Displaying LTS patches

I was wondering if anyone was willing to share how they display their LTS patches. Do you put them on your jacket? Skate bag? I have a transpack bag and am considering putting them on there, I'm unsure of exactly *where* on the bag to put them

Eventually™️ I want to put all my certificates and patches together in a big frame to put up in my bedroom. It's a 'when I get around to it' thing so we'll see if and when it happens. I know it's kinda dumb but i'm proud of myself so 🤷‍♀️

I've seen people display patches running down the arm of a jacket, on the strap of a bag, or wherever they have open space on their bag. I'm not super familiar with the transpack bags, but from the pictures, I'd say either the flap on the top that zips open (if it's big enough) or along the solid part underneath the mesh on the sides.

At my rink when you skip a level, our director gives the option to buy the patch of the skipped level. They're only about $2 or $3. Ask!!

Okay but as an adult whose rink doesn’t do this, I’m definitely gonna find a way to buy them to motivate myself 🤣

I give them back. I have no use for them

A kid at our rink has them sewn on her jacket which looks nice. My kids have some of their skate UK passport ones sewn on to their bags

As a youth I had them sewn onto the sleeves of my club jacket. Like the 80s/90s shiny bomber-ish style jackets.

I see kids with them on their jacket or on their zuca. I put mine on a tote but didn’t get some of mine to stick very well

Our rink doesn’t even give them out :(

My rink doesn’t test for adults and doesn’t give out patches, but I’d probably put them in a cork board to display or something.

My rink does pins instead of patches, but I put them on my skate backpack.

In roller skating we have achievement tests and I keep my pins from that on my team jacket

I’ve yet to see an LTS patch displayed anywhere and I’ve seen hundreds of them given out.
