Design S1357A at a glance
A green-edged round with a crown set above a portcullis gate, with chains and a pair of crossed spears completing the emblem.

It's a heraldic patch for a campus that guards its gates.

About this school security crown and portcullis design
A portcullis is the oldest symbol of a guarded entrance, which makes it an apt emblem for a school security team. The crown above it gives the design a collegiate, heraldic feel, and the crossed spears and chains add strength without looking aggressive in a school hallway. Green and gold read as school colors rather than law enforcement, which is often exactly the point.
Order it with your school's name in the top arc, its founding year below and your team title on the lower line — or recolor the field to match your school 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.

School security crest patch questions
Can the crest match our school colors?
Yes. The green and gold recolor to any school palette, and the markup tool lets you preview each option before you request a quote.
Can our school's own crest replace the portcullis?
Yes. Send a photo or PDF of your crest and we redraw it inside the round at no art charge, keeping the security unit line.
What size suits a polo or blazer sleeve?
Most schools order 3.5" to 4" across. At that size the portcullis grid and the chains stay distinct.
Is woven better than embroidered for this design?
Woven captures the fine heraldic lines slightly sharper at small sizes; embroidered has more texture. Both price from the same 10-piece minimum.
How do I request changes?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the crown, gate or lettering, pin notes and switch colorways. Your marked-up version attaches to the quote.
Need a different campus design, or the wider catalog?
