Uniform Patches
Author: Rick Cundiff
Almost everyone has worn a uniform at some point in their lives, whether for a job, for school, or as part of the military. Uniforms are a way to show you belong to a particular group or organization, and many different organizations around the world wear uniforms.
Uniform patches are a way to further personalize a uniform. Patches can show which unit a soldier belongs to, or which department a firefighter is from. Uniforms offer a sense of cohesion between members of a group and make them easily identifiable to others.
Many businesses require their employees to wear some type of uniform as a way of branding their business. With employees wearing a standard uniform, customers know that anyone wearing the uniform will deliver the same customer service regardless of where they are. Uniform patches for businesses usually include the company logo, the employee's name, or any awards and specializations the employee holds.
Law enforcement and other emergency response personnel wear uniforms every day. Police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical service employees all have uniforms customized for their individual roles. Every police station, fire department, and EMS team all have uniform patches unique to their location.
Many employees in the field trade patches with other stations or departments as a sign of cooperation between the two. Many people collect patches as a hobby. However, some officials frown upon the practice because allowing civilians to have law enforcement patches can pose a security risk.
Military uniforms are among the most recognizable in the world. Militaries across the world have multiple uniforms for the different situations a soldier will be in. Combat dress, working dress, service uniforms, and ceremonial full dress are just a few examples of the different types of uniforms a soldier can wear.
Each type of uniform has its own set of uniform patches which show the soldier's name, the unit or division he or she belongs to, and their rank. The unit patches that a soldier wears vary greatly in design. Each unit designs a logo that is unique to them. While the actual logo may have bright colors, the patch on the uniform is usually more subdued, so that it blends in with the uniform's camouflage.
