Galactica Patches

As those following our eBay auctions are now aware, there are three different versions of Galactica patches used during the course of the series. As with all the battlestar patches in the series, these were all 3.5. The first version is a lighter patch made during the Miniseries, when the show’s backdoor pilot was shot in standard definition film. When Battlestar Galactica went to series, the costume department created better patches made out of a better material with a golden color, thus version two. The third version of the patch was created roughly around and after 2005, the patches were made with a newer, darker brown material as the previous material became unavailable. This third and final style of patch also includes a smaller 2.5″ patch that was used exclusively on the gray sweatpants seen in the series.

Below are photographs of the three patches available, which are presently listed on our eBay auction site.
