Sabrejet Posted November 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 21, 2009 Are there full-colour versions of these technical patches or are they only produced in subdued colours? (I know the SAC Command patch is available colour!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MMS Posted November 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 21, 2009 Yes there are. The only one I have never seen in color is the SAC Journeyman Technician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MMS Posted November 21, 2009 Share #4 Posted November 21, 2009 Yes, just about any USAF will catch my eye. If you haven't already, go to USAFPatches.com and under "where to buy", check out Paulspasstime and radmanpatches, both are top notch sellers and individuals! Also if there is anything I can keep an eye out for, let me know. Cheers, Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamski Posted November 21, 2009 Share #9 Posted November 21, 2009 These are the only colored versions I have of these. I do have quite a few of the subdued ones though. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted November 21, 2009 Ski...am I right in assuming that these patches were intended for wear on the breast pockets of BDUs (subdued) and fatigue shirts (full colour)? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian The full colored ones were worn on fatigues up to around 1978 or so. I don't know the swap-over date. After that, subdued patches were worn on the fatigues until BDU's came into use starting in 1988. Today, the BDUs are getting phased out and will not be worn after 2010, or so. With that, the end of subdued patches as we see it, will happen. Sad. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying they'll be a patch-free zone?! Won't they be covered with velcro attachment points like the Army's ACU? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian The ABU's, or Airman Battle Uniforms do not have unit patches, only the rank, nametapes and technical badges. That's it. Hopefully the policy will change sometime in the future. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share #14 Posted November 21, 2009 So the most patch-aware branch of the US military becomes the least so overnight?! How bizarre is that? What about espirit de corps?! Ian :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about espirit de corps?!Ian :think: My arguement exactly. It makes us who wear BDU's/ACU's feel like we are second class citizens. Sure, aircrew can wear their squadron patches, but us slobs can't..... Now I'm starting to get miffed. I'm retired anyways, so.................... -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make such images from 400 to 600 pixels wide and they will still fit nicely into the forum and be easier to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
