Patches...

Any way I can get one of the new or old AB Patches? I would like to purchase one to complete my setup on the jersey I have and my vest. Anybody who can help out lemme know.

Thanks

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.

Yes, plz.  I would love to get a couple for my set up.  Just was never able to buy one from old forum at the time mesa so disappointed.

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!

One more.......a little photoshop touch up on the graphics and such.

one question what size is this patch going to be?

The ones I was drawing were assumed to be a typical 3" x 3.5", give or take, shoulder patch.

weve done this song and dance a few times,.. ill try finding what we had as the final product last time.

so wed need investors basically.  How many would you be 100% committed to buying for you? whats the most you would pay for a patch?

What were the prices for the last set Brock?

aw jeeze,... i think they were 7, at cost...

not to sound greedy, but in the interst of not bankrupting the Brock, id like to make a bit to cover hosting in the near future.

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.

i see it like this: anything i can do to keep this site up,.. get rafles out to the regular members,.. i do it,.. i have time, so i spend it. money,... well i have 5 kids,.. so money, not so much. i dont get paid and i dont want to,.. but this is when i wish i had some more money...

itd be so cool to get a patch for u guys,.. for me... thats why i made supporting memberships,.. to get a bit of cash for the cool stuff like this....

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!

A run of Alpha Black patches or another kinda patch Krag?

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!

k cool. if everyone who has info can pm me after you touch base with whoever,.. thatd be a good start,... Dema,.. what would it cost to get like,... 6 made,.. a 3 by 3 similar to our old one? (on gramps sig)

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
