Official Dartmouth Fly Navy Shoulder Patch - Dartmouth College Naval ROTC Fly Navy Community Embroidered Shoulder Patch, representing the proud intersection of Ivy League academic tradition and United States naval aviation heritage.
Dartmouth green meets naval gold — college pride and the call to fly, stitched into one shoulder patch that says everything without a word.
Dartmouth College's relationship with the Navy stretches back to World War II, when the V-12 Navy College Training Program arrived on the Hanover campus in 1943 to prepare enlisted men for commissioned service in the United States Naval Reserve and Marine Corps Reserve. When the war ended, that pipeline transitioned directly into a formal Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps unit, which took root at Dartmouth in 1946 and has produced commissioned officers ever since. Dartmouth NROTC alumni have gone on to serve as surface warfare officers, naval aviators, and Marine Corps officers across decades of worldwide deployments, fleet commands, and combat operations. The Fly Navy identity carried by this shoulder patch speaks directly to those who chose the aviation path — midshipmen who completed the NROTC program, entered the flight training pipeline at Pensacola, and ultimately earned their wings of gold before reporting to fleet squadrons. That journey from the Connecticut River Valley to the flight deck is exactly what this embroidered patch commemorates, giving the design a specific, personal meaning that generic aviation patches simply cannot match.
Perfect For: Dartmouth NROTC alumni, Dartmouth College naval aviation veterans, midshipmen and graduates who earned wings of gold, Ivy League military heritage collectors, Navy and Marine Corps aviators with Dartmouth ties, NROTC reunion displays, shadow boxes, patch boards, cruise book collections, and family members who want a clean tribute to the Dartmouth-to-fleet-aviation story. It also suits collectors building displays around college-affiliated naval service, Fly Navy community patches, or the broader tradition of NROTC commissioning programs at American universities.
Dartmouth lineage, naval aviation pride, and the Fly Navy spirit — preserved in every stitch.
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.
