Bring festival detail to your stitching with this New Orleans Mardi Gras pelican design, built around bold NIKE lettering and a swoosh framed by carnival icons. The pelican sits among a street lamp, arched umbrella, trumpet, mask, beads, fleur-de-lis and flying streamers, with purple, gold and green doing exactly the work you want them to here. It suits makers sewing for Mardi Gras fans, Louisiana-themed pieces, or anyone who wants a sport-led design with much more character than a standard logo.
With 15 thread colours and a dense satin-fill style, this is the kind of design that reads best on sturdy fabrics that can carry the detail well, such as denim jackets, heavyweight hoodies, canvas totes and sweatshirt backs. The heavier stitching gives the lettering and small motifs real presence, while the larger size range lets you go from a compact chest placement to a full, showpiece panel. If you want a design that feels busy in the right way, with plenty to look at from the pelican down to the little medallion and street sign, this one delivers that Mardi Gras richness.
