Removing Patches

Same in California (might vary by association). It's great being able to use the same uniforms for youth and high school football.

Do you have anything on your baseball uniforms? My association wants us to have our shirts and jackets embroidered with their initials.

Nothing. Not a thing.

Many of us wear numbers, but those are meaningless (except to the wearer).

And if I should remove them, what's the best way? They're stitched on, so will a seam-ripper ruin the sleeve?

Just curious to gather your feedback, if you've replaced stitched-on patches before or just said to heck with it and bought new shirts.

What did you do with your long sleeve shirts, I don't think you'll need them in AZ.

I had one long-sleeved shirt (lined) that came in handy back in Illinois. I don't expect to ever need it here, no. Then again, I don't intend to be here forever.

And if anything ever comes up in the off-season (like they had some high school all-star type games between US teams and Mexican teams as part of the Super Bowl run-up), it might come in handy. It can get nippy here in the winter. Or freezing rain like we got today.

I've heard that MI was getting rid of the patches before and it never happened. I sewed black and white velcro stripes to my shirt and just put new velcro on the patch each year. For Baseball I use a magnet and have never had a problem.
