Vintage Patch California Seals Custom fitted

In 1966, the NHL announced that six expansion teams would be added as a new division for the 1967-68 season, officially because of a general desire to expand the league to new markets, but just as importantly to squelch the Western Hockey League's threat to turn itself into a major league. The San Francisco Seals were one such team from the WHL, and after it was purchased by Barry Van Gerbig and moved across the Bay to a new arena in Oakland, the Seals joined the NHL. The Bay Area was not considered a particularly lucrative hockey market, but the terms of a new television agreement with CBS called for two of the expansion teams to be located in California.

The Falcons had their first season in 1966, and their first game (preseason) on August 1, 1966 losing to the Philadelphia Eagles. After losing their first nine games that season, their first victory was on the road against the New York Giants. The team finished the 1960s with only 12 wins. The Falcons had their first Monday Night Football game in Atlanta during the 1970 season. The 1971 season was their first with a winning record.

The guy that I got these off of said that his dad worked at the spot that made them and he had so many different patches that some would go into a shoe box never to see the light of day.

The guy on the patch that looks like Frankenstein, I would guess to be Frank Leahy.

I have a couple more of these patches and plan on making some other colorways.

The Teams of Leon Day Customs

1934 Silver Moons


1922 Baltimore Black Sox



1950 Mexico City Reds




1935 Brooklyn Eagles



1949 ELITE GIANTS BALTIMORE




I was commissioned by the widow of the Hall of Fame Baseball player Leon Day to make some reproductions of the teams he played for.

Leon Day (October 30, 1916 - March 13, 1995) was an American right-handed pitcher in the Negro Leagues. He played for the Baltimore Black Sox, the Brooklyn & Newark Eagles, and the Baltimore Elite Giants.

He was born in Alexandria, Virginia. Day is noted for pitching a perfect season in 1937 (13-0) while playing for the Newark Eagles, and for his fastball. Day was also a good hitter and baserunner, batting .320 in 1937.

From 1935 through 1946 he appeared in a record seven East-West All-Star Games, and set an all-star record by striking out 14 batters. Also, in 1942 he set a Negro League record when he struck out 18 Baltimore batters in a single game - including Roy Campanella three times.

When the Negro League was in the off-season, Day played winter ball in Puerto Rico. There he established a Puerto Rican record of 19 strikeouts.

During World War II Day served in the United States Army, landing on Utah Beach on D-Day. He was discharged in February 1946, and later that same month, he pitched an Opening Day no-hitter against the Philadelphia Stars.

In 1950 he left the United States to play in Canada for a year. The next two years he returned to play in the minor leagues, then returned to Canada to finish his career.

Day retired from baseball in 1955. He died of a heart attack in Baltimore, Maryland at age 78, just six days after learning he had been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Leon Day was the 12th Hall of Famers chosen in the Negro League category to date, and the 7th to be selected while he was still living (Paige-71, Buck Leonard-72, Irvin-73, C.P. Bell-74, Judy Johnson-75, and Dandridge-87 the others). Day is the only Hall of Famer to be enshrined into the Hall with a cap of a team outside the mainland United States; his plaque depicts him as a "Aguadilla Shark" (Los Tiburones de Aguadilla), the Puerto Rican team for which he had once played.

Dayton Areos Custom Fitted

The Dayton Aeros was one of the founding teams of the World Hockey Association (WHA). The WHA formed in 1971, and this league sought to create a new professional hockey association to rival the National Hockey League. The WHA existed from 1971 until 1979.

On November 1, 1971, Paul Deneau established the Dayton Aeros in Dayton, Ohio. Unfortunately for the team, Dayton residents did not embrace the squad, and the Aeros also failed to find a suitable arena in which to play its games. Before a single game occurred, Deneau moved the Aeros to Houston, Texas, where the squad became known as the Houston Aeros.

Logo is heat transfer on hand cut and sewn felt.

New Orleans Saints Custom Fitted

The brainchild of local sports entrepreneur, David Dixon, (who also founded the Louisiana Superdome and USFL), the Saints were actually secretly born in a backroom deal brought about by Congressman Hale Boggs and NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle. The NFL needed congressional approval of the proposed AFL-NFL merger. To seal the deal, Rozelle arrived in New Orleans within a week, and announced on, coincidentally, All Saints' Day -- November 1, 1966 -- that the NFL officially had awarded the city of New Orleans an NFL franchise; Boggs' Congressional committee in turn quickly approved the NFL merger. The team was named for the world-famous jazz anthem, "When the Saints Go Marching In," . John W. Mecom, Jr., a young oilman from Houston, became the team's first majority stockholder. The team's colors, black and gold, symbolized both Mecom's and New Orleans' strong ties to the oil ("black gold") industry. Trumpeter Al Hirt was part owner of the team, and his rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching In" was made the official fight song.

Logo is vintage 80's patch.

Montreal Royals Custom Fitted

The Montreal Royals were a professional baseball team located in Montreal, Quebec, that existed from 1897-1917 and from 1928-60 as a member of the International League and its progenitor, the original Eastern League. The Royals are most famous as the top farm club (Class AAA beginning in 1946) of the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers from 1939 to 1960.

The team's nickname was derived from the city name, which means "Mount Royal". Thus the full team name, like that of the Los Angeles Angels and the Philadelphia Phillies, had a built-in redundancy.

The team holds a unique place in baseball history as being the first major-league affiliate to break the so-called "baseball color barrier", when the Brooklyn general manager and part-owner, Branch Rickey, signed Jackie Robinson, an African-American, on October 23, 1945. Robinson played with the Royals during the 1946 season.

Logo is hand cut and sewn felt.

Baltimore Monumentals Custom Fitted

The 1884 Baltimore Monumentals played 105 games during the regular season, won 58 games, lost 47 games, and finished in fourth position. They played their home games at Belair Lot where 45,000 fans witnessed their 1884 Monumentals finish the season with a .552 winning percentage.

Albany Polecats Custom Fitted

The Albany Polecats were a minor league baseball team in Albany, Georgia. They were a low-A class team that played in the South Atlantic League, and were a farm team of both the Montreal Expos and the Baltimore Orioles during the franchise's tenure in Albany. They played all of their home games at the Paul Eames Sports Complex. While at Paul Eames Sports Complex during their tenure, the stadium was dubbed "Polecat Park", albeit the stadium was named after Paul Eames, a minor league baseball legend. During the team’s four years in the South Atlantic League, the Polecats never finished higher than eighth overall in the fourteen-team league. Coupled with poor attendance by the Polecats, this proved too much to bear for the struggling franchise. Prior the 1996 season, the Albany Polecats were sold and moved north to Salisbury, Maryland, where the franchise became the current-day Delmarva Shorebirds.

Logo is actually from an on-field Proline Albany Polecats fitted from 1994.
