Overland Bound Regions!

[Kevigizmo]

Thinking about the commercial aspect of these badges I still feel that a single badge covering the whole of the UK would be the way to go. I would even say that would be the same for every country outside of the US with the possible exception of Canada.

It depends on uptake and "demand" for it so we will see in coming weeks I would think [emoji4]

Oh gees! The very cute "Adventure is Necessary" sticker and patch just appeared in the store just now. I reloaded the page just now.

Do I wait for a while to see if anything else appears over the next day or so or submit another order? I hate making decisions.

A patch has just turned up

2 Northwest Region patches, and 3 Necessary patches ordered. Excited

I was just thinking a trip with the aim to visit each region and collect a patch would be a great adventure. Could make a great gps navigation event!

It would be interesting to do that visit the different regions

 

[Ryan Matthes]

Yes - both the Regional Patches and the Adventure is Necessary (sticker and patch) went live on the store while we were at Expo. The regional patches were certainly a hit - we sold out of both West and Soutwest on day 1 - with lots of members waiting to get them from the store so they could get their member number on them.

Expo was awesome.

Looks cool, forgive my ignorance but what do the symbols and colors represent?

it's a map of the Great Britain and each of the four countries are represented by their own flag. England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales

Northern Ireland is still part of the UK.

You are very welcome! Since I was born in London, England and reared in Ireland, I have had a deep interest in British politics and culture. The British Isles have a rich and varied history and has always fascinated me. My family is spread far and wide across most of the United Kingdom. Even the history of the iconic Union Jack is cool and its inclusive design is very clever!

Much has changed over the years and continues to change. I recently watched a very good video on Youtube, which goes into some detail regarding the differences between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England. I will post it below in case you find it interesting.

That was awesome. Not sure I can remember it all lol but sure opened my eyes to how all those "countries" connect. Thanks.
Ps.. since I drive an Xterra I like the Scottish flag most !

thanks for the clips, it was interesting but I don't entirely agree with it all. I must admit that when it comes to the Union Flag I do get irritated when it is flown incorrectly. I guess it's due to my near quarter century in the Royal Navy. So much for the "patriotic" members of the British society who simply don't fully understand their own flag. Alternatively they're just simply ignorant. I have enclosed two flags below, the first is correct and the second is incorrect. In addition the term "Union Jack" historically was only used by members of the Navy and so "Union Flag" was generally used elsewhere.




Thanks all

I'd love a West Patch with my number on it! This is too cool.

You're in luck. It is now possible to order it from the store. I ordered a West Patch with my number on it last Sunday morning. I assume that it will take a while for them to be individually inscribed with your member number and shipped as they are probably going to be very popular. I'm excited though to finally receive it and add it to the still-to-be-shipped-and-installed headliner on my Jeep JK Unlimited. You live in Sunnyvale, we're neighbors!

I just went over to the store and ordered one with my number on it. I wonder if they would do stickers, I'd totally put one on the Land Rover.

Me too! I look forward to visiting all the regions and collecting them all. Just have to build up my vacation time in work first.

 

[Simon Wolfe]

Yeah, that is always the tricky part... You are right we are pretty close. We should meet up some time for coffee.
