We thought our customers would get a kick out of seeing some of our most impressive embroidered patches, categorized by theme. Hence, we're beginning a new series entitled "Top 10 Countdown." The first theme in this new blog series is Dragons.

When it comes to sports jerseys and uniforms, many organizations opt to have their logo or insignia embroidered directly onto their garments in an attempt to avoid affixing dozens of embroidered patches themselves. But could buying embroidered patches separately be more cost effective?

The main purpose of the Native American Fire Fighters Association patch is, of course, for Native American awareness. Each member of the association owns one, and many collectors own one as well. This patch is one of a kind—Spider does not trade them, but makes them available for $8.00 each, with shipping.

The Carters Martial Arts Patch is a simple one—simpler than the majority of martial arts patches Stadri has designed—but it works for them, as it blends well with the students’ uniforms, becoming the perfect complement.

SHAPE stands for Supreme Headquarters of Allied Powers in Europe. The SHAPE Bowling Association was created in the early 70's at SHAPE Belgium, and has taken care of all the bowling leagues in an international environment since 1970.

Winnipeg is the capital city of the province of Manitoba, and is ranked as Canada's sixth sunniest city year-round. The interesting patch you see to our right belongs to the Winnipeg Chapter of the Southern Cruisers Riding Club, a family friendly motorcycle rider's club dedicated to riding safety and fellowship.

Sustainable Resources is different from the majority of charities out there today. Working primarily in Malawi and Kenya, their aim is not necessarily to provide ongoing financial support, but rather, to be a technical and educational resource and to provide start-up assistance.

We made patches for the Quadriciser! The Quadriciser is a passive, isometric, motorized therapy machine that offers hope to many individuals unable to use conventional equipment.

Wilderness Medicine Outfitters uses custom embroidered patches as tools of recognition for its thousands of students, with most of them being placed on Back Country Care Givers packs and jackets.

The larger size of a back patch is great for showing fine details. Hogzilla's logo makes for a fantastic patch that makes great use of the space showing the individual hairs on the hog's head.
