How can you mess up a Patch design?

 

From @mets on twitter

This thing is huge, takes away the skyline patch(unless it’s on the right arm) and just looks to me like it was designed by an amateur. Isn’t there any way that it could have been made rounder? Maybe blue with orange lettering with white drop shadow and a blue border outside the patch? Maybe place it above the the skyline? I don’t know. Maybe?
