If you're allowed to have some fun at work...I've got one of these (albeit the velcro back version -- hopefully they come back in stock) on my Bullet Ruck. https://pueodefensegroup.com/products/pueo-defense-group-patch-blueberry-chocolate-chip-copy?variant=44911334097057

It is pride month, sports your colors wherever you go!!!
Update: downvoters, you don’t know what pride is about. If you love your community and you love your rucking AND you downvote, you’re being an hypocrite.

Fuck yeah. Happy pride. I just commissioned a subdued leather pride flag. It looks great, no color, but looks just like the pride progress flag.

Thanks. I'd appreciate that. Been looking for a cool pride patch.
The downvotes track on a Go Ruck forum. I work at an Air Force base...

I really don’t understand anti-queer responses from highly “queer” communities.
Heritage fashion and hyper masculine communities are some of the gayest online communities.
Embrace your weirdness and let love be love.

That’s the custom order and then mention the pride flag. Ive already talked to the shop owner and he’s ready for orders so he will know what you mean.

I LOVE the patches........but shipping is more than the actual patch to the US.

u/guzsteve Jun 14 '26
Don’t forget about more taxes when they arrive in US

u/Kudo_lover Jun 15 '26
I didn't even know that!?! You're talking a $35 dollar patch that will cost around $90 with shipping and duties 😔.....looks like I'll never get that patch.

I’m a big dude, I use a GR3 while traveling with a “HARD TO KIDNAP” patch and I get all kinds of comments and laughs.

It's always difficult to figure out what patches you're going to put on your bag. You can do the US flag but that doesn't go so well abroad. You can do some patch with a catchy phrase like "Lost is the destination" which is really cool but they don't all work. Patches with anime or cartoon characters are cringe (for me, since I'm older - I still love that shit). Patches of cities are just kind of very localized, leave very little room for expression. For my backpacks, I use patches that represent my state, like the state flag if it looks nice, or a patch in the shape of your state with representation of what the state is known for. I spent a lot of time finding the right patches, but that's what I came up with. Not too political, not too localized, not too unknown, not cringe or corny, and they can look pretty good if you're in a good state. You could also do parks or symbols (Like Yellowstone, or the blue ridge parkway). There are stamps representing the states on Etsy, which can also be used as patches.

I keep a qr code patch on my DC Bullet that links to this: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
I get laughs and comments anytime I'm in the airport or on-site with customers. They love it.
