Just curious, why no names on the rowing tops?

Post by mmayzak » November 15th, 2015, 1:20 pm

I was just at an indoor race this Saturday... I noticed some of the schools had logos on the FRONT of their tops but nothing on the back, no name no number, nothing?

Why is that?

Tradition. My college rowing days were in the 40s and the standard rowing shirt had the University letters on the front and nothing on the back. Come to think of it, a letter on the back of the stroke oar of an 8 might have been distracting to the rower in the 7 seat and so on up to the bow. What would numbers be for?
