Bring vintage campus spirit to your stitching with this Rice Owls design, built around a stylised owl in full flight. The spread wings, pointed tail feathers and extended talons give it that bold late-70s to mid-80s mascot look associated with Rice University. It is a strong choice for alumni, students and college-sports fans who want a cleaner, more old-school emblem than a modern crest.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits well on sweatshirts, denim jackets, twill shirts and sturdy tote bags without turning heavy. The single-colour treatment keeps the flying owl crisp and graphic, especially on contrasting fabrics where the blue-and-white look can stand out. It works particularly well as a mascot appliqué style piece on back yokes, jacket fronts or the chest of a pullover where the wings have room to read clearly.
