About this centaur archer university police design
University departments often want their patch to carry campus identity, not just a generic eagle, and a mythic archer beside a castle tower does exactly that. The tower signals the institution, the laurel signals scholarship, and the centaur gives the patch a mascot-driven character students recognize. Dark green with silver keeps it formal enough for a sworn department while staying clearly collegiate.
Customize it to your school: swap the centaur for your own mascot, redraw the tower as a campus landmark, update the founded year, or change dark green to your school color. 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.

University police centaur patch questions
Can our mascot replace the centaur?
Yes. Send a mascot logo, a photo or a sketch and we redraw it beside the tower at no art charge. The proof shows your mascot placed before anything is stitched.
Can the castle tower become a campus building?
Yes. A photo of a clock tower, library or gate is enough for us to redraw it into the badge in the same stitch style.
Is there a subdued version for tactical vests?
Yes. The centaur, tower and laurel stitch in a single tone on tan, OD green, gray or black twill. Preview each option in the markup tool before you request your quote.
Can we leave out the founded year or motto?
Yes. Any of the five lettering lines can be reworded or removed, and the remaining lines rebalance on your mockup.
How do I request changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the centaur or tower, pin numbered notes and switch colorways. The marked-up version attaches to your quote automatically.
