SWAT Eagle Patch — Order This Diving Eagle and Lightning Round
Design S1818A at a glance
A round patch with a black edge and an eagle in a steep dive, with lightning bolts. Lettering carries a short top line and the SWAT team line. Tan, black and slate keep it subdued from the start, so it sits on tactical kit without a separate low-visibility run.

About this diving eagle SWAT round
A diving eagle captures what a tactical team is for: speed, precision and commitment once the call is made. The lightning bolts reinforce the speed. Rather than the bright eagle-and-banner treatment common on department patches, this round uses tan, black and slate, so it reads as a working tactical patch first.
Put your agency name and team designation in the lettering, add a team number, or switch to a full-color eagle 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.

SWAT eagle patch questions
Is this subdued enough for a plate carrier?
Yes. Tan, black and slate already reads low-visibility. For full blackout, we stitch it in black and charcoal only.
Can we add our team number?
Yes. A number can sit beside the eagle or replace the top line of lettering.
What size fits a helmet?
2 to 2.5 inches across. The eagle and bolts are simplified slightly at that size on your proof.
Can the lightning bolts glow?
Yes. Glow-in-the-dark thread for the bolts helps teammates identify each other in low light.
Do you make PVC versions for kit bags?
Yes. The same art molds as PVC with hook velcro, and many teams order embroidered and PVC from one quote.
