temporary.

Now, why didn't you tell me that before I bought it? ;)

Have you used it or heard about it, Tony?

OC,

You carry all those shirts? There is not just one standard to go by?

Peace

For my high school board we have the option of wearing the grey. If we wear the flag (back) then we must match our partner so I need the no flag just in case. Then I have my flag on the sleeve for NCAA games and have to carry the no flag to those so all officials can match. It's a pain in the butt sometimes (actually most times).

I am thinking about trying carpet tape this year for my flags so I can carry fewer shirts and then just apply the flag when needed.

The other possibility would be to call your partner ahead of time, and arrange which shirt to wear that day.

I've used the carpet tape and it DOESN"T WORK. It's great for volleyball where you have no conceivable reason to sweat, but in basketball it only lasts about one quarter. I'd stick with thread or Velcro (TM).

Rainmaker,

Thanks for the input on the carpet tape.

Trying to arrange ahead of time is a good idea for HS but for my college games between the 3 of us somebody will probably forget or be on a long swing between games and states.
