Gadsden Flag (Large) Patch — “Don’t Tread on Me” Embroidered Flag Patch
Don’t tread on me — the original American warning.
The Gadsden Flag is one of the oldest and most iconic symbols of American independence and individual liberty. Designed by Christopher Gadsden, a Continental Army general and statesman from South Carolina, the flag features a coiled timber rattlesnake on a bright yellow field with the defiant motto “DONT TREAD ON ME.” First used by the Continental Marines during the American Revolution in 1775, the Gadsden Flag became a rallying symbol for the fledgling nation’s refusal to submit to tyranny.
The rattlesnake was a deliberate choice — Benjamin Franklin himself championed the timber rattlesnake as the perfect emblem for America: it never strikes without warning, never initiates aggression, but once provoked, fights with lethal resolve and never surrenders. This large-format embroidered patch captures the iconic design in full vivid detail, making it a bold statement piece for jackets, tactical gear, and collections. The Gadsden Flag continues to resonate with military service members, first responders, and liberty-minded Americans as a timeless symbol of vigilance and self-determination.
Perfect For: Military personnel, veterans, Second Amendment supporters, patriotic Americans, historical flag collectors, and morale patch enthusiasts who value the original spirit of American defiance.
Coiled and ready — don’t tread on me.
