Changed in 2002

The Vocational category was once completely retired and labeled as antique. During this time, the patches were produced with a gray background. This is the example seen here with Barbering (later renamed Barbering & Hairstyling). The Vocational category was brought back after a large outcry and the designs are now back to a red background.
