USA Flag Shield American Patch 100% Embroidered with heat seal iron on backing for easy application Measuring Size: 2.75x2.75 inches
There are a lot of different flag patches available. Some are pretty standard, while others take the U.S. red, white, and blue and apply it to a different shape or do something a bit unusual with it. The American Flag Shield Patch takes the design and puts it on a shield that resembles the shape of some US highway signs and badges. It features the classic red, white, and blue colors but also adds yellow to make the USA stitching really stand out.
The patch is a bit different because it only really shows half the flag. The stars and stripes sections are about the same, and there's a plain blue area above the stars with USA embroidered on it. If you're tired of all those rectangular flag patches but still want to show your patriotic colors, this is a good option. The thick yellow die cut borders really make the patch stand out, and they're also a little unusual, most patches feature a black border.
Where did this design come from? You'll usually see this shield design for highway signs, but it also appears as an actual shield in a few places. Comic book hero Captain America has a shield that somewhat resembles this shape, although he's more known for the round shield.
This flag can be ironed on to your clothing via the heat-activated adhesive on the back, or it can be sewn on to leather. Need a lot of them? Order wholesale patches if you're a reseller and you'll save some money.
