You also don't want to be giving the impression that creating dayglow tabbards or stick on patches with customised printed information on them e.g a personal ID or number plate for cyclists is something that you are willing to tolerate.
I have no issues with wearing hi-viz for the environment type clothing, but tabbards and ID marks are a touchy subject right now.
You need to be careful what you display on clothing in an attempt to improve your safety.
One Researcher (Walker I think) found that cyclists wearing a "POLITE" vest designed to look like a "POLICE" garment actually got less road space from motorists, probably because they did not like being deceived.
A journalist writing in the Guardian a few years ago said when he used one of these it seemed to work OK, until someone threw a milk bottle at him as he was riding through a council estate.
Once we get into this area we are moving from advice and information into psychology
These are good https://passpixi.com/
Drivers don't see cameras. I used to have a cheap amazon camera on my rack but it made no difference. They just don't see them. They seem to spot the pass pixi though
I used this website - https://www.hivis.co.uk/hi-visibility.html
You can put whatever text and images you want on a hi-vis vest.
Quality was very good, although check the sizing carefully as it's much bigger than you might expect.
Personally, I found that wearing it made very little difference to the number of close passes I was getting and I stopped wearing it when the evenings got brighter.
If love to get that on a rucksack cover, you know, like the Hump covers
Have just emailed REspro suggesting it.
how about something like https://passpixi.com/ ?
I've just spotted this one https://equisafety.com/products/air-waistcoat-bright-yellow-smile-you-ar...
But you could image search for "Smile You're On Camera", then if you find a design you like. Contact one of those "we print your design" sites, and have one printed up.
i.e. a sew/velcro on patch.
Same site but for bikes and scooters - the "polite" and chevron design
