Tactical equipment is durable and functional, but it is rarely interesting to look at. Morale patches give you an easy way to customize your equipment, making it easier to identify and better-looking too.
Most tactical bags and vests come with loop panels for attaching patches, so it is easy to attach flag patches, departmental logos or identification. Patches are particularly useful for identifying specialist personnel and equipment such as medical supplies. Not all patches are serious, though. Morale patches like the designs from Violent Little Machine Shop and 5ive Star Gear let you personalize your gear and celebrate the lighter side of law enforcement life. Sure, you might get a few puzzled looks from civilians, but your comrades in arms will love them. Just be ready to cover them up when you're in polite company.
Morale patches are typically either embroidered or made from PVC rubber. Embroidered patches are the traditional option, and are still very popular. The more muted style means that they blend in well with uniforms and tactical equipment. PVC patches can support brighter colors that won't fade as well as sharper lines, making them a great option for more detailed designs and text. They can also be embossed to give them a more three-dimensional appearance than embroidered patches. Some designs also feature glow-in-the-dark colors for a striking appearance in low light conditions. The choice of material also makes them very durable, so they will last well in challenging environments. In either case, hook backs make them easy to attach to and remove from loop panels, so you can customize your equipment as you see fit.
