Cianfrocco Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Is it just me, or does it seem like the Astros use more commemorative patches than any other MLB team? It seems like there is always a team anniversary, Astrodome anniversary, new stadium patch, Columbia shuttle patch, All Star Game patch, or something else that comes out every other year. Maybe if I had more time, or if someone is bored and looking for something to do, some research could shed some light on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djqman69 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Like the flames 25th and Houston ASG patch (Although I have no idea where they plan to put it on their jerseys)"Celebrating 45 Years" is my only gripe with the Astro's Patch. It would just be better with "45 Years" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this be the "We Own The Phillies" patch that used to belong to the Marlins?Can't wait 'til next year, so we can see which other team can claim ownerhip of it next!

Sharpjoker Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 A 45th anniversay patch could have been a good opportunity for some creativity in the Astros organization. Weren't they originally the Colt 45's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneDavid Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I like a uniform with event patches. It dates the jersey.I agree. When I got my old Astros jersey customized, I had the MLB 125th Anniversary patch and the Astrodome: The Original patch sewn on, since Bagwell's MVP year was 1994.

When I got my old Astros jersey customized, I had the MLB 125th Anniversary patch and the Astrodome: The Original patch sewn on, since Bagwell's MVP year was 1994. Now that's the kind of thinking I like! Nice attention to detail as well. A "two patch" jersey of a player with a significant award or team accomplishment from that season. Well done. I've got a ton of hockey jerseys, all patched up whenever possible, and I can quote all kinds of things like that. "Oh, that's my 96 Joe Sakic Avs jersey when Colorado won the Stanley Cup and Joe won the Conn Smythe award."

spyboy1 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I like a uniform with event patches. It dates the jersey.I like the patches as well, it feeds my hobby of collecting 'em! I've actually made my own patches a couple of times when I couldn't buy one. For example, the once a year "Hockey Fights Cancer" patches are not sold to the public.I am not fooling any experts with mine because they are not embroidered. I get the art work and trace over it in photoshop. Then, I get some scrap twill material from a place that does jersey lettering. I print the patch design on some "transfer paper" used for making t-shrit designs at home, and iron the design onto the twill. I cut that out and have it professionall sewn on a jersey with the zig-zag stich and from two feet away you can hardly notice the difference. I made one for my Zholtok Wild jersey since he was the one to wear the HFC patch in 2003.I've also done the St. Louis Blues 25th anniversary patch, the Rangers 9/11 ribbon and other simple memorial ones, that are usually just a white number in black circle.JeffB Click here to read Third String Goalie - The Hockey Jersey of the Day Blog Click here to see my hockey and baseball jersey collection online ?You don?t like to see 20 kids punching 20 other kids.
