Flashlarue Posted September 15, 2012 #1 Posted September 15, 2012 I normally see this patch with yellow stitching or with a dark blue background. Was this blue stitching and light blue background done for any particular reason?
Johnny Signor Posted September 15, 2012 #3 Posted September 15, 2012 It's usually been in a light blue background, if you see ones with a dark blue background you should get them , variations are collectable too . Your "posted" patch is the older larger 50/60's era type back when they made them better and larger , and they just cahnged the "title" color and size in the 70's

Mark1 Posted September 16, 2012 #6 Posted September 16, 2012 Here are some subdued, dark blue and a green one. Mark
gwb123 Posted September 16, 2012 #7 Posted September 16, 2012 I picked this PACAF patch up a few years ago On top of the color differences, that looks Korean made.
Third Herd Posted September 16, 2012 #8 Posted September 16, 2012 The early Pacific Air Forces patches had the light blue background, the Air Force changed the background color to dark blue but I don't know when.
skio Posted September 17, 2012 #9 Posted September 17, 2012 I believe they went to the dark blue background in the mid 1990's when they started messing with designations of the sqdns, wings and restructuring the AF. Many patches went back to the original colors and designs from when the were first designed.

Randy Posted February 27, 2019 #14 Posted February 27, 2019 FF is spot on, could even be 70s era too. Randy
