Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the University of Chicago Police patch?

It is a round white patch with a maroon border and maroon embroidery. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO arches around the top and POLICE curves across the bottom. At the center is the University coat of arms: an open book above a phoenix rising from flames.

What does the phoenix on the patch represent?

The phoenix rising from flames is the official emblem of the University of Chicago, symbolizing renewal and rebirth. It appears on the University coat of arms and is reproduced at the center of this police patch in maroon line work.

Why is the patch maroon and white?

Maroon is the official color of the University of Chicago, paired here with a white twill base. The single-color maroon embroidery gives the patch a clean, traditional look that matches the university brand and its campus police uniforms.

Can you make a custom campus police round patch like this for our department?

Yes. A round patch with arched lettering and a central university crest is a flexible template. Our artwork team can swap the crest, university name, colors, and border to match your campus department, with a free proof before production.

How much does a patch like this cost, and what is the minimum order?

Estimated pricing runs from about $17 each at 10 units down to roughly $2 each at 1,000 units, with no setup or mold fee. The minimum order starts as low as 10 pieces, so smaller runs for a specialty unit are welcome.

Do I need credentials to order a patch with the University of Chicago Police name on it?

Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the University of Chicago Police are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. University police and campus-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or renamed designs are welcome without that step.
