The pins may not be the best solution, but they are a little bit better way to showcase your awards on your uniform, in my opinion. If my teams had been given patches for Best Mission, Best Mission Patch, and Spacebowl then I would have a total of 5 round Space Camp patches on my flightsuit that looked nearly identical until you saw them close-up. Perhaps Space Camp should explore different solutions for awards, either in a patch, pin or some other form.
How about the option to choose
either? I mean, they go down the line of people on the team handing the things out, they could tell you that you have the choice of a pin or a patch. That'd be especially good in the case of people who value one award over another when the team won more than one. For example, I was
very proud of my teams winning best mission patch twice because I personally designed and drew said winning designs. Someone who's team won, say, best mission might not value that award nearly as much when they were in the ISS at the time, so a pin would be better for them.
Let 'em decide. Beats me why they couldn't do that.
The stack pins are, in my mind, a little cheesy mostly because you can buy the very same ones at the gift shop. It's a letdown for people who think they earned it just to find they could have just bought one instead if they'd wanted. I've seen that exact reaction twice from people in person.
Not even remotely as 'cool' as this:
