KSCartistBrilliant and fun design. I wish I created it.Marwin2Where is stars on US flag?davidcwagnerReally like the astronaut doing a "Slam Dunk" with the moon.Robert Pearlman quote:Originally posted by Marwin2:Where is stars on US flag? It is not uncommon for patches to forgo the stars due to the limits of embroidery. At the size the flag will appear on the physical patch, it might be too small to stitch individual stars. Some patches also omit the stars for design purposes.Robert PearlmanA-Emblem is now selling the Class 23 "The Flies" patch (design no. 450328).Kevin T. RandallThe details on the two labels seen so far are;450328 Made In Taiwan 06 23 06 (on an old style white label without the "crown logo")450328 A-B Emblem 06/2306 (Taiwan) with the A-B Emblem "crown logo" but without "Made In Taiwan" (cS)These labels are stuck to the backs of these Class XXIII flies patches without a plastic coating over the labels.p51Nice looking patch! quote:Originally posted by KSCartist:Brilliant and fun design. I wish I created it.You can still tell there were elements that more than one person insisted upon. It's what I usually call, "ten pounds of ideas in a five-pound bucket," though this one is nowhere as bad as I've seen other space patches in the last ten years or so
