I just returned from the 2018 Intruder Association reunion in which I was able to purchase several collections from Pilots/Bombardier-Navigators that were there. In one of the purchases, we picked up a couple of dozen of the ORIGINAL TAILHOOK '91 patches that had Bart Simpson on it. This was the most crippling event in modern Naval Aviation history due to some sexual harassment incidents. One of my old instructors had these he had forgotten about, until he started planning for this reunion. These are very cool, historical, and do not have velcro.
