A New "AIRSOFT COMBAT" Patch for our members.
« on: November 20, 2005, 10:46:06 PM »
Hello everyone!

I apologize for not being present on the forums for the past month or so.  Work has me busy and it's hard at times to get on here.  Well a few updates for eveyone would be in order.  I'm now fully combat ready!  I recived my M-16A2 from Depot53 along with other assorted goodies.  And I plan on being present in our upcoming events.  I have also been playing around with a patch design that I thank some of you may find to your liking.  I'm calling it our "Airsoft Combat Patch".  It's a very simple design, the patch measures 3.5 X 5 in. and is designed to be on the right shoulder.  I know that there has been a raging debate over the wearing of current military patches at airsoft events, and that the opinion is split right down the middle.  So I had some fun and would like to share this design and see what you all think.  I can have the patch made subdued both in woodland and desert.  And I can get about 200 at a great price.  I designed this as a add-on patch to your uniforms and am in no way, shape, or form suggesting the replacement of our current AIRSOFT ARIZONA Patch.  I just desined it for fun.  So let me know what you all think.  Suggestions are welcome as well as feedback.

!!!THE PATCH IS POSTED AS MY PROFILE PICTURE!!!!!

I could see myself wearing that on right shoulder and having the regular AA patch on my left shoulder.

or, you can just wear the Op patches you get from attending National Ops like Irene, Lionclaws, etc...

I like it.

To be a true "airsoft combat" patch, only those that have been to national OPs should wear one.

That's what the national OP patches are for...

...perhaps it could be given to those who have been to so many AA games. Or maybe it could be awarded as some sort of "above and beyond the call of duty" award.

It's the shape of our state. It should be worn by people who represent our state at national OPs.

NEW PATCH DESIGN & FEEDBACK...
« Reply #6 on: November 22, 2005, 06:22:47 PM »
Thanks for the feedback thus far gentlemen.  I was thinking and a great point has been made.  Perhaps this patch design should not hold a "combat" status after all.  Like you all stated...Certain patches are awarded at events for certain accomplishments etc... I would not want to tarnish  that.  Thank you for pointing that out to me.  Vince made a great point in his reply as well.  Why did I design the patch as the State of Arizona?  It's our home.  It is where we play.  I wanted somthing that would show other teams and organizations the pride and honor of a great state.  Why the Black Stripe acorss the Patch? This was added by the suggestion of one of my good friends serving with the U.S. ARMY  I wanted to capture our dedication to the game and willingness to HOLD THE LINE.  And thats why it's there.  We never back down, we never surrender, we hold the line. And finally Why the Infantry Insignia?  I wanted to symbolize brothers in arms.  I wanted somthing that would hit home and it seemed proper.  And thats all it is.  I just wanted to add somthing to Airsoft Arizona, It's the least I could do.

I think patches should be earned and not just given to any and everyone
but that's my .02 cents

Example,  We have an OP,  We notice  a player with good sportsmanship calls all his hits, contributes to his teams victory hey I would reward this player with a patch.

Reward good sportsmanship! I don't care if you win or lose its how you played the game

The line remind me of 1st Cav, tip to piss of anyone from first cav...
"The horse they never ride, the line the never crossed and the colors the reason why"

It's a yellow shield shape, with the line from upper left lower right and a horse head in it...

Lots of guys in 1st cav I wouldn't want to say that too, but plenty of them you'd be safe saying it....then again, the ones you wouldn't want to say it to are usually the only ones that would get it or get angry by it.

RangerBob, If you plan on living to see 24....I would not recommend that choice of words be used around any Cav Trooper.  LOL

If you notice, I left the bottom left of the patch empty...perhaps a slogan or somthing of that nature.  Perhaps somthing that states what we are all about???

Just thinking out load.
