My name is very important to me. I'm representing the Wade name. I've got the name on the back of my jersey when I play. I walk around with that name. That's my family name, the name my son will grow up with. So it's very important to me to keep the level of maturity that I have.

Dwyane Wade

When you're not playing up to your capability, you gotta try everything, to motivate, to get them going. All of them have to be on the same end of the rope to pull together. It's playing for the name on the front of the shirt, not the back. Individualism gets you trophies and plaques. Play for the front, that wins championships. I try to remind them of that.

Tommy Lasorda

Every time I pull on a jersey, I know people are going to notice the name on the back, no matter was name's on the front. It is something which will always follow me.

Timothy Weah

The one thing I will never do is buy a shirt because of its name, especially when it's $600 for that shirt. To me, that's ridiculous. It's just a shirt; it's not worth the money.

Macklemore

The name on the front of the jersey is what really matters, not the name on the back.

Joe Paterno

I promise to play for the logo on the front, not the name on the back

Sidney Crosby

Name any name and then remember everybody you ever knew who bore that name. Are they all alike. I think so.

Gertrude Stein

I'm more of a go-out-there-and-get-it-done-by-any-means type of guy that don't care what name is on the back of the jersey or what name is on the front of the jersey.

Patrick Beverley

I can't imagine putting my name on a t-shirt. For someone to wear my name? Me? It's ridiculous.

David Berman

I’m not my name. My name is something I wear, like a shirt. It gets worn. I outgrow it, I change it.

Jerry Spinelli

My name came from me wanting a 'double-letter' artist name. In search of the ultimate L-word to put in front of my real name Luke, I heard Snoop Dogg rapping in Gin and Juice 'Laaaaiiidbackk...' and I was sold!

Laidback Luke

You're looking for players whose name on the front of the sweater is more important than the one on the back. I look for these players to play hard, to play smart and to represent their country.

Herb Brooks

If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment; you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance.

Dale Carnegie

When you go to work, if your name is on the building, you're rich. If your name is on your desk, you're middle class. And if your name is on your shirt, you're poor.

Rich Hall

There will come a time when the world will look back to modern vivisection in the name of science, as they do now to burning at the stake in the name of religion.
