What sizes are included?

How many stitches and colours is this design?

70,434 stitches at the 7" size and 5 thread colours. There are 7 colour changes in the stitch order, so that is how many times you will swap thread.

How much thread will I need?

At the largest stitched size this design uses roughly 1361 ft top thread · 531 ft bobbin. Smaller sizes use proportionally less. Treat it as a guide for topping up a colour before you start, not an exact figure.

What stabiliser and fabric should I use?

This is a dense design at roughly 1,434 stitches per square inch. Cut-away stabiliser is the safe choice. Best on stable, heavier fabrics — cotton twill, denim, fleece, sweatshirting.

Is this a patch or a finished item?

No. This is a digital embroidery design — a set of machine files you download. It is not a patch, a transfer, or any physical item, and nothing is posted to you. You will need an embroidery machine and a way to transfer the files to it.

The detail

Description

Bring retro courtside style to your stitching with this vintage New York Nets 1972–1977 logo design, built around the classic circular emblem in red, blue and white. The large red "NY", blue script "nets" and oval swoosh give it that unmistakable old-school basketball identity, making it a strong choice for Nets collectors, NBA logo fans and anyone drawn to Madison Square Garden-era team graphics. It has the neat, graphic impact that works especially well when you want one logo to carry the whole piece.

Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design with 5 thread colours, it suits sturdier fabrics that can support a solid fill, such as denim jackets, twill shirts, sweatshirts and canvas totes. Stitch it as a chest logo, on a sleeve, or scale it up for the back of a varsity-style jacket where the circular shape reads clearly from a distance. The bold blocks of red and blue against the white centre keep the design crisp and recognisable, whether you are making fanwear or adding a vintage sports touch to everyday clothing.
