Fire Department Seal Patch — Order This Maroon Maltese Cross Design
Design S0727A at a glance
A custom-cut patch built around a Maltese cross with a state seal at its heart, stitched in black and maroon with white and gold accents. Lettering carries a department name, a fire line, an EMS line and a fire-rescue line, plus one more field for your own wording — an emblem for departments whose calls run fire, rescue and medical in equal measure.

About this state seal Maltese cross
Black and maroon is a less common fire palette than red and gold, and it reads with more gravity — closer to a dress uniform than a station tee. Setting a state seal inside the Maltese cross marks the department as an official public responder, while the white and gold accents keep the seal and lettering legible against the dark field.
Order it as shown or adjust it: put your department name and service lines in the lettering, replace the state seal with your own city or district seal, or recolor the maroon to classic red. 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.
