Evening, all.
ArtCat, that is very, very shiny! Wow, that looks good! Just....wow. 
Sister, I like that idea. The number 76 superimposed on the Chinese symbol for brigade...I'm thinking in a square to be different from the Independent's patch.
And BWTP is already working on one....never mind the above...
CMH, my knowledge of the modern military hierarchy is about on par with ignorance. I would defer to you and other military individuals in this case. Please. I have no idea....
Oh, I took a few hours of my own tonight and started playing with the vests. I took the stripe pattern on this one from Mal's in The Message...screen-by-screen, and this is the closest I can come up with. I have also noticed at least two different types of vests (to add to the confusion)...the type Mal wears, with the horizontal and vertical stripes, and the type Tracey wears, with just the horizontal stripes (Zoe also has this type on in the deleted scene in the piot episode...am I taking this a bit too far?) This leads me to believe that the vests might also indicate rank...not sure how, though...again, I may be over-thinking this just a wee bit.
The one I stitched and pinned together tonight is of the horizontal and vertical striped variety. I'd like to stick to just one type for all of us involved, so I'd like to call for a vote on this. Y'all let me know.

Submitted for your approval, I give you two working designs.
My favorite of the two:
And the second:
As I said, there is no Chinese character for Brigade, that's Battalion, but a Brigade is a huge element anyway, usually comprised of 2-4 Battalions. Way I figure it, we could be a Battalion under the 57th Overlander Brigade.
Nice design for the vest Tristan.

Thank you for those!

I found a place, and it's about $190.00 for 100 (100 being the minimum we can buy). And that's for basic (i.e. no iron on backings, no metalic thread, etc). That makes it a $1.90 a patch, which isn't too bad. But are there 100 people that want them?
If not, I'm sure we could bring extras with and sell them there. It's something to think about.

BWTP, thank you for finding a place, too. I have no problem putting up a large chunk of that, if there are a few other people interested in doing so as well. It may take me a few weeks to get $100.00 or so together, but it's a possibility. If nothing else, we get an order of 100, split it amongst the intial investors, and sell them as we go. As you are the contact, BWTP, would it be better for you to arrange al this, and get the money from those interested?

I'll open correspondence with the company and work out the actual price. $190 is worst case I'm thinking, I might be able to get it as low as $150. The numbers I'm running off of are estimates.
Once I've talked with them about it, and we decide on a patch, I'll place the order and those that want to make an initial investment can send me the money and I'll send you a chunk of the patches to do with as you please. Then if anyone else wants any they can contact one of us.
Once I get details I'll let you know. But I might not get anything until a design is decided upon.
