The Gemini 7 embroidered patch can be seen on the sleeve of Lovell's lightweight space suit and on the jacket of the suit tech in a photo (S65-61756) taken during the suiting-up for the flight.

It is also visible in the black and white photo of Lovell prior to entering the spacecraft.

The Crew Patch

The Gemini 7 patch design worn by the crew is that shown on the right. It has no mention of the names of the crew.

As with all the original Gemini patches this is an exceptionally rare patch.

Judging by the relative sizes of the Gemini crew patches as shown in one of the photos above, the Gemini 7 patch appears to be just just 3¼" (maybe 80mm) in diameter.
