Guest Xtndr50boom Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 "I'M NOT A LOAD" seems to be getting popular these days around the KC-10 boom community. I've seen at least 5 or 6 wearing it these last few weeks. A little background, the ATOC weenies are notorious for coming onto our planes (10s and 135s) and asking where the load is. Not like it takes alot of brain power to figure out if the jet will have a load or a boom. Damn 9-11 patches are still reasonably popular too. And the mill-around meter is still very much in play in the 10 world.
KennyB Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Back to the morale patches... Wearing a morale patch with your airframe on it is like wearing a Grateful Dead shirt to a Grateful Dead concert. I'M A FAN!! Oh wait, you're all fans too... crap.
Herk Norris Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Anybody know of any good Patch/Sticker("Zap")/Mug companies that have put out a good product in the past for anyone. Cheaper is better but i don't want it to look like shit. I've searched Google, etc.. but can't find anyone that does both patches and stickers Thanks
Fozzy Bear Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I've tried several. The only one I will ever use is Mardon. They're based in Tuscon, and as far as I know, they're the best. I've never been unhappy with them, although sometimes they get backed up. Is this for a UPT class or an established unit? If for a unit, find out who they used. www.mardonco.com
Guest Hydro130 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I don't know of a CONUS joint that does both (I'm sure there's somewhere in Korea or Okinawa that does). For mugs, these cats do a very nice job. Cheers, Hydro
spectre56 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I think this company does custom work. I got one of their samples and it looked pretty good.
UPT-hopeful Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 You can pay more, but you can't get better quality: Progressive Specialties https://www.progspec.com
M2 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 '2' on Progressive (a.k.a. EmblemKing), Eric's son Mike is in UPT at the moment. As for other manufacturers, try this list. Cheers! M2
Gas Man Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 https://www.1866jetclub.com/1866Jetclub/index.html One stop shopping for all your needs, and the prices are much better.
Bluto Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Try this place for patches https://www.americanindustriesus.com/ I'm not sure if they do zaps but they make good quality patches.
M2 Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I know a few of you on here are Norris fans, so I thought you might be interested in this... Get 'em here. Nonetheless, John Wayne would still kick Chuck Norris' ass! Cheers! M2
H2Nav Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 I tried a forum search for the welcome to USAFE patch with the guy kicking the other guy. Anyone know where I can find it?
amcflyboy Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 I tried a forum search for the welcome to USAFE patch with the guy kicking the other guy. Anyone know where I can find it? Go here: https://home.hetnet.nl/~rwkleingeerts3/86tfw.htm. 3rd row up from the bottom, on the far right. Is this it??
JarheadBoom Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Whether that's the one H2Nav is looking for or not... that's some funny shit right there! I think there are several substitutions that could be made for "USAFE", and it would still be valid: - AETC - the 'Deid (with desert bags of course) - KWRI - __________
Guest Fogo Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Most discussion that comes up about them leads to the usual meters and stuff about the desert. Anyone know where you can find pro sports team morale patches? If there is such a thing. What about colleges? I know a lot of A&M folks have em, but didn't know if they existed otherwise. Thanks.

Between Turkey and Korea, you can get ANYTHING made. Unfortunately, in the states, most company fringe at trademark and copyright rules....you're not going to find many companies that will accomidate. You can call Mardon and ask, but I wouldn't bet on those folks being able to help. I have had numerous Univ of Texas patches made...unfortunately, if you are coming in w/ a unique design, you won't be able to just get 1 made....I'm certain that the min request is 12 (for a new design). Prices go for about $2 per patch and $3-4 w/ velcro....it's all dependent on the current market, and your ability to negotiate. Our unit is currently deployed in Turkey....I'll pass along any requests you have to my guys there. What specifically are you looking for? PM back requests and I'll see if I can help you out.
M2 Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Y'mean like this beautiful example? AV8TR.com has some, and tell Fritter M2 said 'howdy!' Cheers! M2
Mambo Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 If you'd like to get a regular team patch try idatasports. I just got a Steeler patch from there, minus the velcro, which you can get sewn on easily enough.
Guest mjk5401 Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 (edited) Not to do any advertising for my boys, but www.classpatch.com has some great deals on all patches (ordered in bulk). Check them out. They'll even help you out in the design process. Edited December 6, 2007 by mjk5401
Oldman04 Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 I had the class patches made and used corporatelogos. High quality and real fast in making them. We also made drop night patches and used them. They worked with us and charged us for a reorder instead a new order.
Berry Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Do us a favor and check usafupt.com before you come up with something that's been done a million times before.
brabus Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 We did both our class patch and friday patch through Progressive Specialties. You can email them at sales(at)progspec(dot)com. They do great quality work and their prices are pretty descent. He's also very accommodating...i.e. we only wanted 35 friday patches and he did it for us (there's only 6 of us, so no need for the usual number). I couldn't find one company other than progressive that would let us do that. Give them an email, you won't be disappointed w/ the quality, price or their genuine care about the customer (unlike several companies I've dealt w/ in the recent past...where has customer service gone?).

I'll second that. Eric and Brian are great dudes, and Eric's son Mike used to be on this forum. He completed UPT back in June... Cheers! M2
Flare Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 While I agree that Mardon does good work, as alluded to above, their customer service and (moreso) their turn-around times are not the greatest. Anyone know a place to do nametags other than Mardon?
usaf36031 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 The junior nav class here at randolph recently rolled out with "Nav-a-sutra...we're always in the right position" Apparently it got approved. I found that humorous. Not sure what pic they chose yet.
