The ball is flying to the right and its dragging a long tail of fire behind it. Red and orange flame tongues spread out wide at the back and taper to sharp points, layered in three colours so ya get real depth in the fire. The ball face is classic black-and-white panelled with proper satin column stitching on each pentagon. Its not a flat patch, the panels have shading so the ball reads round.
Seven colours. Nine sizes. Stitch count runs from 9,754 on the 1.69 by 3.51 inch up to 25,163 on the biggest 3.62 by 7.51. The fire sections use a directional satin fill that angles with the flame direction, which is how Wilcom keeps em looking lively rather than just flat orange blobs. Digitising like this takes abit longer but ya can see the difference when its stitched out. Ive done alot of sports designs and this ones flame trail is genuinely one of the best I've produced.
I get a lotta orders for this one from sports merch sellers and youth league team mums who want something that looks properly athletic rather than clip art. One football academy in leeds rang to say they used a bunch of these on squad hoodies last november and it looked brilliant. Lil bit proud of that one honestly.
Run this on navy, black or charcoal fabric and the flames really sing. White or pale grey shirts work too because the black outline on the ball pops hard against light grounds. Skip any busy camo or stripe pattern because the flame detail gets lost. Pair the smaller 4-inch size on a jacket chest and save the big 7.5-inch for a hoodie back or kit bag side panel.
Use a cutaway stabiliser underneath, the density is 926 and the fire edges have tight satin columns that will pucker on unstabilised jersey or fleece. Hoop it firm on all fabric types. Best to slow your machine down 10-15 percent for the densest flame sections near the ball, it keeps the colour changes clean.

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.
