1994 NFL 75th patches...

I thought I read a post stating that the "real" patches had a name embroidered on the "7" on the patch... something like "Hess." Am I smoking crack here guys?!? Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,
Roger

Here is a real one.

Thanks Roger... along the bottom half of the "7" there is supposed to be a name that is pretty legible (in the same red thread)... I can't see it on your pic.

I believe it is the letters HAY that are sewn into the seven vertically downward. I don't know what they stand for...

Here is a couple others that I have. I have not seen what you are talking about. I examined the ones that I posted with a magnifing glass and see nothing like your talking about.

I was told there some differences in the patches that were on authentic jerseys. I was thinking they had the years on them?

Roger,
I can see it on both your patches. It's there.

[dafivehole]

I was gonna say the same thing... you can see it on both patches you listed.

Thanks,
Roger (the other one)

I did my best to show where the letters are. Sorry for the slopiness, but look at this one and then go back and look at the other pictures and you'll be able to see it.

I ran to check mine and both of the ones that I have with 75th patches on them have the HAV. I'm always a little worried when I read these things that I may find something wrong..but I'm good here.

Does anyone know if the non-game worn ones do not have this on the patch? I love learning these little minor things to differentiate the real deal from some store jersey. Thanks.
