Default Corvette Racers Patch

Has anyone seen these patches? Does anyone know what the symbols in the lower left corner mean? They look like symbols from different country's like France and Arab Country's. Is this to represent a Corvette Racing series or venues?
I like the patch and would like to know more about it.
Thanks for the help. :thum

Plus the script is not any generation used by GM....looks to me like some cheap azzz knock-off that a sweat shop did, hoping people wouldn't notice. Probably a big seller at flea markets.

Default Got the point.

I never noticed the R looking like an N. You ought to see my hand writing.
You are correct. Cheap ****. I just like the color and composition.

Other than the obvious "CoNvette" whats the deal with big Jake and the twins on the left side? Maybe this is the patch for C6 owners, the ones reliving their 20's and trying to remember what it was like before Viagra!

Here's some history on the Corvette logo.

The fleur-de-lis appeared on the Corvette logo from the beginning and the number of lines below it varied. Not sure what the "E"-shaped symbol is for or where it came from.

In any event, the patch is most likely not approved or licensed by GM and whoever makes it may get a call from the GM lawyers.
