How to Make Your Own Rugby Polo
Nothing gives you the look of a strapping young rugby lad like a striped-and-collared rugby polo. A custom-made or store-bought rugby polo can cost you a pretty penny. With a basic collared polo shirt and a couple of household tools, you can personalize your own polo without draining all the money out of your wallet, and still look ready to jump into the scrum of a real rugby union game.
Instructions
-
-
1
Place the ironing board inside your polo so only the front side of your polo is on top of the board.
-
2
Iron small logo patch onto the left chest of your polo shirt, an inch diagonally below the shirt collar. Turn the iron off and let the patch cool.

-
3
Keeping the ironing board inside your polo shirt, flip the polo over so the back of it is now on top of the ironing board.
-
4
Turn the iron back on and iron letters across the top of the back of the polo, and iron the number--or numbers--onto the middle back of the polo. Let the patches cool before wearing.

Tips & Warnings
A rugby polo (worn by players in the Rugby Union) and a rugby jersey (worn by players in the Rugby League) are not the same thing.
Turn your iron off when it is not in use.
If you plan to recreate a real team's rugby polo, do not sell that apparel without consent from that team.
