The patch is a circle containing a blue field bordered in
gold. At the base of the circle is the squadron's number
expressed in a red Roman numeral accented with black. A black
cat with one red eye stands atop the numeral. Two fighters,
flying in formation from right to left across the patch, execute
a climbing turn and leave gold contrails. The 25th Squadron is
nicknamed after the Redeye missile; the black cat with a single
red eye symbolizes this. "Redeye" typifies the unerring accuracy
of the squadron in reaching its goals. The blue background
symbolizes the sky. The two fighters in formation signify
comradeship. The gold contrails left by the fighters indicate
that this comradeship is long-lasting and follows cadets into
the Air Force. This is the squadron's original patch.
