Officially Licensed USMC VMFA-312 Checkerboards Squadron Patch
The Checkerboards — a pattern of precision that has defined Marine fighter aviation.
Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 312 (VMFA-312), the Checkerboards, is one of the Marine Corps' classic fighter attack squadrons, known for the bold checkerboard pattern that has adorned their aircraft tails and insignia throughout their history. The Checkerboards have flown the F-4 Phantom II and F/A-18 Hornet in combat and peacetime operations around the world, earning a reputation for tactical excellence and aggressive airmanship that defines the Marine fighter community. The squadron's identity is one of the most visually distinctive in all of military aviation, and this officially licensed patch faithfully reproduces the design that Checkerboards Marines have worn with pride across generations of service.
Perfect For:
VMFA-312 Checkerboards current and former members, Marine fighter attack community veterans, F-4 Phantom and F/A-18 Hornet alumni, and Marine squadron patch collectors.
Checkerboards — bold, precise, unmistakable.
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.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
