Product Description

Officially Licensed USMC VMM-163 Evil Eyes Blackout Embroidered Patch — Ridge Runners in Stealth Mode

The Evil Eyes of VMM-163 go blackout for operations where being seen isn't part of the plan.

Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 163 (VMM-163), the Ridge Runners, also known as the Evil Eyes, operates the MV-22B Osprey from MCAS Miramar, California. This blackout embroidered patch presents the squadron's identity in subdued, low-visibility colors designed for tactical environments where standard colorful patches would compromise concealment. VMM-163's lineage traces back to the Vietnam-era HMM-163 Ridge Runners, and the Evil Eyes moniker adds an aggressive edge to the squadron's identity. The blackout format is favored by crews deploying to forward areas where tactical discipline demands muted insignia.

Perfect For: VMM-163 Evil Eyes/Ridge Runners crews, Miramar-based Marine aviators, V-22 Osprey pilots, blackout/low-vis patch collectors, and Marine tiltrotor squadron fans.

Evil Eyes in blackout — the Ridge Runners go dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
