| The only place to get one is from LynrdSynrd. he hasn't been around in a while. But I do see him on the Brian Enos forums every once in a while. He, like I has moved on to competitive shooting. I still plan to play paintball every once in a while though. | |

| So, for the guys like OMG and I who want one, could we start looking in to a new patch? I have a niece who makes 'em. I can certainly check on how much she would need to produce them. I'd need artwork for her too. | |

| We tossed the idea around about doing a new one awhile back, I think it may be time to start it up again. If we can get enough serious interest and then maybe look at the designs, we can see what happens. | |

| I'd be in for a half dozen or so, pending final cost. I'm pretty good at Photoshop as well if you need any help on that end. | |

| Gramps, To open the discussion, I think the one you have on your sig should be the standard. That honestly is just too awesome. | |

| I agree that it is one of the best I have seen, but since it was brought over from the old forum, maybe we need to also look at new designs. I have seen some good ideas on here before, so lets see what happens and see what the interest is on them. | |

| Anybody have an idea for a concept then? Let's get some discussion started. The OG AB patch is cool by me but let's look to the future a lil bit. | |

| I was messing around a bit at work. Here's some ideas. Y'all should be able to copy and save for editing if you want. I like the "reaper 2" inset graphic the best. There's the base patch jpeg you can download as well to help people design something. ....Now back to writing a radiological work plan for Basra! Hah! | |

| No no I get it dude, that's why I was asking. If they're 7 at cost, I could see parting with $12-14 to make sure you make your money back and then some. | |

| OK here is the thing. as far as large orders I am not set up for it. I cant make stuff cheap enough or fast enough to keep. this is a side gig for me. I am set up for small run deals. BUT with this being said. I can also do mock ups and donate some time to this so you can at least see what things will look like in thread. what can and can not work. | |

| We just did a run of patches on another site. I think they did 200 to get the price down to $4.
Too bad cafe press doesn't do patches! | |

| These were patches for "The Weapon's Guild", a firearm/gunbuilder's site. We had them done in various camo backgrounds with our site logo and motto in several colors. They were rectangular patches and came out really nice. It's a very active forum, so getting a couple hundred patches committed/sold only took a week. I'll look up who we had do the patches.
For small runs, the pricing was pretty much what's been listed here ~$7-10/ea.
My wife has a programmable embroidery machine. She laughed when I asked her what it would take to do a dozen patches. $12 isn't a bad deal, especially is a portion goes to the site upkeep! | |

| I am in for at least one, more than likely 2 of them once we have made our final choices on the design and price. I do have some info for places that we can use for small runs and large ones | |
