About this vintage engine star-cross design
Rope borders and ornate crosses come from the era of hand-painted engine doors, so this patch carries a heritage feel that newer departments rarely get. The vintage engine at center ties the art to the company's history, and the flames give it motion.
Set your station number, department name and squad line, change the founding year, recolor to black and gold, or replace the engine with a drawing of your own antique 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.
