Navy Supply Corps School Patch

A military patch, officially called a morale patch, is a military ornamental insignia with humorous graphics and statements. They can be used as identification with a particular unit, such as a division or brigade, and are designed to build an esprit de corps with military personnel. British soldiers were the first to wear embroidered military patches in the 1800s but were only worn by officers to signify their higher rank.

The morale patch is usually not authorized directly by the military to be worn on an official uniform but can often be found on military clothing or gear. Patches became an effective way to distinguish between divisions in military units, and the idea soon spread to America. Before the Civil War, military uniforms were remarkably unadorned and void of any decoration.

While back then patches were sewed and embroidered manually, today they are mostly produced digitally. Computerized embroidery machines are specialized machines that can create embroidery from computerized designs. Such machines exist for the home market, for the small independent professional, and for mass production. Many home sewing machines can be turned into embroidery machines by adding a hardware module.

This one on the right is an example of the computerized moral patch that we made for the Navy Supply Corps School. With digital designing, we can print or embroider any type of graphics that you need.
