Chevrolet Sports Dept. Information?

[72heavychevy]

Lots of great information here!

Does anyone have any sort of Sports Department merchandise catalog?
I'm sure there had to be one at some point. There's so many items (even shown in this thread) of hats, jackets, posters, patches, stickers, etc that I'm sure there is brochure advertising all of these. Probably something that came out in early 1970?

Below is a sports department jacket with a red outline patch on it. The gold outline patches look nice and do seem to be from the era but also seem to be somewhat "off script" from what Chevrolet was using for promotion in its literature. This is why I feel if you're going to ask what logo was used when, don't go by the patch, go by what is in official Chevrolet advertising materials.

That's a great point, patches don't seem like the most consistent as there are so many variants I've seen.
