Material: Dark cloth backing with yellow embroidered lettering.
Size: 80 mm x 38 mm.
Description: This curved, arch-shaped shoulder title is constructed from a coarse, dark navy-blue wool melton cloth designed to be sewn onto a dress uniform sleeve or blazer. The text "NAVY LEAGUE" is embroidered in a semi-circular arc across the upper field using thick, golden-yellow thread, balanced by the country name "CANADA" stitched straight across the base. The reverse side reveals raw textile backing with coarse white stabilizing cheesecloth mesh, which shows light edge fraying and minor fuzzing consistent with active uniform service and subsequent long-term storage.
Circa: Mid to Late 20th Century
Notes:
This specific color combination—golden-yellow embroidery on a dark navy-blue background—was explicitly designated for adult officers, instructors, and committee members of The Navy League of Canada. It is distinct from the white-on-blue embroidered titles that were universally standard issue for youth cadets participating in the Navy League Cadets or the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets.
