Bring vintage campus character to your stitching with this Northern Iowa Panthers design, based on the 1964 to 1967 University of Northern Iowa mascot look. The cartoon panther stands out in gold and purple, dressed in a sweater and trousers with a curled tail, whiskers, collar and the "SCI" lettering across the chest. It is a strong pick for alumni, college sports historians and anyone who prefers older mascot art to modern, sharper branding.
This looks especially good on sweatshirts, varsity-style jackets, tote bags and blanket corners where that mid-century mascot style can do the talking. With just two thread colours and a moderately dense build, it gives you a bold vintage result without relying on lots of colour changes. The wide size range also makes it easy to use the same design on anything from a subtle chest placement to a larger statement piece on heavier fabrics.
