Decoherence Media has identified an online patch shop that has, in the past several years, become the go-to store for the most radical fringe of the far-right to design and order embroidered patches from. Decoherence Media counted more than 300 patches whose designs are unambiguously far-right, white nationalist, or Nazi affiliated. These include designs associated with four different organizations that have been designated, listed, or proscribed as terror groups by Canada, New Zealand, the European Union, or the United Kingdom. Nearly every subset of the far-right from Europe and America is represented in patches sold on the website, including militant accelerationist groups, National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM) bands, Active Clubs, and even a neo-Nazi "murder cult" with at least one member incarcerated for murder.

Create your own patch!

Patch Shop is hosted on the website patch-shop.com. On their website, users can submit custom patch designs that get added to the store’s catalog, which other users can then purchase. They advertise this service to bands, sports clubs, or other organizations as a low-risk alternative to ordering custom embroidered patches in bulk and then selling the patches themselves. 

The “propose a patch” page on their website states, “We keep the right to not make a proposed patch.”

Patch Shop lists its most popular products on its website, including patches with the sonnenrad (a symbol popular with neo-Nazis), patches of the far-right Ukrainian military branch Azov Regiment (showing their previous insignia with a sonnenrad), and the militant neo-Nazi organization Misanthropic Division.

What can you buy?

As of November 20, 2025, Patch Shop lists 10,388 distinct embroidered patches for sale. Each patch has a unique ascending identification (ID) number that corresponds to when the patch was added to the catalog. So the first patch added to the catalog has ID 84, and the most recent, as of this article’s publication, has ID 11991. 

Though the product pages of patches do not have information about when their design was proposed, another page on the website contains a list of patches uploaded each day. Scraping all such pages allows us to determine when a given patch first appeared on the website. For example, the patch with ID 84 was added to the website on December 29, 2014, and a particularly high percentage of the patches added on May 22, 2024, had explicit neo-Nazi designs, as shown in the screenshot below.

The diagram below shows many of the far-right patches, organized by category. 

49 of the patches identified as far-right have the logos of or album covers from NSBM or Rock Against Communism (RAC) bands. Our inclusion criteria was that the band had to have a Metal Archives page where the list of “themes” included either “National Socialism,” or “Antisemitism,” or that a non-metal band has a well-documented association with National Socialism (such as Skrewdriver).

Who’s buying patches?

Decoherence Media has identified several fascist or neo-Nazi groups whose symbols are on patches for sale on the Patch Shop website. Many of these groups have these links and patches featured in their social media.

Heidi Beirich, Ph.D., Co-Founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) told Decoherence Media that, “patches, posters, and other propaganda are central to the far-right ecosystem, and used by nearly all white supremacist and neo-Nazis groups. In the era of the internet, these objects, whether digital or actual, are central to spreading hateful messaging and extremist ideologies.”

“This type of branding,” she explains, “is a central means for far-right groups to fund themselves, and when they are long gone, keep their ideas alive. It's also a way for individuals to align themselves to certain groups and ideas.”

Neo-Nazi accelerationists

Atomwaffen Division (AWD) was a notorious and influential neo-Nazi paramilitary network, which is a listed terrorist organization in Canada and a proscribed group in the United Kingdom, and whose members have been linked to five murders. It promoted an ideology of militant accelerationism, which advocates for acts of terrorism to instigate a race war and societal collapse. Though Atomwaffen Division was “officially” disbanded in March 2020, the first Atomwaffen Division patch on the Patch Shop website wasn’t created until more than two years later, on June 29, 2022. 

Beirich also said, “even if organizations have fallen apart, like Atomwaffen Division, their merch, symbols and aesthetics continue to spread these extremist groups' ideologies. There's no need for an actual group, as the ideas continue to circulate in the form of images, patches, memes and other representations.”

The Patch Shop website not only has an Atomwaffen Division patch for sale, but it also sells patches with The Base’s logo: a triple eihwaz. The Base is another notorious neo-Nazi accelerationist organization that has been designated as a terrorist entity by the European Union, New Zealand, and Australia.

Some patch names, like “Dan of the Rope” pictured in the example, are dog whistles. This embroidered phrase is an obfuscation (the “y” in Fraktur-style fonts often looks like an “n”) of the white supremacist meme: “Day of the Rope,” originating from the influential white nationalist book “The Turner Diaries,” which describes the hanging of all "race traitors" after a fictionalized white revolution. 

Sturmjäger Division

At least five members of the neo-Nazi terrorist organization Sturmjäger Division have been arrested. In February 2025, 24-year-old “Daan C,” from Belgium, was found guilty of being the leader of the group and sentenced to 8 years in prison. His girlfriend and a friend of theirs were also arrested along with two teenagers in Croatia. The Patch Shop website currently has four Sturmjäger Division patches for sale.

Kernatium Division

A small neo-Nazi group called Kernatium Division, whose founder reportedly stated that the organization’s goal was to “kill Jews and immigrants,” has two patches for sale on Patch Shop and promoted their links in one of their Telegram channels. While the group was formed in Canada, reportedly by teenagers, online activity showed an effort to start up in five different countries.

Robloxwaffen Division

Neo-Nazis prey upon youth in places intended to be fun, such as gaming platforms like Minecraft and Roblox. Patches of one “neo-Nazi group” created on the gaming platform Roblox and calling itself “Robloxwaffen Division” (RWD) mimic the aesthetics of Atomwaffen Division. The flag is a variation of the Atomwaffen Division flag, but instead of a radiation warning symbol in the SS-style shield, it has the Roblox Studio icon.

Order of Nine Angles

Patch Shop sells more than 20 different patches with designs associated with the Order of Nine Angles (O9A), a satanic neo-Nazi occult network that New Zealand has designated as a terrorist entity. An O9A-associated Telegram channel that aggregates propaganda from neo-Nazi, Islamist, Satanist, and child sexual abuse extortionist groups, reposted links to four patches on the Patch Shop website. The patches represent Satanic Front, Order of Nine Angles, Tempel ov Blood, and the Order of Nine Angles’s satanist symbol for “Vindex” (a complex and magical avenging entity). The designs of these four patches are taken from the symbology of the occult network, whose close affiliations also include nihilist groups such as 764 and No Lives Matter.

Maniac Murder Cult

The Patch Shop website sells two patches of Maniac Murder Cult (MKY), a nihilist, neo-Nazi group originating in Ukraine that is a listed terror group in Canada and a proscribed group in the United Kingdom. Several of its members have been convicted of violent crimes, including murder. A leader of MKY, a Georgian national named Michail Chkhikvishvili, plotted to poison non-white children with ricin-laced candy in New York while dressed up as Santa Claus. Chkhikvishvili, who was extradited to the US from Moldova in July 2024, has since pleaded guilty to the charges and faces a maximum of 40 years in prison. Another member, Nino Luciano H., who went by the alias “Tobbz” and was known in 764 child sextortion circles, was sentenced to 14 years in prison by a Romanian court for stabbing an elderly woman to death.

Satanic Front

An X account named “Satanae Manibus” promoted the Maniac Murder Cult patch sold by Patch Shop. This alias is used by Jarod Hayes Choate, a US Army veteran living in Texas, who is himself the leader of a militant Satanic group called the Satanic Front, whose logo is sold as a patch on Patch Shop. A link to a Satanic Front patch for sale was promoted in the Order of Nine Angles-associated Telegram channel shown above. 

The Satanic Front claims not to be an "armchair group, but real soldiers" and brags that their trainers are "active and former active duty Infantrymen." Their “handbook” encourages bloodletting and animal sacrifice at their ritual meetings. Manibus’s group made an alliance with Maniac Murder Cult and both groups are featured in the third edition of “The Hater’s Handbook,” a racist manual meant to inspire a young generation of murderers who will help bring about chaos and ethnic cleansing.

One member of Satanic Front using the alias “Draco Noktul” was named in a 2021 affidavit which described him as being “in contact with known AWD individuals.” In February 2023, another member was charged with child exploitation, enticement of minors, and firearm possession as a felon. 

Active Clubs and their youth groups

Active Clubs are a transnational network of fascists active in more than two dozen countries. Organized into state, region, and country-based “clubs,” they emphasize physical fitness and on-the-ground organizing. Their typical activities include sparring, exercising, disseminating propaganda, merchandise sales, and organizing collaborations between clubs, such as mixed martial arts tournaments.

The network is the creation of American neo-Nazi Rob Rundo, who previously led the Rise Above Movement (RAM) until he fled the US following the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally. RAM transformed into the Active Club network, first growing in popularity in the US and then rapidly spreading across the globe. Following this spread,, it was revealed that the US-based neo-fascist group Patriot Front had positioned itself as a controlling influence over many branches of Rundo’s network. 

Starting in 2024, a network similar to and endorsed by Active Clubs—but for teenage fascists—has been created, using the name United Youth. It serves as a means to recruit, organize, and funnel members under the age of 18 into Active Clubs and Patriot Front.

Decoherence Media found two Active Club patches and three belonging to Youth Clubs currently for sale on the Patch Shop website.

2119 

An American neo-Nazi youth gang called 2119, which was active in at least 21 states has two versions of their patches available on Patch Shop, and showed pictures of the patch in their Telegram channel. (The letters “B,” “A,” and “S” are respectively the 2nd, 1st, and 19th letters of the alphabet, so 2119 represents “Blood and Soil.”) Several members of 2119 have been arrested for crimes that include throwing a brick with “No Jews” written on it at a Florida Jewish center, as well as attacks on synagogues and a mosque. Although 2119 is now essentially defunct, the group gave rise to the growing United Youth network modeled after the Active Club network.

Gulf Coast Youth Club

The United Youth network became what 2119 set out to be: an alliance of white supremacist, American youth aged 15 to 18 organizing under a banner which feeds into the dominant Active Club and Patriot Front networks once the members reach adulthood. The United Youth network spans all 50 US states and has even inspired the creation of a Youth Club network in the United Kingdom. These “youth clubs” share the same motto: “White Youth in Revolt.”

The Gulf Coast Youth Club (GCYC) is one such nascent group that started up around November 2025. GCYC takes male members aged 15 through 18 within the US states of Mississippi and Louisiana. This group’s logo is available as a patch for sale on the Patch Shop website.

Comparison to other online patch shops

The number, diversity, and severity of the designs available on Patch Shop far exceed those of any other custom patch stores Decoherence Media could find, even stores not on mainstream sales platforms like Amazon or Etsy.

As a comparison, we identified several mainstream stores that sell a small number of patches with similar far-right designs as some on Patch Shop. 

One Etsy storefront sells a patch for the NSBM band Peste Noire and another sells an Insurgent Army of Ukraine patch, along with many Norse patch designs which, though not explicitly far-right, have been appropriated by the American and European far-right.

On Amazon, at least five patches with designs from Wehrmacht units are sold, as well as one with a design from the Three Percenters, an American far-right militia. Another store sells one patch with the sigil of the Order of Nine Angles.

Patch Shop is also often near the top of Google search results; for example, it is the first result for “atomwaffen patch” and the second result for “atomwaffen division patch.” Google results for “Sturmjäger division” (either with or without quotes) rank a Patch Shop link higher than an article about the leader of that group being sentenced to 8 years in prison. Data from similarweb.com estimates that nearly half of Patch Shop’s traffic comes from “organic search” like this.

Decoherence Media could not find any other stores selling patches with the designs of organizations like The Base. Even most explicitly neo-Nazi online stores didn’t match the sheer number of neo-Nazi patches sold by Patch Shop.

A spokesperson for the Patch Shop told Decoherence Media: “I want to emphasize that we do not support any groups that are associated with hate or violence. Our commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive environment is paramount, and we take any allegations of hate symbols or extremist content very seriously.

The designs available in our shop are primarily created by our customers. In rare instances, we may not immediately recognize certain symbols or designs that could be associated with hate groups or other prohibited content. However, we are actively working to improve our processes to better identify and prevent the production of such symbols on our platform.

We have implemented measures to remove any designs that violate our policies, both proactively and in response to reports from our customers. We value the feedback from our community and are committed to ensuring that our shop reflects our values.”

At the time of publication, Patch Shop had removed 61 of the 305 far-right patches Decoherence Media found, including three patches with The Base’s logo, but still sold two Atomwaffen Division patches and two Maniac Murder Cult patches.
