A new Trek series

[Nate the Great]

So you're going to argue that most ships had individual emblems, but that for some reason the Cochrane Delta is an exception in that more than one ship used it?

To be frank, I wonder where this nonsense of the separate mission patches came from anyway. All it meant for the TOS crew is more work and expense making these things that could only be worn once. You'd think the penny pinchers would've shot the very notion down. Remember, the different patches have to be made, then sewn onto new uniforms, then not used ever again. They couldn't be replaced, there would be holes and small tears and frays left by the process that would've shown up on screen.
