oakland ehs Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 UPDATEDSo I snagged the sleeve patch off eBay, although I bought it for $15 and was disappointed when I saw them just recently for as little as $1, or a lot of 25 for like $10, but whatever.A major thank you to Bouj. Thanks to him, I also got the MLB patch for the back of the jersey, and we now have our final result, all professionally stitched and as close to an authentic as you can get without being $200 or a fake off of eBay:The jersey was blank before, so I figured this would be the perfect time to add the name and number of one of the A's top up and coming players.Thanks to those who replied... being successful in this quest makes all that effort worthwhile I managed to find an A's shoulder patch online... but my next question is:Does anybody know where I could find the little MLB logo patch for the back of the jersey? I'd be looking for one in A's colors, obviously, to match the uniform.I've done a few quick searches but found nothing. Or if anyone has an A's jersey they dont like and want to cut a logo off, that would be great too, but very doubtful Thanks!Original post:That's the one I'm talking about. I'm looking for a place I could purchase JUST THE PATCH online.Of course, I'd be looking for the jersey sized patch, although I don't imagine any other sizes exist.I have a replica jersey that I want to make slightly more authentic by getting one of these guys.Thanks in advance.

oakland ehs Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 You're right... and I managed to find one.My next question would be then... anyone know where I can find a small MLB logo patch for the back of the jersey? In the A's colors, obviously.This I was unable to find on eBay on my first search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckymack Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Your best bet would be getting an A's cap with that logo, then transferring it onto the jersey. Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland ehs Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Much too small though... I'd go without rather than doing that. Unless I could find a cap with the logo as a prominent part of it... I know I've seen a few of those.Thanks for the idea though... never even thought of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland ehs Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 I am taking this:and addingand hopefully(except in the A's green and gold colors - this is the small patch I am looking for, for the back of the jersey)to make the final product look like thisThe moral of the story is that I have a replica jersey, and I want to make it look a bit more authentic. I know I'm not fooling anyone, but I bought this a few years ago because it's all the stores around here had, and I want to at least make it look more like a real jersey, because replicas don't have the sleeve logo. I already bought a sleeve logo, but I would like to try and find the MLB logo for the back of the jersey to go along with it. Tough to find of course, but figured I'd try.

benpc21 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 You could try contacting the seller of this item on ebay...they have a few teams, but not the A's listed. I believe this is the right size for what you are trying to do.MLB Patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I sewed a Mets logo and 2000 WS logo onto a replica jersey back in '00...I also sewed a Mets logo onto another replica I have...You're right...you're not fooling anyone (here at least), but so what?I applaud your efforts.

oakland ehs Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Oh and trust me, I know I'm not fooling myself either. I work in a jersey store, I'm very aware of the differences, but I may as well make the jersey look good at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I sewed a Mets logo and 2000 WS logo onto a replica jersey back in '00...I also sewed a Mets logo onto another replica I have...You're right...you're not fooling anyone (here at least), but so what?I applaud your efforts. Plenty of others have done it as well I'm sure...I've upgraded a few replicas, mostly Cubs throwbacks, since I believe you can get them as close to authentic as a $300 Mitchell & Ness. That is, a few steps off the real thing -- for a lot less.I look at old photos on baseball cards and the quality standards just don't seem to compare to today's. So why spend all of the extra money for one that does? (Not knocking those who have... I'm just cheap.)Might just be me, though. (And I never did one so recent I needed an MLB patch. Mostly '70s and 80s.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in a jersey store, I'm very aware of the differences, but I may as well make the jersey look good at least.Ever find that MLB tag? Because if not, I have an Oakland A's green and yellow MLB tag, right off of the back of an authentic jersey. Yours if you want it. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!
