Bring mascot tradition to your stitching with this Appalachian State-inspired Mountaineer head, shown in side profile with a wide-brim hat, long beard and the unmistakable corncob pipe. The black, gold, grey and white palette gives it the strong contrast you want from a college-style emblem, while the eye, ear, mustache and beard keep the face readable rather than blocky. It suits alumni gifts, fanwear and campus-themed makes that need a classic, old-school university look.
This design would sit especially well on sweatshirt fronts, jacket backs, canvas totes and the chest of a polo or hoodie where the mascot profile can do the talking. With four thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough substance for sturdy fabrics such as twill, denim and fleece without looking thin or insubstantial. The range of sizes also makes it useful whether you want a smaller badge-style placement or a larger statement version on outerwear.
