Live Blogging the Jamboree – New Patch Types? Dye Subs
First event where I’ve really seen patches using a new process called ‘dye sublimation’. These first surfaced a few years back at the World Jamboree I believe and I’ve seen some Michael Feigenbaum designed. He said he worked with manufacturers in Asia on the process.
The Merit Badge Midway staff patches have a dye sub center. Here’s a picture of the San Francisco Bay Area Council JSPs:
I don’t know if we’ll call these ’twills’ or a new category. What do you think?

Looks like a new sub catagory introduced to CSP Collecting. Call them what they are “dye sublimations”…”DyeSubs”…

I would say these get handled the same way as silk-screened patches. Of course in the OA world, anything that’s cloth and not woven or solid is an F — including holograms, felt, tie-dye, etc.
Although I think that these days, the “twill”/solid distinction is becoming less relevant.
