| | Posted : 20 Dec 2013 - 11:40 Post title : Thunderbird TB1600.com Patches - Now available (finally)! | | | Ok Ladies and Gentlemen,
I know it's been a long time coming but the result of our first attempt was not satisfactory and we ditched it.
So Eddy (of fasteddysports.com) kindly offered to help, both in the setting up his facilities for orders and distributon and then in the production process.
Needless to say, this has taken a massive weight off our shoulders.
He in fact went a step even further and insists on subsidizing a major portion of the costs involved for both the patch and shipping, as a "thank you" gesture to us all.
The patches are now available.
So, the cost for each patch will come to the exorbitant amount of US$ 3.00 per patch, INCLUDING shipping anywhere in the world.
They are sized 3 1/2 X 2 7/8 inches. [Edit] They are iron-on.
For those interested, you can order them here ... Thunderbird Site Patch order link.
This was the design:
This is an example of the actual patch, which was more complicated than we thought (threading):
Link
Now, in order to keep everything above board and transparent, I need to make the following disclosure.
Both Kathy who made the design (Greenwind on here) and I are getting one for free.

Yes, for traditional reasons it depicts the "ton", therefore it's MPH (an idea contributed by mr_stang in Australia).
It was originally 90 MPH. Here's a link to the original design considerations description and discussion. Link

Eddy tells me it's not actually gold but beige, a little darker than the original. Also it's an iron-on (I forgot to mention it in my original post).
