Maybe I didn't word it correctly but let me take another shot at what my point is.
I don't buy fishing gear cause it has someones logo on it. I buy a sweatshirt cause its warm. My last 2 hooded sweatshirts were purchased about 4 years ago. They were $45 each. They are very heavy , warm and durable. I had to drive to Maine to get what I wanted but that's OK cause a good one lasts for years. I would like to put a S-B logo on a good hooded sweatshirt like that. Logo makers aren't going to stock $45 sweatshirts so they can sell a $5 logo.
The same goes for my canal jig bag. That isn't all that expensive but I shopped for a couple years to find one that was "just right" to replace my old bag which was over ten years old and tearing up. . I expect the new bag to last ten years too. No logo guy is gonna stock 50 different bags so there is one just right for a Canal Jig bag! The only way I can get a logo on the bag I want is to have a logo I can put on myself. The patch is just a way of doing that. Stickers would work but I don't think a sticker would last 3 weeks on my jig bag. A patch would last ten years.
Anyway , the point is , I'm looking for a way to get an S-B logo that I can put on "top of the line" fishing clothing and gear. I'm not looking for a shirt , I'm looking for a logo I can put on the shirt I determine is best for fishing in.
Sure , I'll buy a T shirt cause I like the logo but it will be worn to a S-B "Too cold to Fish" gathering. If I do wear it fishing , it will be a layer or two down where it can't be seen. On the water , I'm dressed to fish and couldn't care less about a clever logo. I just want something I can put on better gear to let people know I'm an S-B guy and they should stop and say hello. To me , that's the value in having an S-B logo on your sweatshirt or bag or hat , etc.
Does that make sense?
