    Patches for cosplay uniforms?

    Hi all, so I already have an SG1 cosplay uniform and am looking to add one for Atlantis, and possibly one for either Odyssey or Daedalus. For Atlantis I liked the seasons 4-5 look more than the original uniforms. My question is, other than an Atlantis logo patch (I already have one), what would I need to complete the look? Also if you have suggestions for the jacket part itself I would appreciate that too. I’m thinking either red/Command, Blue/science, or green/technician for the accent.

    If I were to do a flight suit for Daedalus or Odyssey, which patches would I need for those? From what I remember those uniforms are mostly the same other than the ship designation. Thankfully I don’t need to finish the project right away, as none of the Stargate actors are scheduled for conventions in my area this year.

    Thanks
    Cast I've met: Richard Dean Anderson , Amanda Tapping , Michael Shanks , Christopher Judge , Lexa Doig, Alexis Cruz, Michael Rooker, Sean Patrick Flanery, Paul McGillion , Jason Momoa , Jewel Staite

    If you can swing it: the sleeve patches in both SG-1 and Atlantis appear to be held on by velcro, so to be "correct" I'd suggest cutting a piece of velcro to the shape of the patch (slightly smaller though so it doesn't show) and sewing that to the sleeve, and then its matching velcro piece to the back of your patches.

    Also, Atlantis patch goes on the right arm, your country's flag patch goes on the left

    To the best of my recollection they didn't wear any kind of rank insignia, so that's one less thing to worry about!

    That sounds right. I remember Woolsey and Sam in red, and McKay in blue. I don't specifically remember green (which is not me disagreeing with you, I just don't remember ). There's also that yellowish colour for medical, which we saw on both Beckett and Keller.

    Ah, the ship uniforms differ rather more...

    As you can see, they wear something more in line with a real-world one-piece flight suit, it's not separate pants and top. I see...
    - built-in collar
    - built-in belt(?)
    - no epaulets, but cloth rank insignia sewn in to shoulders
    - a zipper that runs full length from collar to genitals
    - diagonal zipper pockets on both breasts
    - vertical zipper pocket on upper left arm but not upper right
    - ship patch on upper right chest
    - leather name/rank/wings patch on upper left chest
    - Stargate Command patch on upper right arm
    - unit? patch on right arm bicep below SGC patch
    - Patch on upper left arm that varies between Earth and Pegasus depending on the episode

      The green one is for the gate techs. You often saw Chuck wear one

        looking for a flight suit on ebay might actually be cheaper to put together a Daedalus or Odyssey uniform than an Atlantis one lol

            Any advice on what kind of jacket to use for Atlantis uniform (on base)? My goal is lightweight so it would be comfortable to wear at conventions but also provide a little warmth since I’m in Seattle area.
