Shape & Base: Classic shield/tombstone shape approximately 4.5″ tall with rounded shoulders and pointed bottom, featuring a light blue twill base with layered border design—navy blue outer edge with a gold/yellow inner accent stripe that creates a distinguished, institutional appearance.

Top Section: “DEPARTMENT of CORRECTIONS” arches across the upper portion in bold navy blue block lettering on three lines, establishing clear departmental identification with excellent contrast against the light blue background.
rn rn
Center: Three stately classical Greek columns rise prominently at the center, rendered in gold/yellow thread with detailed fluting along the column shafts. An elegant arched colonnade or dome tops the pillars, displaying “1991” within the arch—commemorating the historic unification of Athens city and Clarke County governments. The classical architecture pays tribute to Athens’ namesake, the ancient Greek city, and reflects the historic campus architecture of the University of Georgia.

Bottom Section: “ATHENS-CLARKE COUNTY GA.” spans across three lines near the shield’s point in navy blue block lettering, completing the unified government and state identification.

Embroidery Quality: The patch demonstrates excellent stitch density with refined architectural detail in the classical columns—fluted shaft lines and capital details are clearly rendered. The arched dome displays elegant curves, and the layered gold and navy border construction adds depth. The quality construction ensures durability for daily correctional facility uniform wear.
