Officially Licensed USMC VMM-163 ‘Evil Eyes’ Blackout Embroidered Morale Patch

Description

Officially Licensed USMC VMM-163 Evil Eyes Blackout Embroidered Patch — Ridge Runners in Stealth Mode

The Evil Eyes of VMM-163 go blackout for operations where being seen isn’t part of the plan.

Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 163 (VMM-163), the Ridge Runners, also known as the Evil Eyes, operates the MV-22B Osprey from MCAS Miramar, California. This blackout embroidered patch presents the squadron’s identity in subdued, low-visibility colors designed for tactical environments where standard colorful patches would compromise concealment. VMM-163’s lineage traces back to the Vietnam-era HMM-163 Ridge Runners, and the Evil Eyes moniker adds an aggressive edge to the squadron’s identity. The blackout format is favored by crews deploying to forward areas where tactical discipline demands muted insignia.

Perfect For: VMM-163 Evil Eyes/Ridge Runners crews, Miramar-based Marine aviators, V-22 Osprey pilots, blackout/low-vis patch collectors, and Marine tiltrotor squadron fans.
