You might have heard the saying 'don't bring a knife to a gun fight'. This phrase doesn't necessarily have to be about a fight?the point of it is that you need the right type of equipment or skill for the job. This phrase connects to the Don't Pick A Fight With An Old Man Patch, which also gives good advice about any situation. The full text of this Sayings Patch reads, 'Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to fight he'll just kill you'. The patch has two guns on either of the upper right corners.
So how do these two sayings connect? The first tells you to be correctly equipped before attempting a task (or a fight). The second reminds us that old people don't play fair! They won't fight you, they'll just pull out a gun and shoot you. Don't bring a knife to this type of fight; be ready to deal with treacherous old people! If you are one of these old people, this patch is a nice way of letting those younger than you know that you're not to be messed with. You won't fight them, you'll straight out put them down.
Most of this saying patch is done in white, but the last four words (He'll just kill you) are larger and in red. That way, people are sure to see them. The patch measures 4 by 1.75 inches, and while most of it is rectangular, the two guns at the top make it irregularly shaped. This patch has die cut borders to make it easy to sew it on to leather, plus the iron-on plastic backing makes attaching it to other materials a snap.
