Fun Uses For Rocker Patches

Updated Jun 25, 2024

Here at E-Patches & Crests, we carry a wide variety of Rocker patches, but you may be asking yourself: What are rockers even for? Our rockers are meant to track years, letting you record the years you’ve earned different patches.

  • Curved rockers are meant to fit around patches
    • two-inch patches fit six rockers
    •  three-inch patches fit nine.
  • Straight rockers are meant to fit underneath a patch (or around the outside if the patch is rectangular)
    • Straight rockers can stack on top of each other to create a mini-timeline

Track Dates With Rockers

If you earn the same patch multiple times in your life, track the years you have earned it by adding different yearly rockers around the outside. Rockers are also great for tracking which years your kids go to a specific camp and are a unique way of capturing memories without needing to buy a duplicate patch. Rockers can even be used just to remember the year you earned a specific patch – you don’t need to earn the same badge for multiple years to decorate your patches with a rocker.

Track your holidays, too! If you like visiting the same city every few years, track the years you’ve taken a trip there with rockers. Customize your travel luggage with unique, making it easier to reclaim your luggage at baggage claim. It’s also a great way to strike up a conversation with a fellow traveller!

Track Other Yearly Events

Rockers can also be used to set a yearly challenge for yourself! Motivate yourself to do some spring cleaning every year by adding another rocker under your spring cleaning patch. By adding another patch to your collection each year, you can motivate yourself by proving to yourself that you’ve managed to get the job done in the past. Spring cleaning isn’t the only thing you can motivate yourself to do, such as donating socks, volunteering at a soup kitchen, or participating in a walk for a cure to cancer. By giving yourself a yearly reminder, you encourage yourself to persevere. 

Track Your Hikes

Our hiking rockers are great for tracking distances for our hiking sets. If you want to set a hiking goal for yourself, our hiking set is right for you! Encourage yourself to gradually do longer and longer hikes, allowing you to enjoy more beautiful nature views each time. Or, track the total distance you’ve hiked by gradually adding new rockers onto your set as you hike more. Whatever you decide to use our hiking rockers for, they are a great way to encourage yourself to steadily increase your physical activity. 

Our Patches

Our rockers are great for any occasion you wish to remember. We bring out a new rocker for each year so you can keep track of all your holidays and achievements!
