Here are a few of our ORIGINAL Razorbacks pocket patches & pins from different eras in our history. Note the hand stitching and there no frayed sides from being “uncut” as often shown on a famous auction website. There are several legitimate variations of our patches, but BEWARE! There are many fakes and really poor replicas out there and only one or two that are of sort of good quality. Some are so bad that no self respecting Razorback would even think of wearing one. Sadly, many are being passed off as coming from an “old collection” on a famous internet auction site to get your hard earned money. Don’t buy those patches that have not been trimmed. They weren’t available in VN, so you know they’re bogus. Perhaps some of those counterfeiters out there will see what REAL Razorbacks patches actually look like and start making decent replicas. The last patch depicted is the biggest scam.
This is the “Pig Pin” that the Razorbacks Assn. has had made recently. The materials are different and it has an excellent mounting system on the back. This pin is available to all Razorbacks.

A very early “Pig Patch”.
The patch has morphed and taken on multi-colors.
Our famous and much copied motto has been added to the patch in upper and lower rockers.
The subdued patch. One other style subdued patch exists and it is the rarest of all. (Not shown.)
The last morph/variation of the Razorbacks patch. Steve Bookout, Razorback 3-3 had only five of these patches specially made. They are quite large and are for the backs of flight jackets.
“A scam on an auction site”
The original of this last patch was made for PFC Richard Ball. He sewed it on his body armor to identify it as belonging to him to avoid confusion when scrambling into action. When he Deros’d back home, it remained in Saigon and someone cabbaged on to it. It shows the years and where he served with the Razorbacks and also his last name. He knows and laughs about this patch is being hawked on a famous auction site as “original”, “from an old collector”, or “from an old, extensive, military collection”.
These patches appear to be old & dirty. If one is washed, oh my. What a change! The colors are quite vibrant and the gold thread very shiny. All I can say is Caveat Emptor!
I don’t know who owns this pic, or who sent it to me, but I wish I knew. This is a different Pig patch if ever there was one. Quite interesting!
This is a variation of the original Razorbacks pin. It is of the “beer can” construction in contradistinction to the heavy backed pins with nickle plating. 
This is one of the last Vietnamese made Razorbacks hat or pocket flap pins made. It is the final version and of the “beer can” construction. Very different hog. Less that 150 were made.
TRIVIA: Many of the Razorbacks pocket patches appear to have dust being kicked up by the hooves of the running hog. The numeral “33” is usually easily visible in the dust clouds.
