Large-format embroidered identification patch displaying FEW over FUERZAS ESPECIALES WICHO, separated by a green-white-red tricolor bar inspired by the Mexican flag. This style mirrors the elongated “unit tape” format commonly seen in contemporary Mexican conflict imagery and cartel-affiliated insignia.
The FEW name (“Fuerzas Especiales Wicho”) is associated with armed cells loyal to Wicho / R5, a regional figure tied to the Cárteles Unidos alliance in Michoacán. The design reflects the trend of leader-centric tactical branding, where groups adopt “Fuerzas Especiales” styling to project elite identity and internal cohesion.
This oversized configuration matches examples documented on armored vehicles and field gear attributed to the Wicho faction, making it a notable piece for collectors focused on modern Latin American narco-militaria.

Historical Context
“FEW” stands for Fuerzas Especiales Wicho, a designation linked to enforcement elements operating under the Wicho / R5 faction within the broader Cárteles Unidos structure. Rather than representing a standalone cartel, FEW functions as a branded combat cell tied directly to its leader.
Such patches are part of a wider phenomenon in Mexico where armed groups adopt military-style insignia to reinforce hierarchy, loyalty, and intimidation. These identifiers are often displayed on uniforms, tactical vests, vehicles, and armored trucks, serving both internal recognition and external psychological impact.
Pieces like this document the evolving visual language of modern cartel warfare and are sought after by collectors of contemporary conflict insignia.
