Special Operations Wolf Patch — Order This Compass Rose Diamond
Design S1667A at a glance
A diamond patch with a grey merrowed edge, centered on a wolf head set over a compass rose. Three text fields hold a unit name, an operations line and a founding year, each of which restitches. The grey, navy, white and black palette is already muted, so the patch sits naturally on dark tactical uniforms.

About this wolf and compass rose diamond
Wolves are a favorite with tactical teams because they hunt as a pack, and the compass rose beneath this one adds a sense of direction and reach. Turning the patch on its point as a diamond gives it a sharper, more aggressive stance than a shield, and the four cool colors keep it serious. It is built for teams that want identity without bright color.
Adapt it as needed: your team or unit name in the top field, a revised operations line, your founding year, or the wolf redrawn snarling or howling. 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.

Special operations wolf patch questions
Is there a blackout version of this diamond?
Yes. It embroiders cleanly in blackout, coyote or ranger green because the wolf and compass read by outline. Preview each colorway in the markup tool.
Can the wolf be redrawn in a different pose?
Yes. Snarling, howling or a full-body wolf all work, and we redraw at no art charge. Your proof shows the new wolf over the compass before production.
What size suits a helmet?
2.5" to 3" point to point. We tighten the lettering on your proof so the unit name stays readable at that size.
Can our team name replace the top lettering?
Yes. The unit name, operations line and year each restitch to your wording, and the 4-hour mockup shows every field placed.
How do I mark up changes?
Circle elements, pin numbered notes and switch colorways with the markup tool in the quote form. The marked-up diamond goes with your quote automatically.

This page covers one wolf diamond. The police designs alongside this compass-rose wolf diamond sort shields, stars and rounds by division, from patrol to K9.
