Again, just trying to spark conversation, but do you think cards with stitching from letters, logos, numbered, logomen, etc. should be called Prime or Patch? Answer the poll and add any comments you think of.

Prime or Patch?
|
Honestly I wouldn't have a preference, except that some cards that say "prime" are just a one-color swatch, and other cards that say "patch" are the same way. I'd just like to see consistency throughout with the terminology. Swatch for your basic jersey piece, and use prime or patch for the multi-color stuff/stuff with designs on it.
I collect Michael Jordan, Mitch Richmond, and Ohio State players (football and basketball) in OSU gear. I strongly prefer 90's-era cards and use newer cards primarily for trade bait!

Panini (well, formerly Donruss and the like) call them Prime, which Topps and Upper Deck call them Patches. And for the most part, when I see someone even list a Panini Prime card, it seems like they still refer to it as a patch. Just seeing what people's preference would be.

In my opinion any Letters, Number, Logo's (team or league) should be called a Patch .. Any seems or sticking should be called Prime
I said patch, but it's really hard to define between patch and prime. Upper deck was just purely lazy in calling something that is clearly just the one color a patch. At least when panini do it (in my experience at any rate), if it is one color there is stitching clearly visible. I have a kenyon martin 2010-11 Donruss production line GU prime that is one color but the stitching clearly puts the piece as being from the shorts waistband.
 Collect Patrick Ewing, Jalen Rose, Kevin Garnett, LaMarcus Aldridge, Jeff Green if you have less than 25 trades, I will ask you to send first.
why cant patches be one color? if they take from the middle of a number...that's still a patch. but in my opinion, not prime, ya dig?
lol. The lingo amuses me.
Thanks for the comments guys, always love clean debates.
