Help with a patch?

**ryau27** · 02-25-2016, 02:19 PM

I'm thinking about bidding on this beauty to add to my Drouin PC. In any case, there are about 5 of his Cup ARPs on eBay right now, and I was hoping to snag one of them. However, this one is definitely is a bit more unique because of the texture of the patches.

I have two main questions about this patch.

Where on the jersey would this patch have come from? (I can't figure it out for the life of me)
How many colors would you classify this as? It's advertised as being 5 colors, but it's definitely not (maybe 5 breaks). I'm having trouble determining if the bottom right corner of the patch is white or silver.

Thanks in advance!

Nice patch on that one. I'd say 3 colours at least, maybe 4 if those blues are different. My guess is it's a shoulder patch.

I am also going for this one, how much you think it will end at? I was thinking $1500?

That patch is from the jerseys the Lightning wore when they won the cup back in '04. I have no idea why UD would use those jerseys for a Drouin card so that part I can't explain. But that patch is for sure from the shoulder patch on these jerseys. It looks like there's a bit of white jersey on the top left of the patch so its from the home jersey.

If the 04 Lightning jersey is correct, I wouldn't be surprised. UD makes players wear a bunch of jerseys, even if the team doesn't wear them anymore. More types of patches for UD I guess.

It's a rookie card, and with VERY few exceptions (Drouin is not one of them) that means the patch came form a Photoshoot jersey, not a gamer. The patch could be anything, because those photoshoot jerseys get loaded up with extra patches so they can make more patch cards.

Thanks for the help with the jersey identification, I think the '04 jerseys make a lot of sense. I personally think it's 3 colors with 5 breaks. Still, it's a nice patch regardless of where it originally came from.

So did someone here wing the auction? It saw that it went for $635.99.

The back of Drouin's Cup rookies say that it's event-worn, so that's just likely a piece from a patch they sewed onto a jersey so they could create these "sick" five-color patches. That's not from a game-worn jersey.
