Bring varsity attitude to your stitching with this Ball State Cardinals mascot design, built around a red cardinal in uniform with one finger raised and big N K E lettering behind. The white, black, red, yellow and grey palette gives it the look of classic college sports graphics, while the swoosh and "BALL STATE 1" text push the athletic feel even further. It suits fans, students and alumni who want something more characterful than a plain wordmark.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it should sit nicely on everyday fabrics such as sweatshirt fleece, cotton twill, canvas totes and jacket backs without turning overly heavy. The seven-thread-colour build keeps the look crisp and readable, so the mascot, belt detail and bird feet do not get lost. I’d use it on a hoodie chest, a varsity-style sleeve, a gym bag panel or the back of a denim jacket where that raised-finger mascot can really stand out.
