Doesn't think the patch feels appropriate anymore. :-/
They'll need a better patch for the last shuttle flight.

I thought Black Friday was February 20th?
The AMS permanent magnet has been completed and shipped from Aachen, Germany to Geneva, Switzerland yesterday.
The last space shuttle mission
What will the next manned ship be for NASA?
We've been working on it in L2 for a week - still waiting for an official FAWG/Manifest CR for an article - but it's apparently STS-133's slip has started to get mentions on another sites, so we'll note where we're at prior to an article with documentation...
...this mission is likely slipping to February.
So what exactly is causing the delays?
The official AMS-02 Twitter account said:Aachen team is now back in the clean room, to dismount the ACC...almost ready for the "switch"!!!
Couple of facts for this mission
1) Final Space Shuttle flight
2) Final flight of Endeavour
3) OBSS left on ISS
4) Last EVA's preformed by a Space Shuttle
5) Last science related Shuttle mission payload (AMS-02)
Feel free to add on
why are they going to leave the OBSS at the station?
The official AMS-02 Facebook page said:A few hours and we'll say "goodbye" to the Superconducting Magnet.
The official AMS-02 Facebook page said:12 years from the AMS-01 flight on STS-91. Happy birthday AMS-01!!
The official AMS-02 Twitter account said:The changeout of the AMS magnet is complete and was successful. We are beginning reintegration in Geneva.
