For Sale from Red Sales:

Lady Godiva
Purchased for $30, this patch depicts our patron saint during her time of sacrifice for her people. Read the story here.

The Knight

Purchased for $30, this patch shows a knight.  There are many trains of thought over what this patch might represent.  Some believe that it is Godiva in armour—covered up during the times when the University threatened UBC Engineering (your EUS) with student fee-freezes if Godiva was ever printed in any publication or article of clothing; some believe that it is Godiva’s husband…but why would we make a patch about a tyrant?; and finally some believe that the knight represents the Engineer—following in Godiva’s footsteps, ever sacrificing.
