Yeah, I wondered what was up with the creed patch after I got mine and noticed it differed from the one in the catalogue. I got mine a few weeks ago and it's got the smaller patch and the skinny stripes.
I agree that maybe the version in the catalogue was the prototype and that the version that they ended up sending to the stores was different. I looked back at the original catalogue from last summer/fall (the white one, with "Coach 65th Anniversary" on the front in gold) where they first introduced the Legacy stuff and the stripe wristlet shown there is the same as in the current catalogue (large creed, fat stripes).
