The detail

Description

Bring bold biker styling to your stitching with this Number 1 emblem design featuring a Harley-Davidson-style shield, a rectangular banner and the outlined wording "MOTOR HARLEY-DAVIDSON CYCLES". The layout is strong and graphic, with the big numeral doing most of the visual work while the black, white, orange and grey keep it close to classic motorcycle-club colours. It suits riders, collectors and anyone putting together a custom look for bike-themed clothing or gear.

Because it uses just 3 thread colours and is an open, lightly stitched design, it gives good impact without turning heavy or boardy on fabric. It would look particularly at home on the back or chest of a denim jacket, a canvas overshirt, a hoodie, a workshop shirt or a sturdy tote. The clean emblem shape also reads well on darker fabrics, where the white outline and orange sections help the design stand out crisply.
