What sizes are included?

There are 12 sizes included, from 3"–10" (all approximate). You get every size in the download, so you can stitch the same design on a pocket or across a back.

How many stitches and colours is this design?

62,261 stitches at the 7" size and 10 thread colours. There are 14 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 864 ft top thread · 267 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 2,102 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

Show your colours with college grit in this Samford Bulldog University design, built around a bulldog head in profile with an open mouth, visible teeth and a pointed spiked collar. The blue swoosh behind the mascot and the block SAMFORD lettering give it that unmistakable sports-logo feel, while the white, blue, red, grey and black palette keeps the look crisp and assertive. It suits Samford supporters, students, alumni and football fans who want a cleaner, tougher mascot mark rather than a soft or playful animal design.

This is the kind of embroidery that looks right on varsity-style jackets, hoodies, sweatshirts, gym bags and sturdy caps, especially on darker fabrics where the white muzzle and lettering stand out. With 10 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched build, it has the solid, filled-in look that works well for bold team branding and holds its shape visually from smaller placements up to large back-of-jacket statements. If you want a university design with bite, this bulldog profile delivers a strong sideline-to-stand presence.
