This is the stripped-back version of the baseball design. No ball, no outline, no fill, nothing. Just the two curved red seam lines that everyone recognises from a real baseball, arranged in that characteristic X formation. If youre a baseball person, you know exactly what this is the second you see it. Even if youre not, the two red curves against fabric have a natural visual appeal that works regardless.
Single red thread, all running stitch. Stitch counts go from 2,650 at the 2 inch size up to 10,148 at 8 inches wide. Seven sizes available from 2 inches all the way to 8 inches. The size range here is really useful because the 2 inch version works on a cap or collar, the 4-5 inch works as a chest placement, and the 8 inch works as a centred back graphic on a large tee. A customer told me last summer they'd used the 8 inch version as a centred back piece on jerseys and it held up beautifully at that scale. The low stitch count means its fast even at the bigger sizes.
Stitch this on cotton, canvas, polyester blend, or denim. Use cutaway stabiliser on stretch fabrics and tearaway on wovens. Try a fine sharp needle to keep the running stitch seam lines clean and well defined. Skip heavily textured fabric because the simple lines can get lost in the weave. Pop the small size on a collar or cuff for a minimal accent, or use the large version centred on a tee for a bold sports graphic that doesnt need any words around it.
People love the minimal version of this for caps, bags, tees, and towels. Its versatile, quick to stitch, and every baseball person immediately gets what it is.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
