 ===Official blazon===
+Badge: On an eight-pointed star Or a Maltese Cross Argent each point pommelled Gules ensigned by the Royal Crown proper and surmounted by a torteau charged with a pronghorn antelope trippant on a wreath Or within an annulus Gules edged and inscribed SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN REGIMENT in letters Or.
 ===Origin/meaning===
+There is no record of the reason for the Regiment's choice of elements for the badge. The Royal Crown is a clear reference to service to the Crown. The antelope represents the natural splendour of the prairies. As well, the antelope's swiftness may symbolize the Regiment's speed and determination in battle.
+The badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on March 15, 2004.
