A Patch Featuring the Flag of Mexico

Mexico flag patchBikers often wear patches that show where they're from.  For those born in the U.S., there are many different patches featuring state names, etc.  If not, you may have to go with a simple country flag patch.  If you're from Mexico, there's this cool iron on Mexico flag patch.  Even though the patch is fairly small, it features a pretty detailed recreation of the official flag of Mexico, right down to the unique symbol in the center of the flag.

While most flags have colored stripes and some simple decorations, the flag of Mexico features a pretty complicated symbol in its center.  This is an eagle holding a snake in its beak while standing upon a cactus that is growing on a rock that sits in a pond - phew.  There is a lot of symbolism associated with this image.  The image, which also serves as the coat of arms for Mexico, is actually based on an old legend surrounding the founding of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan.  Tenochtitlan was built on the same area as Mexico City, so the legend is still very relevant.

While the flag of Mexico has been changed four different times, the coat of arms has always featured the same symbols, even though they haven't always been drawn the same.  The colors of green, white, and red have always been used for the Mexican flag.  This patch uses the exact same shades of color as traditional flags do, plus extra colors for the coat of arms in the center, making it one of the most colorful small patches around.
