US Army clan badge?

[Finn]

Good morning!

Any day now I'm expecting a caubeen in the mail from Woodsheal. Been pondering badges to wear on it. I know at least one of our esteemed rabble wears an USMC clan badge on his bonnet.
Having searched for US Army clan badges on both the 'Net & here, I thought I would reach out to our members for suggestions. Rather not wear a regimental crest.
Thanks all!

I got my US Army badge from there.

Thank you! They're quite nice!

I know that you are looking for an army badge for your bonnet,but in case that does not work out and you decide to use a clan badge instead, can I give you a tip?Make sure that the tartan in your kilt matches the clan badge that you have in your bonnet.You may upset two clans if you don't! I Hope you find what you are looking for.

Jock,

Of course, if he's wearing the US Army tartan, then there's no real issue. Same with a district tartan.

Yes,after a brief thought,I can see no problem with that.It's mixing the respective clans that could be the problem.If nothing else, it's a courtesy thing.

US Army tartan, huh? Well I would think there are several options for a cap badge:

1) enlisted cap badge with branch of service colour behind it. (picked up at a gun show or surplus store for around a buck)

2) branch of service devise on a cockade of the colours (crossed rifles on inf. blue; crossed sabers on yellow; etc.)

3) your own clan badge with either your distinctive unit devise or branch devise placed alongside (or below)

4) unit shoulder patch stitched on (big red one, sheaf flaming sword, etc)

None of these should set you back more than about $5 or $6

The caubeen arrived yesterday! Thanks, Woodsheal!

Quite right!

Would never intentionally offend any clan. US Army or saffron only.

I'm thinking Military Police insignia with a gold & white hackle (doesn't seem to have a military association). Green, gold & white are MP colors. 1stAD patch is too big & a Taro leaf would look silly.
