Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the University of Florida Police patch?

It is a light-blue pointed shield with a navy border. POLICE arches across the top and UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA curves across the bottom on a navy banner. The center shows a campus scene: Century Tower, an American flag, a rising sun, a palm tree, and a green Florida gator.

What is the tower on the patch?

The tall stone tower at the center is Century Tower, the landmark bell tower on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville. It is one of the most recognizable structures at UF and anchors the scene on this police patch.

Why is there a gator on the patch?

The green alligator is the Florida Gator, the mascot of the University of Florida. It appears across the base of the shield, tying the campus police insignia to the university's identity and its Gainesville home.

Can you make a custom campus police shield patch like this for our department?

Yes. A pointed shield with a full-color campus scene and wrapped lettering is a flexible template. Our artwork team can swap the landmarks, mascot, university name, colors, and border to match your campus department, with a free proof before production.

How much does a patch like this cost, and what is the minimum order?

Estimated pricing runs from about $17 each at 10 units down to roughly $2 each at 1,000 units, with no setup or mold fee. The minimum order starts as low as 10 pieces, so smaller runs for a specialty unit are welcome.

Do I need credentials to order a patch with the University of Florida Police name on it?

Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the University of Florida Police are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. University police and campus-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or renamed designs are welcome without that step.
