The RY monogram isn't just about looks—the outfitter-style and trail blaze elements tell a story.

This badge brings together raw wilderness and regional pride in one striking image. At its heart is a close-up of the primary yak logo. Surrounding it, the badge's natural textures and contours evoke forests, ridgelines, and earth-toned trails. Then there's the inclusion of the Roanoke Star—parched high, glowing, and emblematic of this corner of Virginia. The star isn't just decoration; it's a beacon, a mark of place, of identity.
