Can anyone identify this patch

[sooty]

Happened to be at tingha the other day for lunch and noticed on the way out a plaque at the top of the stairs addressed to the former emperor Denis from a former sponser 2ws thankin him for somthing. In it was I believe all the former emblems of the club from the inception of the eels. Should have taken a photo but it is there for all to see. Couldnt see the emblem in question so dont know the origin of the attached. The plaque is located at the top of the stairs as you come up from the foyer.

The Club was never known officially as the Eels in the sixties or early seventies.
The first time the Eel logo appeared on the Club jumper was 1977 season.

I believe it was 1978. 1977 logo was the aboriginal with the spear and Parramatta written in a banner underneath.

that patch is wanted in three states for various crimes against the commonwealth. it goes by several aliases, including patch, patchy and mcpatchy. the public are warned not to approach it and to contact authorities if they see it.

Cheers sooty.......
I don't get down that way very often, but you have probably confirmed that it isn't an "official" emblem of any kind.

Thanks for that...I realised it was 1978 soon as I posted it, but I didn't get back to change it.
YEP you are correct...

Did she pick this up in Perth?

There was a Perth rugby league team that used the eels mascot. It folded years ago.

It actually looks familiar to me for some reason... I could swear I've seen one before, but can't place it.

Might ask my Gran, something makes me agree it could be a mid-late 70s type of unofficial thing?

I'll check on that carson, I was under the impression that she got it from here (and so was she) but I'll double check. Thanks.

I don't know if this helps, but there's a larger Eel watching over a smaller Eel which could make it a junior district rugby league patch.

There were supporter pins and other items issued in the late sixties and early seventies referencing Parramatta as the 'Eels' and I'm guessing by the style of logo on the patch that it's from this same period.

It could also have been linked to a breakfast cereal, confectionery or newspaper promotion. I'm pretty sure that Smiths used to give away club badges in their chip packets around the late sixties.

Hope this wild speculation helps.

hmmmm - the Parramatta Junior Eels club perhaps? :-k

Interesting thoughts T.M. 4.24. Thanks.
It could well be something along those lines......
