Manufactured Patches

Letterman

Letterman are manufactured letter patches. Unless noted below, there is one letter patch for each letter in each player's full name.

Each individual patch is serial-numbered and the aggregate number of patches for each player is listed below. Since all patches for each player are produced in equal quantities for each player, the number of individual patches produced can be calculated by dividing the aggregate number of patches listed below and dividing by the number of letters in the player's full name (or alternate phraseology).
