Oakland Athletics Patches

Oakland Athletics Embroidered Patches

Green and gold have been tied to this franchise since long before Oakland, going back to the team’s Philadelphia days in the early 1900s. That history is actually visible in the patch designs here, not just the current “A” logo but older pieces too, which makes this collection more varied than most single-city team lineups.

Take the elephant, for instance. It has nothing to do with baseball on the surface, but it’s been the team’s mascot symbol since Philadelphia, brought back over the years as a nod to that earlier era. The oakland a’s elephant patch tends to catch people off guard who only know the team from its Oakland years.

Championship-wise, two seasons stand out enough to get their own patches. The 1973 world series patch covers the middle year of a three-peat run in the early ’70s, while the 1989 world series patch marks the earthquake-interrupted series against the Giants, still one of the stranger championship runs in league history. Both are stitched to match their specific season’s on-field design rather than a generic trophy template.

For anything more everyday, there’s the standard green “A” on a gold-outlined circle, simple enough for a cap or bag without needing much explanation.

Construction stays consistent across the collection: embroidered thread, not print, so detail work like the elephant’s outline holds up over time. Iron-on, sew-on, and Velcro backings are all available on these oakland a’s iron on patches, depending on how permanent you want the placement to be.
