A bodybuilding competition suit number tab is provided. The suit number tab embodies a tubular tab of stretch material for securing a competition number to a competition suit without fear of damaging the suit, or making the competitor uncomfortable during competition, or the number falling off. The tubular tab may be formed by folding a sheet of stretch material so that opposing ends generally align, and then joining the opposing ends. The tubular tab may then be inverted and joined to a bottom portion of the competition suit before connecting the competition number to the tubular tab, utilizing the space provided by the lumen of the tubular tab.
