Phoenix Fire Shield Patch — Order This Maltese Cross and Hydrant Design
Design S1618A at a glance
A gold-edged shield carrying a phoenix spread across a maltese cross, with an axe and a fire hydrant worked into the design. The whole patch runs warm — red, gold and orange — so it reads like flame from a distance. Lettering fields hold a department name, a fire department callout, a founding year and a line for the department's mission, all rewordable.

About this phoenix maltese cross shield design
The phoenix is the fire service's favorite symbol of renewal, and setting it on a maltese cross ties that idea to the oldest emblem in firefighting. Adding an axe and a hydrant keeps the design grounded in the actual work. The all-warm palette is a deliberate choice: without a cool color in the mix, the shield glows like an ember on a dark station uniform.
Make it your department's: letter the shield with your name, founding year and mission line, recolor the phoenix to your department colors, or add a station number to the cross. 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.

Phoenix fire shield patch questions
Can the phoenix be recolored to our department colors?
Yes. We can stitch the bird in blue, white or any thread color and keep the flame accents. The proof shows the new palette before production.
Can we add a station number to the maltese cross?
Yes. A station or company number fits at the center of the cross, under the phoenix. We size it on the proof so it stays readable.
Will the all-warm palette blend together?
No. We separate red, gold and orange with outline stitching so each element holds its edge. Your 4-hour mockup shows the contrast.
Can we get it in a maltese cross shape instead of a shield?
Yes. The art can be cut to a maltese cross outline with a merrowed or hot-cut edge, and both versions price the same.
How do I mark changes on this shield?
In the markup tool on the quote form, circle the phoenix or cross, pin your notes and switch colorways. Your marked-up version goes with your quote.
