This MF faction patch is a collector-style reproduction inspired by the initials and visual language used by the Mayiza / “Mayito Flaco” side within the Sinaloa Cartel’s internal conflict. The design features a skull with an eye patch over a central dagger, flanked by crossed rifles, embroidered in gold and white on a black field with bold “MF” lettering at the bottom. The overall aesthetic reflects intimidation-focused narco iconography rather than any standardized or officially issued uniform insignia.

Historical Context
Within the Sinaloa Cartel’s ongoing factional split, the initials “MF” have been widely associated with Ismael Zambada Sicairos, known as “El Mayito Flaco,” a leading figure aligned with the Zambada (“La Mayiza”) faction. As violence escalated between this faction and Los Chapitos, the use of initials, graffiti, banners, and patches became a way to mark territory, signal allegiance, and project power.
Patches like this are not part of any formal uniform system; instead, they belong to a broader culture of narco-identifiers—items worn, displayed, or photographed to convey loyalty and psychological dominance. The skull-and-weapons motif is consistent with imagery used across Mexican organized crime groups, emphasizing lethality, defiance, and internal cohesion. Because these items are produced informally and locally, exact designs can vary, but the “MF” designation itself is a recognized identifier tied to the Mayito Flaco / Mayiza faction during this period.
