If this was an actual danger, then I can understand why they would label the poles with their names. The potential confusion could lead to something catastrophic. However, I think we both need to step back from this and examine the inherent danger of Batman wearing Robin's costume, and Robin wearing Batman's costume.
First, we must ask ourselves these questions:
1) Will the suits fit?
2) Would Batman talk like Robin?
3) Would Robin suddenly gain a slighter degree of intelligence?
4) Would Batman loses his special Bat powers? (which do not include intelligence, by the way).
5) Would the Butler get confused?
These are only some of the questions that would provoke much controversy and thought.
I leave it to other individuals to tease out the possibly dangerous implications of what would happen if Batman and Robin wore the wrong costumes. The welfare of the known universe literally boggles with the dire implications of this possibility.
