California Flag Ball Cap Patch — California Republic Bear Flag Embroidered Hat Patch
The California Republic — the Golden State's bear flies on your cap.
The California Bear Flag is one of the most recognizable state flags in America, featuring a grizzly bear striding across a patch of green grass beneath a red star and the words "California Republic." The flag traces its origins to the Bear Flag Revolt of 1846, when American settlers in Sonoma declared independence from Mexico and raised a hastily made bear flag over the town plaza. That brief rebellion was quickly absorbed into the larger Mexican-American War, but the bear flag endured as the official symbol of California statehood.
This ball cap-sized embroidered patch captures the iconic California Republic design in a compact format perfect for the front panel of hats, beanies, and other headwear. The California grizzly bear — now extinct in the wild but immortalized on the state flag — represents strength, independence, and the rugged frontier spirit that built the Golden State. Whether you're a California native, a military member stationed at one of the state's many bases, or simply someone who loves the California lifestyle, this hat patch is a subtle but unmistakable way to show your Golden State pride.
Perfect For: California natives and residents, military personnel stationed at California bases, state flag collectors, hat patch enthusiasts, West Coast pride supporters, and anyone who loves the bear flag and everything it represents.
California Republic — the bear roams free.
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.
