This round embroidered patch displays C.J.N.G. (Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación) across the top above a bold yellow eight-ball (“8”) symbol, with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 arranged around the outer field. The design reflects CJNG’s documented use of numeric identifiers as coded references to specific leadership figures and command relationships, conveyed through symbolism rather than written names.
The central eight-ball represents “08 / El Ocho,” a numerical designation associated with Alonso Guerrero Covarrubias, a senior CJNG figure identified in open-source reporting and U.S. Treasury sanctions. Within CJNG iconography, numbers are frequently rendered symbolically; in this case, the eight-ball serves as a visual shorthand for the “08” identifier, indicating affiliation or alignment with that command sphere.
The surrounding numbers reference senior CJNG leadership identifiers:
1 (01) refers to Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (“El Mencho”), founder and supreme leader of CJNG.
2 (02) refers to Rubén Oseguera González (“El Menchito”), a principal CJNG leader and son of El Mencho.
3 (03) refers to Juan Carlos Valencia González, a high-ranking CJNG leader commonly identified through the numerical call sign “03.”
Displayed together, the 1-2-3 configuration encircling the central 8 communicates command legitimacy and organizational alignment, visually situating “08” within the broader CJNG leadership structure rather than indicating a formal rank or unit.
This patch functions as a cartel-style identification or morale emblem, using numeric symbolism consistent with CJNG’s known visual language.

Historical Context
CJNG has repeatedly employed numeric call signs and symbolic imagery across patches, banners, and equipment to reference leadership figures while maintaining anonymity. Identifiers such as 01, 02, 03, and 08 appear in open-source reporting, seized materials, and cartel propaganda, functioning as coded leadership references rather than formal unit insignia. The eight-ball motif reflects this practice by embedding a numeric identifier into a universally recognizable symbol.
