Bring nautical college pride to your stitching with this Portland Pilots design, built around a ship’s wheel, anchor and flowing "Pilots" script. It has the feel of the 1979 to 2006 University of Portland identity, with a classic purple-and-white look that suits alumni, long-time supporters and collectors of older team marks. The nautical elements give it more character than a plain text logo, so it reads clearly while still feeling rooted in the Pilots name.
Because it is an open, lightly stitched design in a single thread colour, it sits neatly on sweatshirts, varsity-style jackets, gym bags and football-themed fanwear without turning heavy or stiff. It works especially well on smooth cotton, fleece and twill where the wheel and anchor can stay crisp and the script keeps its easy movement. Use it when you want a college logo with a bit more shape and story than a standard block emblem.
