Very true . . . and wouldn't that make our job easier if we could just hoop and sew wherever . . . LOL . . . at this point I just want to be sure I'm not sending the cross country team out in sweats with embroidery framing their groin area. I think perhaps an inch or to toward the outer side seam (between front center and side seam) might be appropriate . . . and about 6.5" down from the waistband.

I once saw a guy with something embroidered on the back of his shirt just below the top of his shoulder. And the embroidery was on a 45 degree angle. Now I'm certain somebody wanted it that way but I'm also certain you won't find THAT placement in any embroidery book. So more power to ya'.
