Official MALS-13 Black Widows We Bring The Heat PVC Shoulder Patch - Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 13 (MALS-13), 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, MCAS Yuma officially licensed PVC shoulder patch.
Black Widows. The heat they bring is ordnance loaded, aircraft launched, and F-35Bs in the fight on time, every time.
Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 13 was commissioned on 1 March 1942 in San Diego, California, and has carried the Black Widows name through engagements spanning World War II, Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Based at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma as part of Marine Aircraft Group 13 and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, MALS-13 provides aviation ordnance, maintenance, supply, avionics, and logistics support to keep MAG-13 squadrons combat-ready. Today that mission centers on sustaining the Marine Corps' exclusive all-F-35B MAG, making the Black Widows the backbone of one of the most capable strike groups in the Corps. The motto We Bring The Heat is not a boast but a job description, earned by ordnance technicians, maintainers, and supply Marines who ensure every aircraft departs the flight line armed, airworthy, and on schedule. The PVC construction gives this shoulder patch a durable, field-ready profile that holds color and detail through hard use on gear, bags, flight suits, and display panels without losing the sharp unit character that makes MALS-13 pieces stand apart in any Marine aviation collection.
Perfect For: MALS-13 Black Widows veterans and active-duty Marines, MAG-13 and 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing alumni, MCAS Yuma community members, F-35B maintenance and ordnance technicians, aviation logistics collectors, shadow box builders, patch panel displays, reunion gifts, deployment keepsakes, and anyone who wants a researched, unit-specific piece that honors the Marines who keep Marine Corps strike aviation ready to launch.
Black Widows heritage, molded in PVC, worn by the Marines who bring the heat.
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.
