Sheriff Embroidered Patch for Allegany County with Gold Seven-Point Star Maryland County Seal and 1791 Founding Year

Description

This Allegany County Sheriff embroidered patch was designed for the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland, featuring a bold gold seven-point star with a full-color Allegany County seal inset centered on a deep black twill shield base — a clean, authoritative design anchored by the county’s 1791 founding year and bold gold department lettering.

Shape & Base: Wide shield shape with a notched upper center indentation and rounded point at the bottom on heavy black twill fabric with a bright gold yellow merrowed border edge. The deep black base creates maximum contrast for the gold star, yellow lettering, and full-color county seal — delivering a sharp, badge-inspired composition with strong visual impact.

Top Section: “SHERIFF” is embroidered in large bold gold block lettering centered across the upper field, filling the full width of the shield with commanding visual weight and strong contrast against the black twill base. The single-word department title dominates the upper field with clean, even character spacing.

Center: A large seven-point star in bright gold satin-stitch thread fills the center field, with each point radiating outward toward the shield edges. At the star’s center sits a circular Allegany County seal inset framed by a gold ring with “ALLEGANY COUNTY” arched in small navy or dark lettering around the upper ring arc. The seal interior features a detailed full-color landscape scene — a scenic mountain valley or waterway view consistent with Allegany County’s location in western Maryland’s Appalachian region, rendered with green hills, blue water or sky, and natural landscape elements in fine thread detail. The founding year “1791” is embroidered in gold or dark lettering within the lower portion of the seal ring, referencing Allegany County’s long history as one of Maryland’s original counties.

Bottom Section: “MARYLAND” is embroidered in large bold gold block lettering centered across the lower field beneath the star, matching the weight and treatment of the “SHERIFF” text above and completing the full jurisdictional identification with strong visual symmetry across the patch face.

Embroidery Quality: The black base with all-gold star, lettering, and border creates a striking high-contrast badge-inspired composition. The seven-point star’s satin-stitch fill is smooth and consistent with sharp point definition throughout. The Allegany County seal achieves good landscape detail at small scale with clean color separation across the scenic elements. The 1791 founding year text is legible within the seal ring. Gold lettering is bright and even at both the top and bottom text positions. The gold merrowed border reinforces the all-gold design identity for a clean, durable finish suited for active sheriff uniform wear.
