Skate and Annoy has a patch, sure, big deal. No it is, actually, you should buy one. I just got these patches from long time friend of S&A known as Orezona. He’s got a side gig designing and producing limited edition patches and apparel. Most of them are taco-related, but a few choice ones fall under the Skate and Annoy purview.
Patch runs are usually limited to 100 pieces and come with a nicely designed card denoting the number. The patches are all velcro backed, which is something I don’t quite comprehend the use of, but I suppose it makes them look nicer, longer, if you are throwing the object in the wash.
This one is called Rollerplank or Perish, and it slays me… The skateboard truck is metallic thread.
Hey who hasn’t had a few Slamms? Sure, they’re a bear, but it’s worth it. (Stop me…)
This is some sort of bizarre Powell / Natas mashup called the Ripper Kitty. It’s huge. Sad kitty needs a nap.

Thanks Kilwag! Not going to bore your readers with the details about it fully but the velcro on the back makes them “morale patches”. For you know… Boosting MORALE. Been awesome designing these things over the years and having it turn into a side gig has been surprising and fun. Had to add some skater-themed patches into the mix. Keen eyed observers may notice the SLAMMS bear is a design I did as part of an alternative logo for sleestak.net back in the day. Basically just co-opted it as a patch. Appreciate the plug and glad you dig these misfits of thread and velcro…!
