This is a patch of a roller derby skater. It's made on felt, so don't let the moths eat it. This is an extremely rare patch and is likely only in a small handful of collections. The position of pivot was added in 1939, so this patch is likely from the 1940s.
Roller Derby Patches is also on Facebook. Join us there.
This site is run by Stephen ("Axis of Stevil") Lorimor. If you enjoy it, please consider supporting the site.
1. Submit pictures -- both new patches and better pictures of what's on our site.
2. Email me with your comments, corrections, bug reports, suggestions, pictures, etc. You can also message me on Facebook.
3. Donate extra patches. This website (and the database of patches) required more than a hundred hours to build and the website costs money to run.
Like all of derby, this is a labor of love so I won't ask for money... but I will accept donations of derby patches. You can send your extras to:
Stephen Lorimor
50 Springholm Drive
Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922
USA
All patch donations will someday be bequeathed to a suitable roller derby history archive for future generations to enjoy.
If you include a note with your name (derby or otherwise) I'll give you a shout out on the website.
