Mexico Flag Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for Mexico with our Mexico Flag Patch. This embroidered badge features the iconic national flag of the United Mexican States, a powerful symbol of its independence, its rich indigenous history, and its enduring national pride.

The Mexico banner is a vertical tricolour, featuring three equal bands of green (hoist side), white (middle), and red (fly side). At the very center of the white band, the National Coat of Arms of Mexico is prominently displayed. The green stripe represents hope and the independence movement. The white stripe signifies purity and religious faith, often associated with the Catholic Church. The red stripe embodies the blood shed by national heroes and the union of the Americas. These colors originated from the flag of the Army of the Three Guarantees, symbolizing independence, religion, and union.

The National Coat of Arms, centrally placed, is a rich and historically significant emblem. It depicts a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, devouring a rattlesnake. This image is rooted in the Aztec legend that their gods instructed them to build their city where they saw an eagle eating a snake on a cactus. This legend led to the founding of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, now Mexico City. The eagle, snake, and cactus symbolize the triumph of good over evil, the founding of the nation, and the indigenous roots of Mexico. The coat of arms is surrounded by branches of oak (symbolizing strength) and laurel (symbolizing victory), tied with a ribbon in the national colors. This harmonious blend of colours and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates Mexico’s profound historical narrative, its deep cultural roots, and its aspirations for a unified and prosperous future. The current flag was officially adopted on September 16, 1968, though the tricolor design dates back to 1821.

Our Mexico mini flag patches measure 1.5″ x 2.5″ (approximately 3.8 cm x 6.3 cm), making them an ideal size for personalizing a wide range of apparel items. Each patch comes with an iron-on backing for quick and easy initial application to most fabrics. However, for the most secure and permanent attachment, especially on garments that will be frequently washed or endure heavy use, sew-on installation is highly recommended. This ensures your Mexico flag badge remains firmly in place for years to come.

Whether you’re a traveler, a collector, or simply a proud citizen, our national flag patches are the perfect way to express yourself.
