Betsy Ross Flag Patch

Betsy Ross Morale Patch

This United Defense patch puts the Betsy Ross flag, the early American design with thirteen stars set in a circle, onto a small embroidered rectangle sized for gear. Morale patches are the unofficial insignia people add to packs, plate carriers, caps and range bags to show where they stand or what they care about. This one suits anyone who wants a Revolutionary-era flag on their kit instead of the modern fifty-star version.

Features

• Betsy Ross Flag Design — Thirteen white stars ring a blue canton, the square field in the upper corner, beside thirteen red and white stripes.
• Full Embroidery — The whole face is stitched in thread rather than printed, so the stars and stripes have raised texture and solid color.
• Full-Color Rendition — Bright red, white and royal blue thread gives a traditional flag look, not a subdued tactical tone.
• Gold Merrowed Border — A merrowed edge, a tight overlock stitch wrapped around the perimeter, frames the flag in gold and keeps the edges from fraying.
• Rectangular Flag Format — The landscape shape matches the standard flag-patch layout used on shoulders, packs and hat panels.
• Distinct Stitched Stars — Each of the thirteen stars is embroidered individually, so the circle stays readable at a small size.
• United Defense Make — It is a commercial patch from United Defense, built for everyday gear rather than issued as military insignia.

Patch Construction

The patch is fully embroidered edge to edge and finished with a gold merrowed border, which is the construction most morale and flag patches use because it holds up to handling and repeated moves between items. The red, white and blue color scheme makes the Betsy Ross design easy to recognize from across a room. It works as a standalone piece or alongside other patches on a loop panel, cap or bag.
