In Iowa, we have a patch trimmed in different colors depending on one's level of accomplishment. In other words, you pass the closed book test, your patch is trimmed in green (approved). Then you start working your way up, demonstrating rules knowledge on tests, working V games, getting playoff considerations from coaches, and other stuff, you go to being trimmed in gold (recognized), then blue (certified) and finally purple (superior). That all having been said, I see very few guys who actually wear patches no matter their level of accomplishment. Our state allows for a flag and they encourage us to wear a small red patch, trimmed in gold, that says 'Say No to Drugs.'
