The eagle is set inside a circular shield and the whole thing reads like a proper badge or patch design. Deep navy on the outer ring, red and white swirling stripes filling the inner disc, and the bald eagle head breaking forward from the centre in ice blue and white with that sharp yellow beak and serious forward stare. Stars sit in the blue panel. The circular border makes it self-contained, which is why it works so well on caps and patch blanks without any awkward cropping.
Four colours total: navy, red, white, and that pale ice blue on the eagle itself. Clean and punchy. Stitch count runs from 21,453 at 3.51 inches up to 57,675 on the full 7.5-inch, with density around 1046. Digitised in Wilcom with proper directional stitching on the eagle feather detail so theres real depth on the head rather than a flat printed look. Thats 9 sizes from 3.51 to 7.5 inches and theyre all sharp.
I made this with hat embroiderers and custom apparel shops in mind, it sits perfectly on a 5-panel cap front because of the circular shape. People have been buying it for fire station merch, law enforcement gift shops, veterans groups, custom t-shirt sellers. One customer grabbed 3 sizes last july and runs the medium on caps, the large on hoodie chests, and the small on shirt pockets. Smart setup, and I hear it sells really well for him.
Best results on white, cream or light grey fabric where the red and navy really sing. Skip busy patterned materials, the design has enough going on internally. Back it with woven cutaway for for caps and knit fabrics, and a mid-weight tearaway on stable woven cotton or canvas. Slow the machine speed on the eagle head section because the directional satin columns need clean bobbin tension to stay crisp. Dont rush it on the 57k version, its worth the time.

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.
