Earlier designs of this patch. See all outdated insignia.
The Masonry honor originally had a small black shovel with a brick background. Later, Vocational category was completely retired and labeled as antique. During this time, the patches were produced with a gray background. This is the example seen here with Masonry. The Vocational category was brought back after a large outcry and the designs are now back to a red background. The shovel, however, was kept gray.
