My org doesn't use stripes, so this is fascinating to learn about!

Stripes basically take the place of another full colored belt in some organizations. In Seido we have...
10th kyu - White
9th kyu - Advanced white
8th kyu - Blue
7th kyu - Advanced blue
6th kyu - Yellow
5th kyu - Advanced yellow
4th kyu - Green
3rd kyu - Advanced green
2nd kyu - Brown
1st kyu - Advanced brown

I’m currently 3rd kyu - advanced green belt. We see a patch on the “advanced” color belts. Many organizations just use a strip of tape to denote the same thing. My next promotion will be to 2nd kyu - brown belt. It’ll be a new and solid colored belt. When I’m promoted to 1st kyu, I’ll be given a patch to sew on my then current belt.

Some schools do a whole new color for each kyu rank, others don’t. In the grand scheme of things, there’s really no difference.
