This design centres on a Northern Colorado Bears football helmet, stitched with the team wordmark, a bear head and a paw print in white, black, grey, purple and gold. It has the solid, graphic look that suits University of Northern Colorado supporters who want something more characterful than a plain text logo. The "NORTHERN COLORADO" lettering keeps it readable at a glance, while the helmet and facemask give it that proper on-field feel.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched seven-colour design, it sits best on sturdier fabrics that can carry the detail well, such as sweatshirts, denim jackets, canvas totes and equipment bags. It also works nicely on the back of a hoodie, the chest of a varsity-style jacket or a blanket for a sporty, collegiate finish. The contrast of the pale helmet against the darker outlines helps the bear graphics and wording stay clear rather than disappearing into the stitching.
