My sister stitched this onto her son's jersey bag last winter and shared me the photo, the name came out so sharp under that orange ball I almost thought it was printed. Thats the whole point of this design, basketball up top and a name bar below where the player name or team goes. Two sections split by a clean horizontal line like the ball's resting on a surface.
Two colours throughout. Orange for the ball body and black for the seam curves, the outline, and the name panel underneath. Back it with a medium cutaway stabiliser, the satin lines on the seams are directional and need something stable or they'll pull on jersey knit. At the 5-inch and 6-inch sizes the stitch count climbs toward 20k so dont rush the colour swap between orange and black, let the machine trim properly between them. Density runs 527 in industry tools so the satin seam lines are firm but the orange fill body isnt overly stiff.
Six sizes, smallest is 3 inch at 5,743 stitches and largest is 6.3 inch at 26,571 stitches. The 3-inch fits a bag patch or a shirt sleeve. The 4 to 5 inch range is what most people use for youth jersey fronts and bag panels. The 6-inch on a heavy canvas tote or a duffel front looks solid. Run the name section in black satin on lighter fabrics so it reads clearly and doesnt sink into the background.
Personalise with a kid's name, a jersey number, a team nickname, whatever fits the banner. Works on cotton, canvas, twill, jersey knit if you use a stabiliser. The personalisation area is blank in the file so you add your own lettering in your software before stitching out. Its flexible, you can match whatever font your team already uses.

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.
