Today on the seaQuest MPS Blog, an ultimately unused Velcro name patch from the first season. seaQuest had numerous scripting, casting, and producering (if that is a word) changes during its three season run. There were also frequent costuming changes, and not just the switch from the black to the blue uniforms from season one to season two. Something seemingly as simple as name patches went through several iterations during the first season. The first patches had the characters first initial and last name, as seen on the below K. Westphalen patch. While my patch does not appear to have made it to screen, several of these first style patches did. The next iteration for Westphalen, that did make it to screen as seen in
To Be or Not To Be, replaced her first initial with an acknowledgement of her doctorate, hence Dr. Westphalen. Later on in the season, as seen in
The Good Death, costuming added another line to the patch to indicate that Westphalen was part of the MED-TEAM.

Below the jump, a few more images from the first season showing the changing name patch styles
Scenes from
To Be or Not To Be. Ford's patch is still the first initial/last name style, while Westphalen's has her as Dr. Just ignore lurking Bridger in the background.
Soon in the first season, however, Ford's patch was updated to include his rank as Commander, shortened to CDR, as seen below from
Games.
By the time of
The Good Death, Westphalen's patch has been altered again to reflect that she was part of the MED-TEAM.
