Lodge 560: Cooking Up More…
Posted in 
Eswau Huppeday 560 J15?
This is another new issue from the treasure trove of images sent me by Jimmy Arthurs. Eswau Huppeday recently issued their newest cook team patch. Except several significant color changes, this patch is identical in design to the previous Cook Team patch, listed on this site as “J14?”.
I’m waffling on how to label the border color for this patch. In my opinion it should be a goal of any descriptive system to describe items so that they can be readily identified. (Don’t wind me up here… please) A principle of parsimony should apply. This could mean that the labels, such as of colors, may not be the most technically accurate if such accuracy only complicates identification of patches. My eyes see something like “copper” as an accurate, but confusing description, possibly more reflective of how I see things than actual color. Keeping that in mind, the easy answer for the border color on this issue is “red brown”, RBR.
The listing data is as such:
| Issue | Bdr Color/Type | Bkgd | Name | fdl/BSA | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| J15? | RBR | R | M/C | DOR | Cook Team (2010) | |

RBR seems to be a good description of the border color. However, disambiguation might be easier if the comments column indicated “LBL sky” for the J14 and “ORG sky” for the J15. That’s a difference that leaps out and is to me more obvious than the relatively slight border color change. (And easier to describe than the similarly obvious change in the color of the ground, from GRN to what looks like a dark olive.)
