Embroidered patches

A small patch.
A shared identity.

One mark for a club-wide campaign, with your school’s authorized artwork at the center.

One authorized shared design
Specification
Dimensions, backing and border to review

These quantities are the current patch planning scope, not terms for caps or tags. Other quantities and mixed-design campaigns are outside this patch scope.

School, team and event logos require authorization from the rights holder. An online logo is not permission to use it. No school or league affiliation is implied.

Discuss your patch idea
For the planning conversation: an embroidery coverage example
Technical embroidery coverage-map example, not a finished sample

Technical reference, not product proof.

This map separates proposed thread areas from exposed fabric. Its percentages, dimensions and labels describe this example only, not your agreed specification.

It does not establish production quality, attachment strength or wash performance.

The patch notebook

Look at the
whole patch.

The artwork is only one part of the specification. The face, edge and back need to be discussed together.

The face

Which parts of the mark need embroidery, and which could remain exposed fabric? Identify the lettering or symbol that must read clearly at the intended size.

Share the school’s approved colors as references. A screen rendering alone is not a thread-color approval.

The edge

Bring the outline you want: a circle, shield or custom silhouette. Ask how the proposed border affects that outline and the space available for artwork.

An edge shown in a concept is not confirmation that the same construction works for every shape.

The back

Describe the intended use before asking about a backing. Discuss whether attachment is part of your plan and who will apply the patch.

Do not assume heat application, adhesive or stitching suits a particular garment without reviewing the final requirements.

Construction choices below are questions for review, not a list of stocked options or guaranteed performance.

Where will it go?

Distributed as a keepsake

Tell us whether your club will hand out the patch unattached. Agree how recipients will understand the intended use.

Applied to an item

Identify the intended garment or accessory and the person handling attachment. Check usable space, seams and material constraints before agreeing dimensions.
