Sheriff Search and Rescue Ram Patch — Order This Bighorn Sunburst Design
Design S1551A at a glance
A custom-cut patch with a brown merrowed edge, built around a bighorn ram's head set in front of a radiating sunburst. Tan and brown give it an arid, earthy palette, with gold lighting up the sun's rays. Four lettering lines — a region name, a sheriff line, a search and rescue line and a founding year — make the patch read clearly as a sheriff's SAR team.

About this bighorn ram and sunburst SAR design
Search and rescue teams work the hardest ground in the county, and a bighorn ram is the animal that lives there. Set against a sunburst, the ram reads as dawn on a long search — rugged, watchful and steady. Tan, brown and gold suit dry, open country and the khaki field shirts SAR teams tend to wear, while the custom outline sets the patch apart from the deputies' standard star.
Customize it before production: letter it with your county and team, add your founding year, or switch the sunburst to a mountain skyline if your team works steep, forested terrain. 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.

Sheriff search and rescue ram patch questions

Yes. Reflective or glow edges are available for night searches. Note it in the quote and the mockup will show the effect.
Can the ram become a different animal?
Yes. An elk, mountain lion or search dog can replace the ram in front of the sunburst, redrawn at no art charge.
