Officially US Navy Officer Crest Patch - United States Navy Commissioned Officer Cap Device Insignia, Officially Licensed Embroidered Patch.

Eagle, anchor, and laurel — the unified mark of every commissioned officer in the United States Navy, from ensign to admiral.

The Navy Officer Crest traces its standardized form to 1881, when uniform regulations introduced a silver eagle clutching an anchor as the official cap device for commissioned officers. That design evolved through decades of naval history, reaching its modern form in a 1941 redesign that reoriented the eagle to face its heraldic right — a change directed by the Secretary of the Navy to align with classical heraldic tradition. The crest brings together the eagle, symbolizing leadership and national authority, the anchor representing the Navy's enduring bond with the sea, and a laurel wreath marking honor and achievement. It is the one insignia shared across every warfare community in the Navy, unifying surface warfare officers, submariners, naval aviators, special warfare officers, and intelligence professionals under a single commissioned identity. This embroidered patch reproduces that crest in a durable, stitched format sized for flight suits, uniform jackets, gear bags, and display panels. It is produced under an official U.S. Navy trademark license, making it an authentic representation of the insignia rather than a generic military souvenir. The simplified design keeps the core elements clean and readable at patch scale without losing the weight of the history behind them.

Perfect For: Active-duty and retired Navy officers, Naval Academy graduates, Officer Candidate School and Navy ROTC alumni, surface warfare and submarine veterans, naval aviators, special warfare community members, Navy officer families, shadow box builders, cruise book displays, unit reunion gifts, and military insignia collectors who want an officially licensed piece tied to the full breadth of the commissioned officer corps rather than a single community or platform.

One crest, every community, two and a half centuries of commissioned naval service.

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.
