I'll add my two cents, even though no one cares. For me personally, ill buy a patch because I know the money is going to a good man's family. The patch could have a unicorn flying over a banana phone and other such random shenanigans. It's more about the charity, not how cool it looks. On a more serious note, people should be arguing over who has a better beard, chinole or psc. My vote is chino, he looks like a scary genghis khan.

Well I cut if my beard years ago. Got tired of it getting pulled in mosh pits and burning it from cigars so I'll have to go with him too

These.



And yes, I agree. I personally didn't know Ron, I just knew him as the guy who owned Gearbox and he knew me as "that redhead guy who buys the broken guns from his store." I'm doing this, like Sgun480 said, because the money is for a cause. In the end that's what this is about. We're all gathered here to support a family with their loss, not bicker over patch designs or who knew Ron the longest. I personally found some people(s) behavior here unnecessarily juvenile. I for one will be purchasing a patch regardless of which design we ultimately agree on.

Still rockin' my same old Classic Army M4 from back in '05. She's getting old, but she's been good to me.

Now that things have settled down.....

PSC, when you first posted the patch design, people seemed to get confused. You didn't include any information about it or who designed it. The thread turned from "hey guys lets come up with a design together," to "hey so we are having these made." Hence why Red Devil mentioned that we could get more of the community in for a collective design that meant more to the community as a whole. That being said.....

The thread had more or less stalled before PSC posted, and knowing more about their design and knowing that the Bilodeau family had a part in it, I'd be willing to purchase one.

I hope this might have cleared up the source of the confusion.....

You guys need to relax with anything not germane to the development of a prospective patch.

I would advise everybody to not post again until they have an actionable design in mind. This five page thread has yielded one design and it didn't even result from this thread.

If this devolves any further, the thread will be locked.

I talked to Butler patches today and got quotes for 50 and 100 of the patch. I am not sure how many to go with so I would like to get a rough estimate please pm us with how many you would like to buy. We will probably be selling them at $5 a piece.
