Why no Furies patch?

Post by Godfather »

Just wondering why no one (Alexfugazi or Charloots the main sales persons) has not started selling the Furies patch.  I mean the cotume or at least the Jersey is easy to obtain in the states, a consumer could go to any sporting goods store a buy a cheap version of the Yankees jersey and iron on the patch.  I know Alexfugazi sells the whole costume, but the patch seems like it would be a popular collectors item.

You know, that's something we considered.  There was someone selling embroidered patches on eBay, but they were already attached onto the jerseys, with a jersey selling for around $80.00 (ours sell for $39.99).  In the movie, the Furies jersey has a silkscreened logo, not embroidered, so with film accuracy being our main goal, we went with that. 

Hope that helps!

An embroidered patch would show up raised off the garment, and it would hang differently.  If you look at the movie closely, you'll see what I'm talking about.  Of course, if someone can prove I'm wrong, I'd totally be open to it!  I've looked pretty closely though...

Sound reasonable.  I just thought the patch would be cool cuz it could be applied to other items, like vests or t shirts, jackets, sweaters, pull overs etc.

A-1 has the patch for around $50 if anyone is interested.  I found the link off of this site.  http://a-1americanflags.com/patches070.html
