The Original 7 Mercury astronauts wore the NASA insignia on their spacesuits and nothing else. They were permitted to personalize their flights by naming their space "capsules" as they were referred to in those days. There was no project patch for Mercury as there was for subsequent projects. The patch above is a souvenier version that was made after the Mercury project was over. It shows the asronomical symbol for the planet Mercury and the number 7 honoring the "Original 7" astronauts.
