Official VMM-362 Ugly Angels Lucky and Ugly PVC Patch — Lucky Enough to Fly, Ugly Enough to Fight
Some squadrons care about looking good. The Ugly Angels care about getting the job done — and they've been doing it since 1952.
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 362 (VMM-362) — the 'Ugly Angels' — flies the MV-22B Osprey from MCAS Miramar, California, under MAG-16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. The Ugly Angels are one of the Marine Corps' most storied helicopter and tiltrotor squadrons, with a lineage that began on April 30, 1952, when the squadron was originally activated as HMR-362. The 'Ugly Angels' nickname was earned during the Vietnam War, where the squadron flew the UH-34D Seahorse in some of the earliest Marine helicopter combat operations — inserting troops, evacuating casualties, and resupplying remote outposts under fire. This 'Lucky and Ugly' PVC patch combines the squadron's self-deprecating humor with its real-world combat heritage, celebrating the Marines who embrace the Ugly Angels identity with pride. Assigned to the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (13th MEU) as the Aviation Combat Element, VMM-362 deploys aboard amphibious ships and is among the first Marine aviation units to respond to crises in the Indo-Pacific region. The durable PVC construction ensures this patch survives the rigors of deployment.
Perfect For: VMM-362 Ugly Angels Marines past and present, MV-22 Osprey community members, 13th MEU veterans, MAG-16 and MCAS Miramar personnel, and anyone who embraces the Ugly Angels tradition.
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.
