Bring vintage tiger charm to your stitching with this Memphis Tigers 1965 to 1972 University of Memphis design, centred on a seated cartoon tiger with a striped tail, sharp whiskers and one striking green eye. The orange, black and white palette, plus the grey shading on the muzzle and paws, gives it the look of an older collegiate mascot rather than a modern sports logo. It suits University of Memphis alumni, long-time fans and anyone putting together a retro college-themed jacket or sweatshirt.
Because the design is dense and heavily stitched, it has the solid, filled-in presence that works especially well on sturdier fabrics such as denim, twill, canvas and sweatshirt fleece. The four-thread-colour build keeps the look clean and bold, letting the black stripes, white paws and green eye read clearly from a distance. It makes a strong chest, back or tote placement when you want the mascot itself to carry the piece.
