The Gemini 11 embroidered patch is clearly visible on Gordon's spacesuit in the detail from S66-50772 shown on the left.
The same patch design is seen in the photos taken of Gordon during the suiting-up for the mission itself as shown above.

The Gemini 11 Crew Patch has a background in a lighter shade of blue than any of the replicas.
The unusual appearance of the
back of this patch indicates that it was likely produced by the same
manufacturer as the Gemini 5 Crew Souvenir patch, the GTA-6 Crew patch, and the Gemini 7 Crew Souvenir patch.
