The Eighth Squadron chose the F for its emblem for two reasons: The F was the newest interceptor in the Air Force inventory, and the words eagle and eight begin with the same letter.

The four colored stars represent the four classes at the academy. The patch is an octagonal-shaped emblem. Within it, a Viking ship sails away on a bright orange-rayed sun in the background. A royal blue flag flies from a mast stretching upward from the deck of the ship. A large white sail, bordered in black, billows from the mast. The Roman numeral "IX" is centered on the sail. The keep of the ship has the design of a green dragon. The dragon symbolizes the power and tenacity that characterized the Vikings, early explorers of the vast seas.

The Vikings often sought adventure and were courageous in their exploration of uncharted lands around the globe. The patch is a circle of sky blue bordered in black. It shows the head of snarling tiger at its center. The tiger, the supreme symbol of tenacity and aggressiveness, was chosen by the 10th Squadron to symbolize the tradition of the Flying Tigers of World War II.

The lightning bolts and cloud symbolize power and the horizons open to members of the squadron. This is the original squadron patch. There may be a distinct color variation—a dark blue background—on one version. The squadron's patch consists of a white equilateral triangle, bordered in red, superimposed on a circular blue field. A red Arabic numeral "11" sits on silver prop and wings at the center. The triangle superimposed upon the circle is borrowed from the 6th Bomb Wing , the original squadron sponsor.

The triangle represents the Greek letter delta to remind all wearers that each new group of fourth classmen was assigned to Delta Squadron during basic cadet training. The three segments of the circle represent academics, athletics and military training. The silver prop and wings symbolize the cadet wing, while the large "11" identified the 11th Cadet Squadron.

The emblem bears the squadron's red and white colors; the gold, blue, silver and red class colors; and the cadet wing's blue and silver colors. The squadron patch was approved in and features a turquoise circle bordered in black.

The eponymous mythical character represented on the patch is borrowed from the insignia of the 13th Bomb Squadron and is emblematic of the reality of death in war, with which all aspiring warriors must come to terms. The patch has been challenged multiple times in the history of the squadron but has always survived due to its strong lineage and the support of the Cadet Wing at large.
