Anyone here have an extra SW clover patch they wouldn't mind parting with? Trying to finish a custom jersey for my collection and trying to locate one is almost impossible.

Have you looked into having one custom made? I'm sure you could get the correct size and colors from someone here. It wouldn't be "authentic," but you're doing a custom sweater anyway.

I never bought any or I would give you one. I thought it was a little tacky what they did.

I at least wanted to see if anyone had extras before I go down the custom road, but that's definitely an option I've considered. I'd probably have to get a bunch created if I do that.

On the bright side if I do have to do them custom I can recreate them easily enough.

Tacky??? wow, I guess you would think its tacky too if Maine Hockey puts RG on their hockey sweaters or a sticker on the back of their helmets for Red Gendron this upcoming season.

Do you remember when they sold them? It was years after Shawn died when they needed some money.

I do know that and have no problem with that aspect at all...in fact if they sold them today I would buy some for friends and to put on new items of Maine hockey gear{hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets, vest. etc.}. That is a symbol of Maine hockey and one of the top Coaches in College Hockey and the solid times of the program. That's my take on the "Patch"...as I also think its a collectors item but NOT in terms of making money BUT great memories of Maine Hockey. Have been to many Hockey East Finals in Boston/Regionals and Frozen Fours and have been asked by many on how they could obtain one. **Tyler, looking around my collections and have yet to find a loose one, but if I do I will contact you** Go Maine Hockey...!

Well said. It was so iconic that they retired it in Walsh's honor, which was a nice touch.

I know my dad purchased a few of them back in the day but don't have them anymore thanks to a house fire many years ago.

Thank you for searching, I hope you are able to locate one!

They’re right on the Maine border near Fort Kent and it’s only about a three hour drive so works out good for the parents.

Ill say it again that the best thing Red did was to establish a pipeline with eastern Canada. There is a lot of talent there and given where Maine is geographically we have a big advantage over other teams. It is very nice to see Ben continuing this.

OK, remind us all of the talent Red drew from The Maritimes, or from ANYWHERE...

I would have guessed that you'd be out of Kool-Aid by now. Guess not.

3 hrs from Fort Kent to Orono?? Good luck with that in the winter time.

The interwebs can be a wonderful place. Now you'll be able to order an accurate batch if you decide to set some friends up and make a $$. Sounds like there might be a small market.

I inquired with a friend that sells vintage clothes around Bangor (moves a lot of cool Maine gear) and he mentioned that the SW patches are a popular request he gets so there could be a decent demand for them.

Bob the Screenprinter in Windham does a great job with stuff. If an intro helps, tell him UncleRay sent you - that's the name he knows me by!

Sweetland wasn't chopped liver, and that Purcell guy didn't suck, either...

(I'm going back to thinking that "Drew" is actually Chuckie, trolling incognito. He really needs to take up knitting, already.)
