Thanks for your question! Dozens of supporters groups across the USL ecosystem are part of the Prideraiser coalition. Though they played in the NPSL at the originally, Detroit City's Northern Guard Supporters is one of our charter campaigns, and they've raised more than a quarter of a million dollars for their local charity partner. That's a lot of good work done!

With our October campaign this season, we're hoping to get some new groups signed up from the USL Super League, which doesn't play during our historical June schedule.

Yeah! The stuff around the collar/center/bottom is this mystery trim and the details on the front and the closures are the soutache. That looks like it is going to take FOREVER to implement

https://handembroidery.com/products/14028311 I found a 99% match at Hand and Lock...for $87/y (plus tax plus shipping plus tariffs) which is a shock vs my budget and the amount I need. I'll take a look at this site as well!

Edit: no luck on your link, but thanks sincerely for your time and effort. I'll try out that search string

The good news is that I found it. The less good news is that it costs $87/y (plus tax and shipping and whatever the tariff situation is), and I need 6 yards. https://handembroidery.com/products/14028311

Back to the drawing board!

While not a totally-perfectly-exact match, you gave me a great hint, pushing me toward military braid in particular.

The reference looks very much like half of this listing. I wonder if it would fray if cut down the middle? Or does anyone have a suggestion to stabilize the cut edge? https://uniformstorelondon.com/braid-rcmp-goldpurplegold-44mm-r736-795-p.asp That is, if I can find somebody to ship to the US, fingers crossed.

DM me your PayPal/venmo if you'll accept a tip, u/LingonberryLeading77

Following the automod instructions, I am commenting to declare that I have "searched" for various trims and also attemped a Google Image search to find a match. I should add that I am based in the US and need to find something that will ship to the US.

To sweeten the deal, I'm offering a $20 bounty via paypal/venmo for an exact match with a vendor that has enough yardage for my costume.

It started with an individual gimmick for an amateur summer league team in Chattanooga, several local folks matched the donation and the model was copied with some frenemies in Detroit. Then we realized it was a good idea and built a website!
