Why don't most teams have last names on their shirts?

[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 203141"] I personally think that on rugby shirts, teams are better off without names. The number in rugby means much more - for example number 6 in football could be anyone, in rugby it's a blindside flanker (openside if you're a springbok). I like the way that all 15 players wear the same kit, with the number denoting what their job in the game is going to be. Names make it more personalised, which I think loses something from the feeling that you've got 15 guys numbered from 1-15 all part of a team. [/QUOTE]
