JTG BAD SANTA CHRISTMAS Patch

The JTG Bad Santa Christmas Patch is a large, colourful 3D morale patch with a Christmas theme that is clearly not designed for a wholesome Christmas card collection. The artwork plays on the classic question of whether you’ve been “Bad or Good” this year and translates this into a detailed Bad Santa design featuring no fewer than 15 different colours.

The design was created exclusively for JTG by the English designer JEZ. Measuring approximately 103 × 104 mm, this version is one of JTG’s larger patches, making it particularly suitable as an eye-catching feature in a patch collection, on a plate carrier, rucksack or patch wall.

Large 15-colour 3D design by JEZ

The Bad Santa is designed as a detailed 3D patch, with raised contours and different layers of colour creating a clearly visible sense of depth in the design. The combination of fifteen colours makes this patch considerably more colourful and complex than a simple text or logo patch.

The artwork by designer JEZ revolves around the well-known Christmas theme of ‘naughty or nice’, but with a decidedly less saccharine JTG take on it. This makes the patch particularly appealing to collectors and wearers who like to adorn their gear with eye-catching morale patches rather than purely functional identification.

The outer edge follows the shape of the artwork, resulting not in a standard square or round patch but in a clearly recognisable outline.

Flexible 3D construction with a Velcro backing

The patch is made from a flexible 3D PVC/rubber patch. This material makes it possible to incorporate small details, multiple colours and raised shapes into a single design, and is well suited to regular use on airsoft and outdoor equipment.

There is hook-and-loop fastening on the reverse side. This hook-and-loop fastening strip is attached to the patch to ensure a durable connection and allows for quick attachment to any suitable loop-and-hook surface.

This means that the Bad Santa can, for example, be attached to a plate carrier, tactical vest, assault pack, jacket, helmet, patrol cap, boonie hat or patch wall. Naturally, the surface in question must have compatible loop-and-hook fastening.

Dimensions: approximately 103 × 104 mm

Measuring approximately 103 × 104 mm, the Bad Santa is a fairly large morale patch. It’s important to bear this in mind beforehand, particularly when it needs to be attached to smaller Velcro patches on caps, helmets or compact pouches.

The artwork really comes into its own on the larger panels of rucksacks, plate carriers and patch walls. The size ensures that the many colours and 3D details remain clearly visible even from a distance.

The stated weight is only around 30 grams, which means that, in practice, the extra weight on the kit is hardly noticeable.

Practical insights

The JTG Bad Santa is primarily intended as a decorative morale and collector’s patch. Its added value lies in its design, the level of detail and the opportunity to personalise a loadout or collection.

Given its relatively large size, it is advisable to measure the available Velcro surface on your kit before purchasing. A patch over ten centimetres wide and high takes up considerably more space than a standard flag or blood group patch.

PVC/rubber is easy to keep clean. Light dust or dirt can usually be removed gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using sharp objects or scrubbing vigorously over the raised 3D details.

Given its size and colourful design, this version is particularly well-suited to a patch wall. It’s not exactly subtle, but you probably wouldn’t buy a large, fifteen-colour Bad Santa just to go unnoticed.

Who is the JTG Bad Santa Christmas Patch suitable for?

The JTG Bad Santa Christmas Patch is particularly suitable for patch collectors, airsoft players and outdoor enthusiasts who want to give their kit a touch of humour over the festive season.

Thanks to its exclusive JEZ design and the extensive range of 15 colours, it is also an attractive collector’s patch, even if it isn’t actually worn on tactical gear.

Bad Santa is, of course, the perfect choice for winter events, Christmas displays and seasonal loadouts, but he can easily stay up on a patch wall all year round. After all, Santa needs to keep an eye on things even outside December.

Common mistakes

• Check in advance that the available Velcro surface is large enough for a patch measuring approximately 103 × 104 mm.
• Don’t expect a small, standard morale patch; this Bad Santa has been deliberately made relatively large.
• Check that the equipment has a looped Velcro strip to which the hook side can attach.
• Crochet Velcro cannot be attached directly to every type of fabric.
• Do not confuse this 3D PVC/rubber version with any embroidered ‘Bad Santa’ versions.
• Do not use sharp objects to remove dirt from the raised details.
• Please bear in mind that a fifteen-colour design is deliberately eye-catching and does not serve as camouflage.
