I remember they made a big deal about not wearing one in the Fiesta Bowl against Miami because they felt it would cheapen their "classic" uniforms, I didnt watch the Orange Bowl last year so I don't know if they wore one last year but a player did have a BCS sticker on his helmet at one of the All-Star Games.

According to this article from last year, today marks the fifth time Penn State has worn a patch on its jerseys.

PATCHES: The Orange Bowl will mark the fourth time Penn State has worn a patch on its jerseys, according to equipment manager Brad "Spider" Caldwell. The team wore a Big Ten patch in the [Dec. 1990] Blockbuster Bowl, a Bowl Alliance patch in the Jan. 1997 Fiesta Bowl and a patch for the Dec. 1999 Alamo Bowl. The team did not wear a patch for the Jan. 1995 Rose Bowl. Caldwell's wife, Karen, spent four days last week sewing on the patches.

I was at that game. However, I can safely say that from where I was sitting, you weren't going to see any patches unless they were as big as the numbers.

Post No. 2200. This is normally where I would say I really need to get back to work, but I'm presently sitting in my den.

It's interesting that Penn State wore a Big Ten patch in 1990, after they made their deal to join the Big Ten, even though they didn't become a member until 1993.
