Detroit Lions Lion Head Banner Embroidery File | Blue White Mascot Wordmark

The Detroit Lions lion head mascot rising above the LIONS wordmark banner with the chin and lower mane overlapping the upper zone of the letters. LIONS occupies the lower portion of the composition as the base element: five letters in wide bold varsity block typeface with heavy stroke widths, Honolulu blue fill, and thick white satin border on each letter, the banner silhouette forming a wide arch along its lower edge. The lion head and neck emerge above the banner center in three-quarter profile facing left: white satin fill for the face and cheek, blue satin fill for the mane strands with white satin strand borders, white satin anatomy lines defining the brow, eye, cheek, and jaw, and the voluminous mane crown extending outward above and behind the head. The lion overlaps the I and O letters at the banner top edge, stitching as the final layer in the z-order so it reads as a foreground element in front of the banner below. Ten sizes from 2.5 to 7 inches wide.

Ten sizes from 2.5 to 7 inches wide. Minimum hoop required is 4x4 inches. Two thread colors: Honolulu blue and white.

Sizes and Stitch Counts

Embroidery Formats Included

26 formats included, compatible with virtually every home and commercial embroidery machine currently in use.

Recommended Uses

Center chest on hoodies and sweatshirts, left-chest on polo shirts and fan jerseys, cap fronts at 2.5 to 3 inches, and sleeve or jacket placement at the larger sizes. The blue and white reads cleanly on white, gray, and navy garments. One of the most compositionally integrated designs in the Lions collection, where the mascot and wordmark are a single unified mark rather than a stacked pair.

Stitching Tips

Stitch the LIONS banner and all letter fills and borders as the complete base element first, then the lion neck, white face fill, blue mane fills, and white mane strand borders in sequence above the banner. The overlap zone must be the final pass — any lion element stitched before the banner in that zone will be covered by the banner rather than covering it, reversing the intended spatial read. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabilizer on knit and stretch fabrics. At 2.5 and 3 inches on textured fabrics, apply water-soluble topping to preserve the letter counter spaces, mane detail, and lion facial line work.
