Just get the famoa badge or nothing, doesn't matter which side

Wouldn't bother with your coymfy badge, only need it for fa or county cup games and you can get one to pin on as needed

We advise new referees to consider using Velcro, rather than sewing on badges, as some competitions expect officials to wear the competition's match official badge, County FA matches expect a CFA badge, and for others the FA 3 lions badge is the norm.
Ask for guidance at the course, as local variances apply.
Enjoy the course and your refereeing!

Buy whatever works for you

I tried Velcro, double sided sticky tape and didn't like it. I use safety pins

When you put the velcro on, put the soft side (the loops) on your shirt and the hard one (the hooks) on the badge.

That way, when you wash your top, the hooks won't catch on other things in the wash and cause pulls and rips in them.

In the US, since we wear so many darned different shirts, the shirts typically come with velcro on the chest and the corresponding part to put on the badge, which is a nice solution. Having the velcro cover the entire back of the badge means they almost never come off.
