On the official jerseys, the patches are stitched-on. For the patch I just ordered (and got), they're ironed. The 3" patch is DEFINITELY the correct size, by the way. The patch I ordered is definitely a knock-off and has its shortcomings, but for the price it's actually nicer than expected. Here's what I got: The patch looks like it's stitched, and even has some 3-D elements to it, but it was clearly mass-produced and is a clever knockoff. The proof is when you flip it over: The backing isn't heat-activated glue (like most iron-on stitched patches are), it's got a paper backing you peel off to expose the glue. In essence, it's an upgraded fabric-based sticker hybrid. The front is fabric (you can feel and see the stitching), and the backing shows the raised SUPER BOWL lettering (which is what you feel on the front), but the rest of the patch is very nice, thick, sticker. And the glue is very, very sticky. I don't think it's gonna come off anything once it's stuck on.... although putting it fabric could be a challenge. I went ahead and put it on my Burrow jersey and applied a dry iron to it. The heat will hopefully cause the sticker bit to adhere more solidly to the jersey material. It looks like this: It's not tilted.... The base of the patch/sticker IS aligned with the Bengals wordmark, it just looks a little low on the right side because the jersey is on a hangar. When laying flat on the ironing board everything lines up. IMPORTANT - If you get/got this patch and decide to iron it like I did, do it dry - no steam. Also, don't move the iron around when pressing it onto the patch, just press the iron straight down and hold it for a couple of seconds then lift off. I don't trust the artwork on the front to not be damaged if a hot iron is dragged across it, and I'm certain that getting it wet would be a bad idea. Now that it's on, I don't expect it will come off, though I will NOT test that theory by putting it in the washing machine. Would I recommend this....? well, if you can get to the Pro Shop or a reliable sporting goods store that has actual SB LVI patches for sale - the kind you can sew or iron on - I would go that route. I have several Stanley Cup 2019 patches I got from the Blues Shop in St Louis when I was there during the playoffs, and I'm expecting the Pro Shop at PBS will have the real deals as well. If you can't then these $6 patches are a decent solution until/unless you can get your hands on an authentic one. I'm okay with what I've got, although I think I'll probably pick up a 2nd jersey at the Pro Shop next time I visit and will get one from them that's pre-patched.... assuming those become available.

Mine should be here tomorrow. Thanks for finding that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeslumina Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 It’s weird how if you lose the other team didn’t beat you. We beat ourselves. Pats win oh the defense really stepped up. I pray we get one more week where the opponent beats themselves, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishBengalFan Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Tonight's night class via Zoom. The patch looks pretty good, and the hat just came in from eBay today. It's clearly a knockoff, but at least it came in before the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stuck with my order from the NFL shop and they are saying it will be here Saturday. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeslumina Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I rewatched this game the end of 4th they were playing games thinking they would score and end it. The week 17 game we kept ball and scored at very end that is what they were trying to do. Don’t play with a tiger you might get eaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tears were not for the team winning, they were due to feeling/sharing the emotions of long-suffering Bengal fans. An excellently pieced video.
