Alamance County Embroidered Patch with Subdued SRT Eagle and Crossed Rifles

Description

This Alamance County embroidered patch was custom designed for the Alamance County Sheriff Special Response Team in North Carolina, featuring a fully subdued tactical color palette with a centered eagle clutching a dagger above crossed rifles and the 1849 county founding date on an olive green twill base.

Shape & Base: Tall rounded rectangle with softly curved corners, built on an olive green twill base and finished with a clean black merrowed border that traces the full perimeter and reinforces the operational silhouette of the patch.

Top Section: “SHERIFF” arches across the top of the patch in bold black block lettering with “ALAMANCE COUNTY” stitched directly beneath in the same black thread on a curved arch, and “SRT” centered just below in matching black block letters, together establishing the full agency, jurisdiction, and team designation across the upper portion of the patch.

Center: A subdued eagle with fully spread wings dominates the middle of the patch in tan and dark green thread, grasping a vertical commando dagger in its talons. Two crossed M4-style tactical rifles sit horizontally behind the eagle and dagger, stitched in dark green and black thread, together forming the classic special response team emblem framed against the olive twill background.

Bottom Section: “1849” stretches across the lower portion of the patch in bold black block lettering marking the founding date of Alamance County, and a small “(c) Babs Rietzler” credit line sits just above in fine black lettering, completing the full team identification of the patch.

Embroidery Quality: Dense satin stitching delivers crisp edges on the lettering and clean feather definition across the eagle wings, while the dagger and crossed rifles use precise dark green and black thread work to capture the tactical hardware detail without breaking the subdued color discipline. The black merrowed border is tight and uniform throughout, and the olive twill base provides just enough contrast against the tan and black design elements to keep the eagle, rifles, and lettering clearly readable while preserving low-visibility tactical performance.

This design represents premium custom embroidery honoring North Carolina law enforcement tradition and the tactical heritage of the Alamance County Sheriff Special Response Team.
