MLB Cool Base Authentic Jerseys

I wish I'd known that a few years ago.

(As some of you may remember) I "authenticized" an A's replica jersey, and used a collector's patch on the sleeve. It's rock solid.

This might not be the best place for this question, but I'm looking for some help here.

What are the sleeve patches on the authentic jerseys like? Are they sewn on or ironed on? Are the patches on the jerseys different from all those collector patches with the hard plastic coating on the back? I am considering adding patches to my blank replica jerseys, but I'm not quite sure which type of patch to get. Any help?

Here is what is listed as an official jersey sleeve patch:

And this is the collector's patch:

(the patches look pretty much the same to me)

I have ordered a collector's patch in the past, and it is not easy to sew them onto anything because of the backing. So what do the authentics use?

Just hold the collectors patch over an electric stove for awhile. If you're careful you'll be able to peel the plastic backing off without a problem after it heats up a bit.

Using a blowdryer does the same thing a bit more safely.

The patches are the same. The collectors' patches are the ones sewn on the authentics, but without the plastic backing.

I know this has been posted before on other threads, but I cannot find the specific one that talks about websites that will remove old names/numbers and stitch new ones to your jerseys. Can anyone help or recommend a site? thanks!

True but a blow dryer takes a lot longer.
