Product Description

Official VMM-263 Thunder Chickens Miami Vice REIN Patches

The Thunder Chickens go REIN with a Miami Vice twist — because when you're the first operational Osprey squadron, you've earned the right to have fun with it.

VMM-263 "Thunder Chickens" made history in 2006 as the Marine Corps' first operational MV-22B Osprey squadron, and in 2007 became the first to deploy the Osprey to combat in Iraq. Based at MCAS New River under MAG-26, 2nd MAW, the Thunder Chickens have served in Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. In the REIN configuration, VMM-263 deploys as the Aviation Combat Element of a Marine Expeditionary Unit — augmented with attack, heavy-lift, and utility aircraft. This Miami Vice-themed variant adds retro flair to the reinforced mission.

Perfect For:
VMM-263 Thunder Chickens Marines, MAG-26 and 2nd MAW personnel, MV-22 Osprey enthusiasts, MEU aviation element deployers, and morale patch collectors.

First Osprey squadron. Still setting the pace.

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.
