Meridian Police "The Dairy City" Patch-First Patch Item Info
- Title:
- Meridian Police "The Dairy City" Patch-First Patch
- Creator:
- Meridian Police Department
- Date Created:
- 1960
- Description:
- Meridian Police "The Dairy City" Patch (First Patch) was released about the early 1960s. Apparently many people interpreted wrong ideas about the cow tail facing upward and became offended. The patch eventually became replaced with one in which the cow tail pointed straight down. The version of the cow tail up came in both white and a second issued light orange. Not only was the cow symbolic of the dairy center, but the shape of the patch looked like a wedge of cheese. All Meridian Police Dairy patches were dropped in the late 1970s or early 1980s.
