Wulapeju Issues Patches Designed for Centennial Uniform?

Wulapeju 140 S53?
Previously I wrote about a CSP issued by Eswau Huppeday 560 and a flap from Catawba 459 that were specifically designed to match the new BSA “Centennial uniform“. It had been wondered if other lodges would issue similar patches. Now I get word of two issues from Wulapeju lodge with a similar color scheme, apparently designed to match or blend with the new uniform. Thanks to Bruce Shelley for supplying me this images.
The flap, pictured on the left, uses a symbol similar to that found on the Blackhawk Area Council T-1. This is a stylized profile of Chief Blackhawk. I have listed this on the site as the lodge’s “S53?”.
There is also a CSP shaped patch, which I have listed as “X29?“. This patch also uses a similar design. In addition to the lodge’s and council’s name the patch bears the name of the council’s two primary camps: Lowden and Canyon.
Does anyone know if these patches were specifically designed with the new uniform in mind? Have any other councils or lodges issued patches with a similar color scheme, or specifically designed for the Centennial uniform?

Yes, they were designed with the new uniform in mind. There is a lodge flap and CSP, and now we have a dangle patch that our lodge is selling as a fundraiser for NOAC.
