Hey patch collectors, what do you do with your patches?

RC242143

I just bought a fenway one and wrigley one at the shows this year. Thinking about getting a canvas duffle to put them on but was curious what others do with their patches? Do you just put them in a shoebox, display them? Use them? Just looking for some ideas.

I have a few patches that my wife has been promising to sew on some hoodies for me for awhile. She actually got started on it today. I will post some pics when done.

I stole this idea from someone else on the forum but I'm going to buy a blank 47 adjustable hat and sew the patch on the front seeing as the band refuses to sell any hats that aren't flat brimmed

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Having said that...I'll be putting mine on my PJ Patagonia Black Hole backpack...

I use my backpack everyone vacation, weekend getaway and PJ concert I go to
Not sewing any patches on it though

I've been collecting concert patches for a few years now. My idea was to put them on an Army Jacket once I could find the one I wanted. It might have been fate as I found the perfect one in Chicago last weekend. My wife hasn't sewn them on yet, but I can't wait for it to cool off and wear the jacket.

How are you putting them on? I have that pack as well. I thought about doing using it, but the back has a plasticlike material, thinking about sewing them to the spandex sides, but not sure if that will hold up when they stretch to put stuff in.

My wife finished one hoodie this morning. Used the patches from Wrigley 2013 and a $20 Champion hoodie we got at Costco.

That's a really neat finished product - well done....... and the price is ideal That guitar PJ patch is the best one that I've seen.

RC242143

That sweatshirt does look awesome!

Holy crap. I literally ... I mean, LITERALLY ... just was looking at that same hoodie at Costco last night, 14 hours ago. Didn't cross my mind to use it for patches – and this is after I posted in the Ten Club FB group asking for ideas for what to do with patches. I was thinking about putting them on an army green-colored spring/fall light jacket I wear, but this might be the way to go. NICELY DONE so far.

Thank you

That's pretty funny about the Costco story. I also grabbed a light gray O'Neill sweatshirt there too for another set of patches that my wife promises to have done by the end of the weekend. Will post here when done. Cheers!

You Rang?!?!
I used mine as an actual patch...



My tie-dyed I'm Analog T-shirt got caught on a bike handle at the Missoula show in 2012 ripped a big hole in the bottom seam,
I used the PJ20 & 2012 Membership patch to repair the hole, and have added on to the bottom seam with every new patch available.

I like the tie dyed analog shirt, mine is faded and was thinking of retiring it to goodwill. Might give it some new life!

Anyone have a red fenway patch to sell?
Thank u in advance

My wife finished up a second hoodie this morning with a combo of one of the Fenway patches and one form the ten club shop. Got the O'Neill hoodie at Costco. Total cost with hoodie was $30.

Does she iron those on or sew them?

That one was way to busy for me..I like a simple hoodie with just a couple of patches good job!

Sewn on.

Did she remove the glue beforehand or leave it on?

She sewed it on as is. She said the backing on the patches are very similar to the Girl Scout patches she does for my daughter which she also sews. I think if you know how to sew these patches are a pretty simple project. I imagine any mom and pop tailor shop would do it pretty cheaply.

I agree. I told my wife that I like my stuff to have just a whiff of Pearl Jam... Not reek of Pearl jam like a teenager with too much cologne.

Those look great. In anticipation of the patches for Fenway I purchased 2 o'neill and 2 champion hoodies last month at Costco as well. Just need to choose whether or not to sew or iron them on.

Haven't done anything yet but they will be hand sewn on. I want to have them places on the outside/back of the pack so they're clearly visible...
