Abstract A garment having a flat panel is provided with a clear, flexible plastic sheet window. One member of a hook-and-loop fastener is affixed to the perimeter of the window. The second member of the hook-and-loop fastener is affixed to the flat panel of the garment in a pattern matching that of the first member on the window. Any sheet or card bearing indicia may be removably displayed on the garment by simply laying it on the garment within the space enclosed by the second member of the fastener and covering it with the window which removably seals it in place when the two members of the hook-and-loop fastener are pressed together. To change indicia, one pulls the window off the garment, replaces the indicia bearing sheet, and presses the window back in place. The invention may be supplied in kit form for application to a garment of the user's choice.
A garment for displaying interchangeable indicia, comprising: a garment having at least one substantially flat panel; a flat window means constructed of flexible and clear plastic sheet material and having a perimeter portion defining its outer edge, said perimeter portion including a top edge; and a first continuous gripping surface means permanently affixed to the entirety of said perimeter portion; a matching second continuous gripping surface means affixed to said flat panel of said garment in a pattern corresponding to that of said first continuous gripping surface means to provide a space upon said panel and within said pattern for receiving a sheet bearing said indicia, said first gripping surface means is removably engaged by said second gripping surface, in which said first gripping surface means and said second gripping surface means cooperate to seal the entire edge of said flat window means, including said top edge, to said panel and thereby completely seal said indicia therebetween.
