About this badger and ladder Maltese badge design
Badgers are known for digging in and refusing to quit — a good fit for rescue units that do technical and confined-space work. The badge-shaped outline makes the patch feel official, and the Maltese cross keeps it unmistakably fire service.
Rename the department and rescue unit, change the year and motto, swap the badger for your own mascot, or recolor the field to black. 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.
