Going by the technical term of a patch being something on top of the jersey, no. I would think they are considered trim. But they are pretty sweet anyway
Yep thats a patch. You can have one colour patches, from the middle of a patch on a jersey. So although its pretty disappointing to only have one colour, there is no jersey just patch.
Okay, strictly speaking, a swatch forms part of a patch. This example, is a Patch no matter how lame it is. The same way, this Randy Foye is a Patch, it's also from the collar, but just that much prettier.
Patch Card – A jersey or relic card that features a swatch made from patch(es) on a team jersey. Common patches include jersey numbers, team names, player last name plates, team and league logo.
I dont classify that as a patch its just a piece of the jersey. In my opinion a patch is something that is sewn into the jersey, examples below...
Obviously a patch card with the grey and blue being the sewn on parts and the white being the jersey
This still is a patch, albeit not a great one, but is definitely off the writing "Dallas" sewn in
And then this one which is a clear jersey
What you have there as said before is off the neck or arm holes of the jersey which they dont class as patches. I had a card with that in it of Larry Bird's and it was just called a jersey. Good question and i thought that the poll would have been a lot different with more people saying jersey.
Hey Jeff. These would be considered patches...but they're pretty loosely defined as that. They're the "Jersey Piping" from around the arm and neck holes. Basically the last bits of patch they can get from a jersey after all the good bits are gone...
they're technically patches, but personally i dont count them. i need stitching with my patches (unless they didnt have stitching, like the old 80s pistons patches, then i make an exception).
