The detail

Description

Bring college grit to your stitching with this Northern Arizona Lumberjacks University design, built around a bearded lumberjack mascot standing over bold NAU LUMBERJACKS lettering. The blue cap, yellow shirt, raised axe and punching fist give it the punch of a classic athletic logo, while the mountain detail tucked into the A roots it firmly in Northern Arizona. It suits fans, students, alumni and anyone sewing for men’s football-inspired gear with a strong team look.

This is the kind of design that looks right on varsity jackets, heavyweight hoodies, sweatshirts, duffel bags and the back of a denim overshirt. With 5 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched build, it has the filled-in, solid presence that works best on sturdier fabrics rather than anything light or floaty. The bold block lettering and high-contrast blue, yellow, white and black palette help it read clearly from a distance, so it carries well on larger placements where you want the mascot to do the talking.
