It is great that the Royals are wearing a tribute patch this year for Ace, but the design of the patch is lacking. I know it is a memorial but that doesn’t mean it has to look bad. I came up with this simple heart and crown design with Ace or 30 in the center of the heart. I mocked up the patch on a gray and blue uniform and on the outfield mural.
