Description
Army Name Tapes Patches
Army name tapes are rectangular pieces of cloth sewn or attached with hook-and-loop fasteners to a soldier’s uniform. They typically display the soldier’s last name in a specific font and color, depending on the uniform type. We also have US Army World War 2 Shoulder Patches
Purpose of Army Name Tapes:
Identification: Identifies the soldier.
Professionalism: Contributes to a uniform and professional appearance.
Respect: Shows respect for the military and its standards.
Types of Army Name Tapes
Sew-on name tapes: Traditionally attached to the uniform using needle and thread.
Hook and loop name tapes: More common today, using a hook-and-loop system for easy attachment and removal.
Branch-specific name tapes: Indicate the soldier’s branch of service (e.g., Infantry, Armor, Aviation).
Placement of Army Name Tape
Typically worn above the right chest pocket.
Specific placement guidelines vary based on uniform type and regulations.
Army Patches
While not strictly “army name tape,” patches are another essential component of military uniforms. They can indicate unit affiliation, awards, qualifications, or other information.
