Description
Thin blue line patches have become one of the most recognized symbols of law enforcement support and solidarity. The design—a subdued American flag in black and gray with a single blue horizontal stripe—represents police officers as the protective barrier between civil order and chaos. These patches are worn with pride by officers, departments, and supporters across the nation.
Whether displayed on a duty uniform, tactical vest, memorial jacket, or civilian apparel, thin blue line patches communicate respect for those who serve and sacrifice in law enforcement. Departments often incorporate the thin blue line motif into shoulder patches, morale patches, and memorial designs honoring fallen officers. Supporters wear them to show appreciation for the men and women who protect their communities every day.
At Owl Badges, we’ve manufactured custom thin blue line patches in the USA since 1999, serving police departments, sheriff’s offices, and law enforcement families nationwide. Our patches feature precision embroidery with crisp blue thread that holds its color through years of wear and washing. We offer multiple backing options including velcro for tactical gear, sew-on for dress uniforms, and iron-on for casual apparel.
