..Oh,yes Boomer; landards and I would also love the patches!...I'm getting more excited! I actually passed by a store I'd never seen in my little bitty town called "Imagin-knit" so I'm going to try and get a good photo of Articat's finished mail and ask them to make some for me! Dang...will Dragon*Con EVER get here??

Don't mean to make waves, but why are we worrying so much about whether a brigade patch is worn now when we are discussing a fictional unit from 500 years in the future? Lot of things could have changed in military doctrine from the present to the time in the future when the Independents become an army.
I say we stick with brigade and move forward. If the characters in the patch don't translate to brigade, why bother with them at all. Just go with the star and the unit number.

I like the look of the hexagonal patches. This is partly due to the fact that it'll cover a similar area to a circular one of the same size. "Why is this important?" I hear the hecklers asking.
Simple, it means that with a velcro backing to attach the patch to a shirt/jacket, I can swap between my browncoat and SGC outfits in a hurry if needed (depending on who I'm hanging around with at the time).

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

mornin' troops.
Tristan, the gun looks great, and I think the brown color is from glare (at least it appears that way to me). I get paid tonight so I might go ahead and order mine as well.
As has been stated, I am in for patches and for lanyards, and I had another idea yesterday. In honor of this newly-created unit (not sure what to call it), I was thinking of putting the wonderful design of the patch onto a label for the beer I will be making, along with a red cross or the words 'First Aid' or some clever name I haven't created yet. I have never labeled my beer, so I need to look into that for size and other specifications.

Morning, all!
RIKMJWSL777, with all due respect, this is the last thread you'd be wanting to ask where to find an Alliance sword. I suggest trying your search engine or starting another thread.
Nico...I can't really argue with that logic. I can see you walking around D*C, though, quickly replacing patches as you move through fandoms! 
RIMG, that would be a wonderful honor, ad far as labeling the beer goes! The first Independent Army Brigade with it's own beer! Whoo-hoo!

No waves made. Frankly it doesn't matter, but it's all a matter of preference. Also, you don't see any unit patches on any of the soldiers in the flashbacks other than the triangle one Mal pulls of the dead LT. We're all assuming that's the 'Independent Patch', but in all honesty, it may be the patch of the 57th Overlanders.
I personally prefer the idea of wearing the Battalion patch because as a Bn we could be one of the Bn's that make up the "Balls and Bayonets" Brigade (the 57th) and therefore be in Mal's unit, even if under him. Here's what I mean:
Quote:
Sergeant Malcolm Reynolds is stationed on Hera and in command of thirty-odd grunts, including Zoe Alleyne. Five days into the battle, there are so many officers dead that he commands two thousand, and he keeps all of them together, fighting, and sane. The Browncoats are forced to pile up the bodies of fellow soldiers and friends to build a wall because they have no cover, while blood just keeps pouring out of them. The survivors slip in it half the time, finding out that "bloodbath" is not just a figure of speech.
[Firefly DVD and website. In the same deleted scene, Zoe tells Simon about the role she and Mal played in the battle, though they "didn't turn the tide of glorious history."]
So it's a very real possability that the BDH himself will lead us in the Battle of Serenity Valley.

BWTP, I like that concept! Huh, so he will lead us after all, it seems. Shiny!
I say we stick with the design we have. One thing I am confused about, though...will we be wearing both the Independents' patch on one sleeve and ours on the other, or...how does that work?
