What is that symbol on his left arm?
(lemmy.ml)
Looks like it's this.
Thank you! Regards from Poland hehe
I can't pinpoint the exact unit, but that's an A-37B Dragonfly on the patch. It'd be sometime between the 70s and 80s.
Do you have a larger/better quality image of this?
No
~~Do you have some context that could help narrow it down?~~
Edit: Nevermind, Lemmy just got it like that. Wow.
2x upscale
Upscalers usually don't have context for text or smaller graphics, so the patches don't look much better. Hopefully OP can provide a better source.
Yeah that’s fine, but by doing so someone else will have an easier time recognizing the image or matching the details to their memory
If the upscaler was trained on data that contains that exact patch in other contexts, it'll theoretically be capable of upscaling it properly.
Is it just me or does this look like a photoshop/Ai as the badge on his arm doesn't contour to his name like a sewn or iron-on badge would??
If it's thick enough, then it won't bend that easily. Depends entirely on the badge.
But it should be attached to his sleeve...
I'm not certain that it isn't attached. The fabric might be folded in underneath the badge in a way that makes it seem like the badge isn't completely attached. The shoulder is a place where the fabric will fold, especially if its folding is constrained by a stiff badge at one spot, causing more folding right next to it.
Alternatively it could be that the badge is partially off, with one side having detached due to the stresses of the fabric folding around under it, or it could be on purpose to preserve mobility in the shoulder. The shoulder is also a prime place to snag on something and for the badge to be partially torn off. This is an unfortunately common occurence with student overalls here...
Unless you mean that the badge is in the wrong place alltogether, I don't see any glaring issue here.
Possible but with no other evidence I would reserve judgemtof this man
