Police Embroidered Patch Featuring Bar Harbor Maine State Seal Farmer Sailor and Pine Tree

Description

This custom police embroidered patch was designed for the Bar Harbor Police Department in Maine, featuring the full-color Maine state seal rendered in exceptional detail — a farmer, sailor, pine tree, moose, and North Star composition that captures the official state emblem with remarkable thread precision on a deep black twill base.

Shape & Base: Tall rectangular shape with squared lower corners and a rounded arch at the top on heavy black twill fabric with a bold purple merrowed border edge. The arched-top rectangle is a classic police patch silhouette that provides a generous center field for the large circular state seal. The black base and purple border create a striking, distinctive framing combination uncommon in standard police patch design.

Top Section: “POLICE” is embroidered in large bold gold block lettering centered across the upper field, sitting cleanly against the black twill with strong contrast and generous character spacing — the single department word filling the upper width with commanding visual weight above the state seal.

Center: A large circular Maine state seal dominates the entire center field, framed by a gold outer ring. The seal interior features a rich purple background with the full official Maine state coat of arms at center — a detailed heraldic shield depicting a tall green pine tree at center with a brown moose reclining at the base, flanked by a blue sky and green landscape on either side within the shield. A farmer in tan and brown clothing stands to the left of the shield holding a scythe, and a sailor in white uniform stands to the right holding a ship’s anchor — both figures rendered in fine full-color embroidery with accurate costume and tool detail. Above the shield, a gold five-point North Star is positioned at the top of the seal with a small white ribbon banner beneath it bearing the state motto “DIRIGO” in fine lettering. Below the shield, a light blue scroll banner with “MAINE” embroidered in gold lettering completes the official state seal composition at the base.

Bottom Section: “BAR HARBOR” is embroidered in large bold gold block lettering centered across the lower field beneath the state seal, matching the weight and treatment of the “POLICE” text above and completing the municipal identification with strong symmetry across the full patch face.

Embroidery Quality: The black base with purple border and full-color Maine state seal creates a bold, jewel-toned composition with exceptional detail density at the center seal. The farmer and sailor figures achieve impressive costume detail — individual clothing elements, tools, and postures are all rendered in fine thread work. The pine tree shows branch-level definition. The heraldic shield’s landscape elements are cleanly color-separated. The North Star and motto banner are legible at small scale. The moose figure at the base of the pine tree is accurately proportioned. The purple merrowed border provides a clean, durable finish that reinforces the patch’s distinctive color identity suited for active police uniform wear.
