Officially Licensed USMC VMFA-533 Hawks Black Mac PVC Glow Patch — Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 533 Black Glow-in-the-Dark PVC Patch
In Hoc Signo Vinces — By This Sign You Shall Conquer — VMFA-533 Hawks in a black PVC glow edition, bringing the F-35B Lightning II to life even in the dark.
Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 533 (VMFA-533), the "Hawks," is a USMC F-35B Lightning II squadron assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 31 (MAG-31) at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina, flying under the tail code "ED" as part of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (2nd MAW). The Hawks are one of the Marine Corps' operational F-35B squadrons, fielding the short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) variant of the Joint Strike Fighter that gives the Marine Corps its fifth-generation strike fighter capability.
This Black Mac PVC glow patch features the Hawks' iconic design in a blackout colorway with glow-in-the-dark elements, creating a striking visual effect that transitions from a subdued tactical appearance in daylight to an illuminated design in darkness. The glow feature makes this patch a standout piece for display and a favorite among collectors who appreciate the dual-mode aesthetic.
The F-35B Lightning II that VMFA-533 operates is the most advanced tactical fighter in the Marine Corps inventory. Its combination of stealth, advanced sensors, data fusion, and STOVL capability allows the Hawks to operate from amphibious assault ships, austere expeditionary airfields, and conventional runways alike — bringing fifth-generation lethality wherever the Marine Air-Ground Task Force deploys. VMFA-533's motto, "In Hoc Signo Vinces" (By This Sign You Shall Conquer), captures the squadron's aggressive spirit and its confidence in the Lightning II's transformative capabilities.
Perfect For: VMFA-533 Hawks members and veterans, F-35B Lightning II pilots and maintainers, MAG-31 and 2nd MAW personnel, MCAS Beaufort Marines, glow patch collectors, and Marine fighter aviation enthusiasts.
VMFA-533 Hawks — In Hoc Signo Vinces — conquering by day, glowing by night, lethal around the clock.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
