Military uniform patches and shoulder sleeve insignia have existed since the early 1900s. Since then many military patches have been elevated to near-legendary status. Some of these iconic patches include the Big Red One, Old Ironsides, and the 101st Airborne.

Military patches often feature artwork that demonstrates how long a particular battalion or unit has been together, how many tours they’ve done or even a special logo. Some patches are out of this world. For example, NASA mission patches have existed since 1965 when astronaut Gordon Cooper created the first patch for the Gemini 5 mission. Since then NASA has created hundreds of mission patches, from the space shuttle missions to satellite launches.

Most team uniforms have a standard American flag patch on the sleeve, but other patches are added at different times. An All-Star patch during the All-Star game, a military or civil service patch for an appreciation day, or a special championship patch during the post-season.
