How to Customize Rugby Polos

The rugby polo is typically a solid color or striped. The colors change to represent the school or team affiliation and the polo is customized by an embroidery specialist. Although extravagant design options are possible, the rugby polo represents a classic design that relies on simplicity. The simple striped or solid color sequence is maintained on the rugby polo with subtle customizations being implemented to make the shirt unique. Customizations are used to represent a specific school, brand or number.

Instructions

    • 1

      Add a unique number to the back and front of each polo. The number is ideal for tracking player statistics and it gives the polo a custom appeal for wear off the field.

    • 2

      Sew a patch to one arm of the polo. Choose a patch that either represents a cause like cancer awareness or that represents your specific team mascot and insignia.

    • 3

      Sew a patch to the front breast of the polo for a custom look. Again, choose to represent a cause or use the school insignia. Some polo shirts are also sold with the brand logo on the front breast.

    • 4

      Skip the traditional solid or striped color sequence and add a checkered pattern or diagonal stripe to retain the classic look with a unique design.

    • 5

      Sew elastic bands into the sleeves and waist of the shirt. The bands hold the material tight against your body and prevent opposing players' fingers from catching in the material.
