Straits of Hormuz Flying Club patch

[Siamundo]

I thought this was a little different. The Straight of Hormuz is the waterway the connects the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman and separates the countries of Iran and Oman. I was curious about the unusual shape of the patch though. It somewhat resembles an elongated acorn. Although this may really be stretching it, I though the outline might also slightly resemble the silhouette of an Ayatollah. Does anyone have any insight as to the reason behind the shape?

I like the patch! When I first looked at it resembles a mushroom cloud!

Thanks 268th C.A. I hadn't thought about that but you are right. It does!
