The raised fist sits centre, stitched dense in black with 1865 right above the knuckles in thick block numbers. Around it, wide ribbon curves flow out in red, green and gold, the Pan-African colours, wrapping around the sides like motion lines from the gesture itself. Its a bold design and it carries its meaning clearly. No background fill, just the fist and the flowing colour ribbons against whatever fabric you choose.
Four colours total, black, red, green, gold. The ribbon sections use smooth satin columns so they look rounded and flowing, not flat. Stitch count ranges from 3,161 on the 2-inch up to 12,130 on the 6-inch. And my professional tool handled the ribbon curves cleanly without the density building up at the overlap points, which is where these multi-ribbon designs usually go wrong.
I get asks for this one every june without fail, people use it for juneteenth events, community organisation tees, and vendor market shirts. Its a design that means something to the people buying it and they want it stitched clean. One customer last june ordered it on 40 tees for a block party and sent me photos, the black fist on white cotton looked sharp from across the street.
Pair midweight cutaway with all fabric types because the dense fist fill needs proper backing or itll pucker at the edges. Woven cotton and canvas both work great, the satin ribbon sections look especially sharp on tight weaves. Pop the 2-inch on a hat or cap front, the 4-inch sits well on a shirt chest, and the 6-inch on canvas tote for full impact.
Anything wrong with the download or the stitch file just reach out through the shop chat and I'll fix it up for you right away.

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.
