The detail

Description

Bring clean collegiate style to your stitching with this The Citadel Bulldogs logo design, built around the bold block C, star and THE CITADEL wordmark in light blue and navy. It has the crisp, modern look fans, students, alumni and supporters will recognise straight away, without a lot of extra detail competing for attention. That makes it a strong choice when you want a smart team emblem rather than a busy full-coverage motif.

Because it uses just 2 thread colours and has an open, lightly-stitched build, it suits everyday items that need the logo to sit clearly without feeling heavy. It looks especially at home on polo shirts, sweatshirts, softshell jackets, caps and kit bags, where the block C and star can read well at a glance. The simpler stitch style also works well on practical fabrics such as cotton piqué, fleece and twill, giving you a clean finish with a collegiate sports feel.
