Classic Baseball Circle Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Sketched in this one as a kinda badge-style take on the classic baseball, the sort of thing you see on varsity jackets from the 80s. Its literally just the ball, no bat, no glove, nothing extra. A thick satin outer ring in black, a pale grey body inside with a white directional sweep to suggest the curve of the surface, and the red seam lines cutting across in that familiar double-curve pattern. Clean. Four colours total, grey plus white plus red plus black, 3 colour changes.

Five sizes: 2.02 inches up to 6.04 inches. At the small end theres 3,919 stitches, at the large end it gets to 16,522 because the satin border ring builds up density fast. Density overall is 455, which is on the higher side, so use a good firm cutaway stabiliser and dont skimp. my software handled the digitising and the border ring uses directional satin in a radial layout so it sits flat instead of bunching on the curves. Topping on pique or any textured polo fabric actually helps the pale fill stay smooth.

One customer last winter grabbed the 6-inch file for a jacket back panel on a twill varsity piece. They sent photos and the satin ring looked genuinely sharp, the kind of finish you usually only get from screen printing. Send me a note if you want to confirm sizing before you hoop, Im happy to help. The 2-inch version drops onto a cap front without crowding the brim seam, thats the most common use Ive seen.

Best on woven fabrics: cotton twill, canvas, denim. Pairs well with a team name or year stitched in an arc above or below. Dark backgrounds work fine as long as you run a light underlay pass on the inner body so the base colour doesnt bleed through. Use a topping on any pique or mesh sports fabric.
