A maroon shield with a gold border and a winged Spartan helmet at center, with gold and silver carrying the emblem against the maroon. Department lettering frames the helmet with a founding year below, and every line restitches to your agency. Maroon is rare on police shields, which is exactly why this one stands out on a wall of navy.

About this winged Spartan helmet shield
The Spartan helmet has become shorthand for the warrior-guardian ideal in police training culture, and adding wings lifts it from gym-shirt graphic to formal insignia. Maroon and gold give the shield a collegiate, ceremonial weight, and silver adds a metal note. It's a strong fit for departments that want tradition without the usual eagle.
Make it your department's: your city name across the top, the year you were founded at the base, or the helmet recolored to your academy or training-unit colors. 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.

Spartan helmet police patch questions
Can this shield be made in navy instead of maroon?
Yes. Any twill color works — navy, black or green — and the gold border and helmet carry over. Preview colorways in the markup tool and your quote references the one you choose.
Can we add our academy class number?
Yes. The founding-year line at the base can carry a class number, a graduation year or a unit designation instead. Your mockup shows the exact wording.
Will the helmet crest look right at cap size?
At 2.5 inches we simplify the crest lines slightly so they stitch clean; above 3.5 inches the full detail holds. You approve the proof either way.
Can we get a PVC version for bags?
Yes. The same art molds as a PVC patch with hook velcro, and both builds can go on one quote.
How do I send changes to the design?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle the helmet or lettering, pin notes and switch the colorway. The marked-up design rides along with your quote.
Want a different emblem on the shield?
If a helmet isn't your department's symbol, the police shield designs beyond the winged Spartan helmet run from classic eagles to K9, marine and campus emblems. Deciding between embroidered and PVC for training gear, or planning to build a design of your own? The patch guide for Spartan helmet builds in PVC and embroidery walks through materials, backings and volume pricing.
