The earth-tone palette and the cougar make it a natural fit for backcountry and mountain-terrain special operations units.

About this snarling cougar arched shield
A mountain lion is the apex predator of high country, and showing it in a snarl over mountains and forest makes the intent clear. The green, tan and brown palette is naturally subdued, so this patch works on field uniforms without a separate colorway. The arched top gives a long place name room without crowding the cougar.
Customize it with your agency and unit names, change the division line, or recolor the cougar for a full-color dress version. 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.

Mountain lion police patch questions
Can we change the animal?

Yes. The green, tan and brown palette already reads low-key. Coyote and black versions are also available.
Can we change the division line?
Yes. The division line, place name and founding year all restitch to your wording.
