How much thread will I need?

At the largest stitched size this design uses roughly 470 ft top thread · 180 ft bobbin. Smaller sizes use proportionally less. Treat it as a guide for topping up a colour before you start, not an exact figure.

What stabiliser and fabric should I use?

This is a medium design at roughly 952 stitches per square inch. Cut-away or a firm tear-away stabiliser is the safe choice. Comfortable on most wovens and stable knits.

Is this a patch or a finished item?

No. This is a digital embroidery design — a set of machine files you download. It is not a patch, a transfer, or any physical item, and nothing is posted to you. You will need an embroidery machine and a way to transfer the files to it.

How do I receive my files?

Instantly. Your download appears on the confirmation screen the moment payment clears, is emailed to you, and is saved in your account library so you can re-download it at any time.

Can I use this commercially?

Yes — choose the Small business or Extended commercial licence to sell finished items you stitch. The Personal licence covers gifts and items you keep.

The detail

Description

Bring gridiron attitude to fanwear with this Nike Raiders-inspired embroidery design, built around big varsity-style lettering, a central shield crest and the unmistakable swoosh. The helmeted face, eyepatch and crossed swords give it that tough Raiders look, while the black, white and grey palette keeps everything sharp and wearable. It suits sports fans who like bold logo-style embroidery with a cleaner, collegiate edge rather than lots of colour.

This is a strong choice for the back or chest of a hoodie, a heavyweight sweatshirt, a denim jacket or a black tote where the contrast can do the work. With 3 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough fill to feel substantial without losing the definition in the lettering and shield details. Dark fabrics will make the white and grey elements stand out best, though it would also sit well on sturdy grey fleece for a more understated look.
