Default ZO6 Patches?

I've got a very nice leather jacket that my old company gave to me. I would like to find a ZO6 patch to have sewn on the front to cover the logo (about the size of the fender badge). I'd also like a large patch to go on the back.

Anybody seen any around?

Contact the Corvette Museum, they may have something.

I found a local embroidery shop that with a digital machine can convert almost anything into an embroidered item. I was able to get them to go our corporate logo for $5 a shirt (you supply the shirt) and it was cheaper by 50% than buying a similar product from our corporate employees store. Of course we had to get corporate approval since our logo is considered a "trademark".

But if your just wanting something that looks like a GM trademark but not 100% they may do it.

Good luck

Tom

Thanks,

I did not see anything on the Museum website, I am worried that they will not do the ZO6 patch because of the trade mark.

I'll check them out and see.

Thanks

Next time you are at a car show find the t-shirt vendor. They will do it for you no problem.

I have a buddy with a CNC embroidery machine. If there is enough interest, I could have him make a batch. He embroidered my trunk partition that I made with the ZO6 logo this past year. Pricing is normally determined by the number of stitches and colors in the design. If I could get this for $15-$20, would anybody want one?

I'm in. Are there any limits on the patch size? I'm not looking for a big patch, but curious about the size possibilities.

I'm thinking maybe four inches wide. He digitized an emblem for me and proportianately sized it for my partition, so I guess it would be the same concept. Should be sized for a shoulder patch or front lapel(?)

I agree...I need a patch that is about 1" x 4". I would like it to look like the '04 fender badge with 405hp on it.

I'm in if someone can get it done and it look nice.

Send me a PM!

Should have a pic of prototype tomorrow. We have the option of iron-on or sew-on. Sew-on will be cheaper and less lilkely to come off in wash, wear, etc. Any feedback to this?

Sized dimensions at moment are approx. 1" x 3-1/2". Not sure if it needs to be larger until I see it in person...
