BigDmo Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Just bought myself the Oregon Ducks' national championship uniform and a Natty patch, but I don't really know how I should go about combining the two. The patch I bought is iron on, but ideally I would have it sewn on, however I wouldn't know where to go and I don't really want to pay that much more on this little project anyway. Anyone have any tips? I'm thinking about ironing it on and then sewing it a little bit myself. Also I'm a little concerned about the ironing process ruining the jersey, should I be concerned?

officeglenn Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It's probably not the preferred way to go, but when I got a Flames jersey and a 2004 Stanley Cup Finals patch, I took them to a local sewing shop in the small town I was living in at the time and asked them to do it. Only cost me $5, and it has held up very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTAHMAN4 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Agreed ^^^^^^ i used to work in a small embroidery shop, it would cost probably about $5 or less, and would last. I have tried the iron, and came out with bad results, basically ruining the jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I usually spray the spot on the jersey with a light adhesive product, place the patch on that spot, then sew it on myself (just around the edges). It depends somewhat on the backing of the patch as well. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDmo Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Alright thanks for the responses guys. I'll see what kind of embroidery places I can find here in Eugene Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'm sure just about any laundry or dry cleaning place could do it as well. Look for one that offers alterations or a tailor. I learned to sew awhile back and it takes very little time to do a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 If you apply it with the adhesive backing, a heat press is ideal, but an iron and pressure will do the trick as well if you're careful and patient. Make sure you put a piece of fabric between the jersey/patch and the iron, though, so you avoid any type of burning or melting of the polyester, which can withstand temperatures up to about 300-325 degrees. You also have to make sure that after you apply heat and pressure to the front of the patch for 30-60 seconds that you let it cool for a minute and then hit it from the back (inside-out) to get the heat right on the adhesive.

BigDmo Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 So I think I'm gonna do the adhesive and sew it myself, what kind of adhesive should I get? Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDmo Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Bump. I need ideas for what kind of adhesive to use. Gonna do that then probably sew it myself or have my mom do it lol.Here it is with the patch just laying on the jersey, how's the positioning?

aawagner011 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Looks good, but if I could give you some advice... hold off til gameday to sew it onto the jersey. This way you'll know exactly where it goes on the shirt. If they leave the Pac 10 patch on, there isn't much real estate room for the BCS patch. I could see them placing it on the sleeve like Miami did tonight.Not much space for another patch:Possible solution? Like Miami: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDmo Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Nah, its going to cover the Pac 10 patch, I guarantee it. I highly doubt they'd put it on the shoulder Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Side note/question while speaking about bowl patch positioning:Anyone recall a few years ago, I vaguely remember a team wearing their bowl patch on the upper back in the nameplate spot. Can anyone help me out? Kinda bugging me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it matters what brand you use, but I do recommend using a spray adhesive. It keeps the patch in place for you to sew, but does not ruin the material (at least it hasn't for me). https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC2 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 It seems to be just the angle of the picture, but in the picture you posted, the patch looks to close to the wings. Fast. Hard. Finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDmo Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 There isn't much room for me to work on the replica. It may have to touch the wings. Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have to touch the wings.That might make it uncomfortable if the patch is sewn across to parts, it might pull down on the shoulder part of the jersey when you lift your arms. Fast. Hard.

BigDmo Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'll see how I can put it on but I may be stuck with it like that. I don't plan on wearing it much after the 10th anyway, I got it more as a decorative/collective piece Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
