Ribbon (V7)

All ribbons (also called cloths or strip) must be at least two inches wide and eighteen inches in length, and clearly visible (not hidden behind equipment or a shield) on the person or object they are applied to.

Armbands and headbands act in all ways like ribbons and must follow their rules. Each color ribbon has a different meaning to allow quick identification.

Things to note.

On shields it is often required by local Reeve that ribbon for Harden Shield or Imbue Shield be displayed across the front of the shield, this usually requires that the ribbon be much longer than the required 18". It is suggested that you carry your own strips for your shield for this purpose.
