Special Ops Patch — Order This Ram's Head Tactical Triangle
Design S0417A at a glance
An inverted-triangle patch in layered grays with a black merrowed border: a ram's head faces forward beneath snow-capped peaks, with slate-blue accents keeping the design readable at low contrast. The sample team name across the top and the unit designation at the point both restitch to your team, and the ram swaps for your unit's own mascot at no art charge.

About this special ops triangle design
Tactical teams pick their patches differently from patrol divisions: the shape and mascot matter more than the text, and the colorway has to disappear on gray and multicam. This inverted triangle was composed for that brief — a ram's head under mountain peaks in three values of gray, bold enough to read across a staging area, quiet enough for a plate carrier.
Teams typically change two things: the mascot and the point text. The ram redraws to whatever your unit actually answers to — wolf, bear, boar, raptor — and the triangle recuts with your team name up top and call-sign or unit number at the point. Want a full-color dress version to go with the subdued one? Order both in one run. Mark up this design with your changes, or get it quoted exactly as shown; the proof precedes production every time.

Who orders this design

Special ops patch questions
Is this patch only available in gray?
No — wolf gray is the native colorway, but the same design embroiders in desert tan, OD green, and blackout, and most teams add a full-color dress version in the same production run.
Can we use our own team mascot instead of the ram?
Yes. Send a photo, drawing, or AI image of your team's animal or emblem and we redraw it into this layout at no art charge — your 4-hour mockup shows the result.
Does velcro backing come standard?
For this design, yes — hook-side velcro is the default, sized for plate-carrier loop fields. Sew-on and iron-on are available at the same price.
Can a 15-person team meet the minimum?
Yes — the minimum is 10 pieces, and team-size orders still qualify for 7–10 day rush production and the free mockup.
How do we show you exactly what to change?
Open the markup tool on this page: circle the ram, pin a note, type your team name onto the canvas, even drop your own emblem image on it. Everything you mark attaches to the quote.
Tactical patch sorted — what about the rest of the office?
Call-out teams sit inside a sheriff's office, and uniform insignia usually follows. The sheriff department patch lineup from deputy shields to specialty details covers the duty side of the house. For PVC morale versions of a team patch, woven name tapes, or mixed-construction orders, the central custom patches catalog across embroidered, woven and PVC is the wider map.
