About this fist and castle shield design
Battlement-cut shields are rare because the crenellated edge must be die-cut rather than merrowed — which is exactly why teams pick them; the silhouette alone separates the patch from every rounded crest on the wall. Grayscale stitching keeps it IR-quiet on dark kit while the lightning fist stays legible at arm's length.
Order it in grayscale as drawn or run the bolts in a single accent color — team-color lightning on an otherwise subdued patch is the most-requested variation. 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.

Tactical task force patch questions
Can our own emblem replace the fist and lightning bolts on this patch?
Yes. Send a photo, a scan of an existing patch, or a PDF and we redraw it stitch-ready at no art charge. Your proof shows the redrawn art before anything is produced.
What colors can this tactical task force patch be ordered in?
Any thread palette. Beyond the colorway shown, this art runs well in wolf gray, OD green or desert tan schemes — preview each version in the markup tool and your quote references the one you picked.
What backing for plate carriers?
Hook-side velcro, full-coverage — partial hook strips peel at the corners under kit abrasion. We back every carrier-size patch edge to edge.
Can the lettering carry our department's own wording?
Yes. Federal and division lines are independent stitch fields. Every text field restitches to your exact wording — name, unit number, or a motto.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle elements, pin numbered notes, switch colorways, and place your own emblem on the patch. Your marked-up version attaches to the quote automatically.
