VFA-22 Fighting Redcocks Christmas Patches — 'Tis the Season to Deliver Ordnance
Santa flies reindeer. The Redcocks fly Super Hornets. Both deliver on schedule.
The VFA-22 Fighting Redcocks Christmas patch is a holiday tradition for one of the Navy's most decorated strike fighter squadrons. Originally established as Fighter Squadron 63 (VF-63) at NAS Norfolk, Virginia in 1948, VFA-22 has spent more than seven decades as a cornerstone of carrier aviation, flying everything from the F8F Bearcat and F4U Corsair to the A-4 Skyhawk, A-7 Corsair II, and today's F/A-18F Super Hornet out of NAS Lemoore, California. The Fighting Redcocks have seen nine combat deployments across the Korean and Vietnam Wars, enforced no-fly zones over Iraq in Operations Southern Watch and Desert Fox, struck Taliban and al-Qaeda targets in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom — where they delivered over 415,000 pounds of ordnance, more than any other Navy squadron at the time — and supported the push to Baghdad during Iraqi Freedom. Along the way, VFA-22 earned five Battle 'E' awards, the prestigious McClusky Award as the Navy's best attack squadron, two Meritorious Unit Commendations, and a Navy Unit Commendation for Desert Fox. Whether it's December on the boat or the middle of a workup cycle, the Redcocks don't stop flying just because it's the holidays — and this Christmas patch proves the squadron knows how to celebrate in style. Callsign: Beef. Season's greetings from NAS Lemoore.
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.
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.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
