Bring festive team spirit to your Christmas stitching with this Ball State Cardinals stocking design, styled around the 1965 to 1990 university cardinal mascot. The bold red stocking, crisp white cuff and black-outlined bird give it a strong old-school sports look that will appeal to alumni, long-time supporters and anyone who prefers classic college imagery over newer marks. With maroon, yellow, beige, red, white and black working together across eight thread colours, it reads clearly and keeps the mascot front and centre.
This is a strong choice for Christmas stockings, seasonal sweatshirts, quilted gift sacks and sturdy tote bags where the shape and outline can really show. The design is moderately dense, so it suits stable fabrics and projects with a bit of body better than very fine or stretchy materials. Offered from 3" to 10", it gives you room to stitch a small accent on festive accessories or make the mascot stocking the main feature on larger holiday pieces.
