      Prvi je znak brigade izradio F. Tomičić, a ubrzo je 1993. izrađen i novi znak, koji prikazuje glavu vuka u crveno-bijelo šahiranom štitu ispred uzdignutog zlatnog mača, prema likovnom rješenju Z. Klanca i M. Smolčića. Iznad je u vrpci dvoredni natpis "9. gardijska brigada", a znak je obrubljen zlatnim pleterom u obliku heraldičkog štita.

Klanac and M. Smolčić. Above the ribbon is a two-line inscription "9th Guards Brigade", and the sign is bordered with gold braid in the shape of a heraldic shield.

      Deveta gardijska brigada - "Vukovi" stvorena je iz postrojbi koje su tijekom 1991.-1992. godine borile u Lici. Bile su to 118. i 133. brigada HV-a, a dio gardista došao je iz ostalih krajeva Hrvatske. Brigada je službeno zaživjela 1. studenog 1992. godine kao 6. gardijska brigada. Prvi zapovjednik bio je general - bojnik Mirko Norac, a njegov zamjenik Milan Čanić – Bićo. Brigada je izvorno nosila broj 6, odnosno, bila je 6. gardijskom brigadom. Tijekom njenog postojanja kroz postrojbu je prošlo oko 8000 pripadnika, 56 pripadnika položilo je svoj život, a preko 150 je ranjeno.

      Šaljivu podudarnost se primijetilo tek tjedan dana kasnije. Naime, gardijska brigada iz Gospića je dobila isti broj, kojeg je imala i Titova 6. lička. Tako su šale o sličnostima i istovjetnostima Tuđmana i Tita dobile pojačanje time što je Tuđman, pored bijele zapovjedničke odore, Brijuna, i prije svega, time što je Zagorac i državni predsjednik, kao i Tito, "dobio i svoju 6. ličku." Nakon tjedan dana, brigadi je dodijeljen novi broj.

      The Ninth Guards Brigade - "Wolves" was created from units that during 1991-1992 years fought in Lika. They were the 118th and 133rd HV Brigades, and some of the guards came from other parts of Croatia. The brigade officially came to life on November 1, 1992 as the 6th Guards Brigade. The first commander was Major General Mirko Norac, and his deputy Milan Canic - Bico. The brigade originally wore the number 6, so it was the 6th Guards Brigade. During its existence, about 8,000 members passed through the unit, 56 members laid down their lives, and over 150 were wounded.

      A humorous coincidence was noticed only a week later. Namely, the Guards Brigade from Gospić received the same number as Tito's 6th Lika brigade. Thus, jokes about the similarities and identities of Tudjman and Tito were reinforced by the fact that Tudjman, in addition to the white command uniform, Brijuni islands, and above all, by same region Zagoje and the state president, as well as Tito, "got his 6th Lika brigade" After a week, the brigade was assigned a new number.
