Announcing
the one, the only:

Teen-Beat
Embroidered Patch
Our Teen-Beat embroidered patch features our Teenbeat "infinity logo" in black and white with a striking bright red border. It includes detailed instructions on how to apply the patch to your denim jacket, a jacket made from a different material, hat, jeans, backpack, shirt, footwear, or anything else your mind can dream up.

It can be affixed the old fashioned way, by sewing, but also features a heat seal backing for those who would like to use a hot iron. Please exercise caution regardless of which method you use. The patch measures approximately three and one half inches wide and two inches tall.
