About this engine, hydrant and water drop oval design
An oval is friendlier than a cross or shield, which is why volunteer companies like it for recruitment shirts, community-day polos and fundraising gear. Keeping the art to navy and gold also keeps per-piece cost down — useful when a company orders for members, juniors and auxiliary at once.
Put your company name and station number in the arcs, change the motto, switch gold to red, or replace the engine with a silhouette of your own apparatus. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.
