sport numbers placement
I'm placing 8" numbers on the back of standard adult t-shirts with no names on the back. How far down should I go from the neckline? 5" maybe?

about 5" from the collar sounds about right, I wouldn't go much lower you risk them being to low at that point.

Re: sport numbers placement Very scary moment. Even though I'm watching Cloverfield while I get this order out. I've never pressed red shirts before. When I pressed the first numbers on the back, the shirt turned very dark where the heat hit it. Five minutes later it looks like it getting back to the normal color.
