U.S. Flag Reverse Color Patch - New

A "U.S. Flag Reverse Color Patch is a specific type of patch designed to be worn on uniforms and gear, particularly by military and law enforcement personnel. Here's a breakdown of its key features and what makes it distinct:

1. Reverse Orientation: The most notable feature is the "reverse" or "backward" design of the flag. This is not an error; it's a symbolic and regulated practice in the U.S. military. When worn on the right shoulder of a uniform, the stars are positioned to the front, or the "hoist" side of the flag. This placement is meant to give the impression that the flag is being carried forward into battle, with the wind streaming behind it as the wearer advances. It symbolizes courage, forward momentum, and the American fighting spirit.


2. "Color" and Variants: "Color" generally refers to the traditional red, white, and blue design of the American flag. However, these patches are also available in other color schemes to match different uniform patterns, such as:
• OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern): A subdued, multi-color pattern designed for military uniforms.
• Subdued: A version with muted, non-reflective colors (often black, gray, and green) for use in tactical or low-visibility situations.
• IR (Infrared): Patches with special materials that reflect infrared light, making them visible when viewed through night vision equipment. 


3. Material and Construction: These patches can be made from various materials, including:
• Embroidered Fabric: The most common type, featuring detailed stitching.
• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): A durable, rubber-like material that is resistant to water, fading, and fraying.

4. Regulation and Use: The use and placement of these patches are often governed by military regulations, such as U.S. Army Regulation 670-1. They are worn by U.S. soldiers, law enforcement officers, and patriotic professionals as a symbol of American pride and service.
