The word VIBES runs 3 times stacked on top of each other. Top row its outline only, letters in red and yellow. Middle row is the same word but solid filled, bigger and bolder, the 3 colours splitting across each letter. Then a lil cursive strip right across the centre of those filled letters spells out 'black history' in flowing white script. Bottom row mirrors the outline style again. Whole thing sits square, like a bold typographic badge.
Four colours total and industry-grade software kept each section in its own thread path so the outlines and fills dont fight each other. The satin columns on the fat centre letters are proper dense, thats what gives them that raised, chunky look you get on a football jersey. Stitch count runs from 9,967 on the smallest 3.51-inch up to 26,781 on the 7.51-inch. 5 sizes, good range to cover tees, jackets, hats, and tote bags without resizing.
I been getting a steady bunch of orders for this one in january and february. A black student union president at a university up north ordered 3 dozen tees last february using the 6-inch size, one for every executive board member. She said the outlined-plus-filled letter contrast reads really well across a room when youre all standing on stage together. Thats proper feedback you cant fake.
Pair it on black cotton or a deep charcoal tee and the red, yellow and green really pop. Avoid busy patterns or mid-tone fabrics because the outlined top and bottom rows need contrast to read. Apply light tearaway on woven cotton, switch to cutaway on fleece or jersey. Skip the hat brim here, the 7.51 width is too wide for most cap fronts.
Run the smallest size on a canvas tote or a denim pocket for something lower-key. The badge-like shape sits perfectly centred on a chest pocket or bag front. Ping me if anything in the file looks off when you stitch it out.

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.
