1976 Mr. Softee, 1976 Quaker Ice Cream, or 1977 Quaker Oats?

I know that the Brett photo is different, I wouldn’t doubt that some or many of them used the same photos.

Reviving this old thread, but I have some similar iron-ons and was wondering if anyone else knows anything about them? The Quaker name is on them, beyond that I'm not sure of anything. The Background design is different from the other iron ons of the period. I tried an image search, and google has never seen them either. They measure about 14x12, so much larger than the other iron ons as well.

TCDB lists them as a 1976 set called Mr Softee Iron-ons. Shows a set with 13 patches. Mr Softee was sold in a lot of places, and probably some ballparks in NE, therefore putting out player patches for the fans. Read where a Mr Softee vendor went after a pretzel truck vendor over a secret spot to sell in NY. Got arrested for battery. (2006 maybe). What a world.

One thing worth noting, Mr. Softee, so far as I can recall, was just comprised of local ice cream truck franchises, with no retail. They MAY have sold it at Shea Stadium at some point in the 70's but I am not all sure on that point.

Sitll wondering about the massively oversized Phillies with different designs from the 1976-77 and the RC Cola, which we're very familiar with. Has anyone ever seen them? See Brian's post above for an image.
