patches

[johnSandlin]

Ok....need some help from multi-level officials in here.

I am looking for a good reliable adhesive liquid or strong double sided tape to use for my high school patches.

I have a recommendation from another official who uses a 3M double sided industrial tape but I cannot find it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

there's a guy around here who uses name-tag magnets.

Several refs here use velcro.

I sewed a strip of velcro to my shirt and glued the other part to my high school patch. If you use multiple patches that are located in the same area on the shirt, this would work fine.

I used velcro this year, but the velcro tore up the surrounding area of the shirt while in the wash. thus I won't be using the velcro on any of next years shirts.

I have also tried double sided carpet tape from Lowe's or Home Depot and that seemed to work well.

I assume this is from putting the "hooked" half of the velcro on the shirt? Try putting the "fuzzy" part on the shirt and the "hooked" part on the patch.

I use a nail gun while I have the shirt on.

Yeah - I thought about that after the fact and may try it for the spring/summer tourney schedule to see how everything holds up.
