Bad guess - not US emblems (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

badges

'emblems' is the definition.
(badge is a kind of emblem)

'bad guess not us' is the wordplay.
'not' is a deletion indicator.
'guess' with 'us' taken out is 'ges'.
'bad'+'ges'='BADGES'

(Other definitions for badges that I've seen before include "They are worn to show membership of an organisation" , "Emblems, labels" , "Emblems to signify rank or membership" , "Things worn to show membership or rank" , "Emblems of membership etc." .)
