Design S1656A at a glance
A brown-merrowed shield with a bighorn ram head set on a six-point sheriff star, stitched in sage green, brown and cream. Three lettering fields carry a sheriff's name line, a mounted patrol unit line and a founding year. The muted western palette is unusual for sheriff insignia, and every field restitches to your wording.

About this bighorn ram and six-point star shield
Bighorns live on the steep, rough ground that mounted units are built to cover, which makes the ram a fitting mascot for riders who go where trucks can't. Setting the head on a six-point star keeps the patch firmly sheriff's office. The sage, brown and cream palette is quieter than most insignia and looks right on a canvas riding coat.
Order it as shown or customize it: put your office and unit wording in the three fields, redraw the ram as an elk or a horse head, or move to a navy and gold palette for a 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.

Mounted deputy patch questions
Can the ram be changed to a horse head?
Yes. A horse, elk or bison head redraws onto the star at no art charge, and the proof shows it before production.
Can we change the unit line?
Yes. The name line, the mounted unit line and the year restitch to your wording on the 4-hour mockup.
Is a navy version available for dress uniforms?
Yes. Navy and gold works well with the ram and star; preview it in the markup tool before you request a quote.
Will sage green read well on a tan uniform?
Yes. The brown merrowed border separates the shield from tan fabric, so the whole design stays readable.
How do I mark up changes to the ram shield?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the ram, the star or any field, add numbered notes and switch colorways. The marked-up shield attaches to your quote.
Want a different sheriff design, or a different starting point?
