Changed in an unknown year

The Plumbing honor originally was a black silhouette on a red background. 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 Plumbing. The Vocational category was brought back after a large outcry and the designs are now back to a red background. The new Plumbing honor kept the white tap used in the Antique era instead of black tap previously used when revived on the red background.
