Motivation[edit]
Organizations whose members wear uniforms often have their distinctive patch however this insignia does not fit well into the coat of arms image (P94) or logo image (P154) category. There might even be instances where an organization has a logo, a coat of arms, a badge (another proposal) and a patch - all different and requiring separate properties. Some positions within the organizations may have their own unique patches. VileGecko (talk) 15:58, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
- Does limiting this to should sleeve make this property too specific? Maybe just "patch"? I'm not sure. BrokenSegue (talk) 04:53, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- Seems legit - some patches are worn on breastpockets or on headgear. I'll change the proposal accordingly. VileGecko (talk) 13:13, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
