Sheriff Embroidered Patch Featuring Androscoggin County Maine Dive Team Star and Dedicated to Service Motto

Description

This custom sheriff embroidered patch was designed for the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team in Maine, featuring a bold gold seven-point star with a full-color scuba dive flag inset — a specialized law enforcement patch identifying the department’s underwater search and recovery unit with the motto “Dedicated to Service.”

Shape & Base: Wide shield shape with a notched upper center indentation and rounded point at the bottom on rich chocolate brown twill fabric with a black merrowed border edge. The dark brown base provides strong contrast for the bright gold star and yellow lettering, creating a warm, authoritative two-tone foundation for the specialized dive team design.

Top Section: Two lines of arched gold embroidered block lettering fill the upper field — “ANDROSCOGGIN” on the first line and “COUNTY SHERIFF” on the second — both curving to follow the shield’s upper contour with consistent weight and clean character spacing against the brown twill base. The two-line stacked treatment accommodates the long county name while maintaining strong visual presence across the upper field.

Center: A large seven-point star in bright gold satin-stitch thread dominates the center field, with each rounded point radiating outward toward the shield edges — the seven-point sunburst star style giving this patch a distinctive silhouette compared to standard five or six-point law enforcement stars. At the star’s center sits a circular inset with a white outer ring bearing the international scuba diving flag — a red rectangle with a white diagonal stripe running from upper-left to lower-right, rendered in full color as the universal symbol for dive operations. Below the flag within the circular field, “DIVE TEAM” is embroidered in bold gold lettering. A small curved gold banner with “MAINE” in dark brown lettering is positioned just below the dive flag circle, providing clean state identification integrated directly into the star’s center composition.

Bottom Section: A white scroll banner with gold outline borders spans the lower field beneath the star, with “DEDICATED TO SERVICE” embroidered in gold block lettering centered within the scroll — the department motto completing the patch with a clean, classic law enforcement service statement.

Embroidery Quality: The brown base with gold seven-point star, full-color dive flag, and white scroll banner creates a rich, well-layered composition with strong contrast across all elements. The seven-point star’s rounded satin-stitch points are smooth and consistent with clean edges. The scuba dive flag is accurately rendered with clean red and white color separation. The Maine state banner and Dive Team text are legible at small scale. The motto scroll banner is cleanly stitched with consistent thread coverage. The black merrowed border provides a sharp, durable edge finish suited for active dive team uniform wear.
