Chloe the corgi, the dog the Tactical Corgi patch was drawn from, in a tactical vest with an Airsoftology patch and a Call Your Hits patch

Chloe, June 2016.

It started with a corgi.

A 1998 anime had a corgi named Ein. Years later our founder got a corgi of his own and named her Chloe. He drew Chloe as a patch. That patch became Tactical Corgi, and Tactical Corgi accidentally started a company.

That is genuinely the whole origin story. She is still the reason there is a corgi on half the things we make.

How we got here

We have been at this a while

From a rough Airsoftology patch to a wall of glow-in-the-dark morale patches. We kept the receipts. Swipe through.

  1. The very first Airsoftology patch

    Late 2009

    The very first Airsoftology patch

    The 08 is for 2008, the year of the first Airsoftology podcast. Our first web store opened the next year, and this patch was on it. The stitching runs right through the black corner. We kept it anyway.

  2. Team Spartans and the early odds and ends

    2010 to 2015

    Team Spartans and the early odds and ends

    Our first team patch for Team Spartans at Nashville Airsoft, then our own lambda redesign. Plus a hand-drawn knife bunny that sold a couple hundred, and an Airsoftology run so off-color it sold out anyway.

  3. Airsoftology patch, take two

    Nov 2015

    Airsoftology patch, take two

    The second Airsoftology patch, on Matt's pack at a field day. Better than the first. Not by much.

  4. Chloe becomes a patch

    2016

    Chloe becomes a patch

    Our founder drew his corgi, Chloe, and had her woven. The very first corgi patch. It shows.

  5. The first PVC corgi

    June 2017

    The first PVC corgi

    The redraw, in PVC. Same year the shop moved from WordPress to Shopify. A real step up, and still not the last one.

  6. Corgis for every occasion

    2017 to 2018

    Corgis for every occasion

    A Santa hat for Christmas 2017, a boy and girl pair for the Year of the Dog, then a reindeer for Christmas 2018. A little faded now. Still ours.

  7. Jim Elston joins

    June 2018

    Jim Elston joins

    A Disney and DreamWorks animator takes over the tactical dog collection. These are his first sketches for us. One became Tactical Corgi, and Ein came out of the same batch.

  8. Patch Fiend, registered

    Patch Fiend, registered

    The name becomes a registered trademark. Officially a thing.

  9. Glow becomes the new standard

    May 2026

    Glow becomes the new standard

    Glow in the dark stops being a special edition and becomes how we make them.

  10. The first 1st Edition

    June 2026

    The first 1st Edition

    The Sparkle SSR D20: a run of twenty, one for each face of the die.
