Design S0941A at a glance
A custom-cut patch with a gold edge and a lion in a fire helmet with crossed axes, stitched in red, gold and charcoal. The lettering holds a fire and rescue service name, a founding year and a motto. A lion in a helmet makes a strong mascot patch — bold, recognizable and easy to read from across the apparatus floor.

About this helmeted lion and axes design
A lion wearing a fire helmet blends courage with the job itself, and crossed axes complete the message. Charcoal is the unusual color here: it grounds the red and gold and gives the lion’s mane depth. The custom outline follows the artwork, so the patch reads as a mascot emblem rather than a standard shield.
Customize it with your department or rescue service name, add a station number, or recolor the helmet to match your rank colors. 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.
