Spot the intra-pant themes

I have sewn eleven patches and one ribbon onto my jeans of awesomeness now. The theme is still red, yellow, blue, and white patches from organizations that I do not belong to. Hoorj for eBay and WWII-era patch designers!

NTC and BSA

I don’t know what the yellow teepee is, but the one on the right is a Boy Scouts patch.

Army and Chi Phi

The one on the left is an Army Service Forces patch; the one on the right is a Chi Phi patch.

lots of patches

Upper left: Army Communications Specialist patch. Lower left: Fleet Marine Force Pacific Supply & Service patch and 15th Air Force patch. Upper right: Spanish Royal Rangers patch, which I had to put over a disintegrating Native-American-style ribbon. Lower right: Fraternal Order of the Eagles patch.

My friends question whether all of the patches are really necessary to cover up holes, but they are! Really! (Most of them.)

Those jeans look like a four-hour old Windows installation.

Google tells me that the NTC Teepee patch is also a "Royal Rangers" patch. (Not, as I was thinking, an Army National Training Center patch, but close, in a way.)
