Okay, as I said at the party, I am thinking of getting some embroidered patches made up in the next few months for folks to sew on their flights this fall. It seems like there are a few more people wanting to unify and fly the flag, so it seemed like a cool idea.
Plus, I like patches.
Anyway, let's discuss. I was thinking of a simple black and white design. Probably sort of like the flag I made for my living room: the Capitals with the new one as a beer bottle, surrounded by a Fred Perry-style wreath. Does anyone have other/better ideas?
Also, do we want lettering on it? I tend to say no, it just gets cluttered. But what do y'all think?

If you look at the Tallahassee entry on wikipedia, you can see the official city flag. But it just looks like the Scottish flag with a crest in the middle, so there's not much I can do with that and have it still recognizable as being from Tally. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallahassee,_Florida |

First basic idea, except a little more polished:  |

your idea looks great, I think there should be some kind of lettering on the patch though..something that actually says SKINHEAD on it or whatever so if you're not a skin you can't have one haha hmm the only place lettering could really go is at the bottom center underneath the laurel.. might have to shrink the image a little to make it look right, I don't know..what do you think?

yeah i guess you could do that? if you didn't want to put lettering on the other patch..except get it to say SKINHEAD instead of SKINHEADS because I think that's dumb haha ..oh and I can help pay for it just let me know!

Yeah, that was just the first one I found. But I agree! So, second design idea, with lettering:  |

These are a little more Florida Skins than Tally Skins, but you get the idea.   |

I really, really like 10. It's simple and classy. I would definitely pitch in for these - and since I'd wanna wear it, I wouldn't want it to say "skinhead" as I am obviously not one. Besides, it's not like there are a whole lot of ya.

Actually, things are picking back up, seems like. But I don't think #10 will get made - it looks a little too much like a kkk patch of some kind. I'd rather have the flag-shaped version than the round one.
