Nine select boutique retailers in North America and Europe have designed one-of-a-kind patches that embrace the culture specific to each retailer\u2019s respective community.

Travel the world, collect them all:<\/p>\n

Maven (Burlington, VT)
\nDrawing inspiration from military matches, Maven created a patch design that incorporates a vintage military look with a 60s rebellion vibe. The new artwork complements their first design from last year\u2019s project, which was vintage motorcycle inspired. For Maven, the bird has become an icon and this particular patch design is a reworking of its logo.<\/p>\n

TRUE (San Francisco, CA)
\nTRUE wanted to create a unique patch design that was representative of its home city, San Francisco. In the patch design, you can see elements such as the \u201cSF\u201d which represents San Francisco, and a single star that represents California.<\/p>\n

Benny Gold (San Francisco, CA)
\nBenny Gold\u2019s patch artwork complements the classic backpack theme of education. Basing the design on traditional university emblems, Benny Gold incorporated one of their brands well known sayings \u201cKnowledge is Golden\u201d into the patch artwork. There is also a hidden message in Latin integrated in the collegiate-inspired design.<\/p>\n

KCDC (Brooklyn, NY)
\nThe patch design for KCDC was inspired by their new store logo. Simple and to the point, the artwork is representative of the skate shop.<\/p>\n

Complex (Vancouver, BC)
\nComplex created unique embroidered patches, a clever flip on typical touristy travel patches, combined with some of their favorite notable golden era rap quotes. Backpacks have always played a part in hip hop culture and Complex wanted to integrate the quotes in their patch design. “Got my man’s back like a JanSport knapsack!”<\/p>\n

Off The Hook (Montreal, QC)
\nThe patch artwork for Off The Hook is nostalgic and reminiscent of Montreal’s \u201967 Expo emblems. Beyond representing the shop itself, these emblems represent Montreal\u2019s iconic culture, heritage and a feeling of homecoming.<\/p>\n

Group 7 (Calgary, AB)
\nThe inspiration behind Group 7s patch design was solely based on their shop. The logo, size and positioning maintains traditional branding, while incorporating the clean and classic appeal of the store.<\/p>\n

Loop (Uptown Waterloo, ON)
\nLoop introduces their unique Canadian heritage to the iconic silhouette that is the JanSport Right Pack. Their patch design was inspired by a classic Canada Post letter mailing stamp used in the early 1930\u2019s. It was designed and crafted for people who appreciate the stamp of an individual rather than a production line. <\/p>\n

Street Machine (Copenhagen, Denmark)
\nSkateboarders are constantly scouting the city for new possibilities. Street Machine created a scout style badge inspired by a manhole cover to imbue a city feel. The badge features the Copenhagen skyline taken from one of the Street Machine deck graphics and a wreath representing the shop\u2019s location on Kronprinsensgade (translation: The Crown Prince’s Street).<\/p>\n
