Ball Louisiana Embroidered Patch with Eagle Crossed Flags Pelican Seal and Union Justice Confidence Motto

Description

This Ball Louisiana embroidered patch was designed for the Ball Police Department in Louisiana, featuring one of the most symbolically layered police patch designs in the state — a spread-wing eagle clutching crossed flags above a full-color Louisiana state pelican seal, all set on a rich purple twill base with the state motto “Union, Justice and Confidence” prominently displayed.

Shape & Base: Wide shield shape with a notched upper center indentation and rounded point at the bottom on deep purple twill fabric with a white inner border band and bright gold yellow merrowed outer edge. The purple base is a bold and distinctive choice that gives the gold, black, and white design elements exceptional contrast and a regal, authoritative character throughout.

Top Section: “BALL” is embroidered in large bold gold block lettering centered across the upper field with strong contrast against the purple twill — the oversized single-word city name filling the upper width with commanding visual weight. Directly beneath, a black spread-wing eagle with gold head and beak faces forward with wings fully extended, clutching a gold banner in its talons with “POLICE” embroidered in bold gold lettering within the banner — a heraldic eagle treatment that frames the central flag composition above.

Center: Two crossed flags extend diagonally from the eagle’s talons — the American flag on the left in full red, white, and blue color with white stars on blue canton, and the Louisiana state flag on the right in blue with a white pelican feeding young in the classic Louisiana state bird pose — both flags rendered in full color with accurate detail at medium scale. Below the crossed flags sits a large circular Louisiana state seal inset — a detailed white pelican with spread wings and bowed head feeding young in a nest, rendered in white and gray thread against a light blue circular background. The seal ring bears the Louisiana state motto in navy blue text: “UNION” on the left arc, “JUSTICE” across the top, and “CONFIDENCE” on the right arc, with small scales of justice icon at the top of the ring — accurately depicting the official Louisiana state seal composition.

Bottom Section: No separate bottom text band — the Louisiana state seal with its full motto ring and the shield’s pointed base complete the lower composition, keeping the design cleanly anchored around the pelican seal without additional text below.

Embroidery Quality: The deep purple base with gold eagle, full-color crossed flags, and detailed pelican seal creates an exceptionally rich, multi-layered composition with strong color depth throughout. The eagle’s feathering achieves good wing detail with directional satin-stitch variation. The American flag stars and stripes are cleanly rendered at small scale. The Louisiana state flag pelican and the seal pelican below are both accurately depicted with fine white thread detail. The state motto ring text is legible and well-spaced around the full seal circumference. The white inner border and gold merrowed outer edge provide a clean, layered frame finish suited for active police uniform wear.
