About this eagle and anchor EMS round
Anchors on an EMS patch usually point to water — a coastal, harbor or river service — and pairing them with an eagle and the Star of Life on a gold star creates a dense, crest-like emblem. The ornate round outline frames all ten lettering fields without crowding the center. Navy, red, gold and white give it the formal weight of a ceremonial seal.
Every field is yours to word: set your values, service name and division, or simplify the layout by dropping some of the ten fields if you want a cleaner look on a smaller patch. Order the full version for dress wear and a pared-down build for daily duty. 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.

Eagle and anchor EMS patch questions
Can we remove some of the ten lettering fields?
Yes. Drop any field you do not need and the remaining text is rebalanced on your proof. Fewer fields work better on patches under 4 inches.
Do the anchors have to stay?
No. Keep them for a marine or coastal service, or swap them for another symbol that fits your area — redrawn at no art charge.
Can the gold star be stitched in metallic thread?
Yes. Metallic gold is available on the star, eagle and border, and the proof shows where it is placed.
What size do you recommend for this layout?
At least 4 inches on a sleeve. For caps, we usually suggest a simplified version with fewer lettering fields.
How do I send our changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle the anchors, pin notes on each lettering field, switch colors. Your marked-up version attaches to the quote.
Looking for a simpler EMS layout?
If ten lettering fields is more than you need, the EMS patch designs with leaner layouts than this eagle and anchor round include shields and rounds with two or three lines. For backing, size and quantity questions, read the patch guide sizing an eagle and anchor round for sleeves and jackets before you order.
