Mal tears the triangle patch off his lieutenant during The Battle of Serenity Valley in the pilot episode in order to get the authorization codes for air support. The patch can also be seen on Mal's arm when he gets up to get the codes. Here's where the confusion arises. Though both men have the patch on their right shoulders, Mal's is clearly pointing upward while the lieutenant's is pointing downward. I'm thinking it likely changes with rank or signifies squad. The patch on the lieutenant also definitely has some blue on it though I cannot tell what it is.

Ok first off I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet...

Those are the most accurate patches on the market today. The best resource would be the Official Companion Vol. 1 as it has pictures of at least two different patches.
As for me? I'd get a simple, small tattoo of the Chinese script for Serenity on the back of my neck, high and right under the hair-line. I'd get it on my back but the whole thing is reserved for a tattoo of an enormous ancient Banyan tree. I'm still trying to work out what I want it to look like and who I want to do it. There will definitely be a small bird, a lizard and/or snake and a pixie or sylvan like creature in the tree. To show my love of birds, reptiles and fantasy.
Edit: WOAH sorry I did have a picture of the patches but it was WAY too big... I'll just do a link to the page and you can click on the patches. Which are just a bit down the list.

I read somewhere that the original costume design designated that the triangle should be point down. When the costumes were constructed, however, it was sewn on base-down.

Don't have it yet. But I'm planning to get the word "suaimhneas" (Irish for Serenity) tattooed in Ogham (and ancient style of writing in these parts.) I'd really, really love it on the back of my neck, but may have to settle for behind my left shoulder.
