Drop a creature hand on a soccer ball and you get this. Four thick green clawed fingers wrap around the ball from the back, knuckles chunky and rounded, grey claw tips curling over the top panel. The ball itself stays white with the standard pentagon panel lines in black running underneath the grip. Its kinda like a team mascot reached in from behind the design and just grabbed it.
5 colours total, bright green for the main finger fill, a darker green shadow layer that sits behind the knuckles to give them depth, grey-white on the claw tips, white on the ball and black for all the heavy satin outlines. The outlines are what holds the whole piece together, they're thick and clean, very much sports-print style. No background, just the hand and the ball floating on whatever fabric you run it on.
Black fabric or dark navy is where this really sings. The white ball panels read sharp against dark ground and the green pops hard. Last autumn a customer ordered the 5-inch for a black hoodie, wanted it centred on the chest, and it looked exactly like the kind of mascot print youd see on a league training kit. Use cutaway stabiliser on knit fabrics, the underlay matters here because the green fill areas are wide enough that they can pull on anything stretchy. Hoop firm.
Runs 15k stitches at 3.5 inches up to nearly 42k at the full 7.5-inch hoop. Thats a serious stitch count at the big size so give your machine a rest between runs on multi-piece batches. Best thread choice is a bright lime-leaning green, dont go too dark or youll lose the knuckle definition. Run at moderate speed and let the underlay do its job before the top stitching fills in.

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.
