Ok so we know the NFL wanted to change the captains patch for players who were captains for longer then 4 years, hence the 4 stars that would be shaded gold. Well captains who play a role in being a captain longer then 4 years will feature a GOLD C logo rather then the ordinary white C from preveous years. So for some one like Drew Brees there are 4 stars shaded gold and the Captain C in middle of patch is shaded Gold aswell.

Thoughts?
