It's a ~$700,000 space suit custom tailored for a single astronaut on a single mission. Why wouldn't it have the astronaut's name stitched into it?
Also, have you never seen a NASA/Air Force/Military uniform in general? They all wear their names somewhere.
Also, so you can quickly put on the correct suit, quickly, in pretty disorienting conditions.
Who shit in my suit!
That would be disorienting.
It's a 700k suit to make in today's money.
That doesn't include R&D, and very notably doesn't include things the life support backpack or helmet either. If you add those, you come to something like nearly 2 million in 1967 money, or nearly 19 million in modern money.
$700k was calculated assuming T&D and 2024 dollars, so you're doubling down on math I already did.
The total budget for the suits in 1967 dollars was $100K/suit.
Best I could find were a 5 million and 100m dollar order for the 60ish suits plus 20m for what I'm guessing are 60 more PLSS units, though I'll admit there might be fewer of those. Inflation happens and you're on my number. But if you have a better source than someone said it on a forum once, I'll gladly accept it.
Regardless, it was crazy expensive, and shouldn't be swapped out with the other. The point stands
