Detroit Lions Mascot Football Embroidery File | Lion Wordmark 

A three-element vertical lockup in Honolulu blue and white stacked in descending scale. The leaping lion mascot sits at the top: blue fill body, white satin perimeter border tracing all mane spike tufts, and white internal anatomy lines. Below it, LIONS is set in large bold italic blue satin lettering with a thick white satin border outlining each letter, the border following the italic angle at every stroke end. Two thin horizontal white satin lines run across the full composition width below the wordmark as structural separators. The football lace panel is centered between them: a blue satin fill panel with white satin vertical lace bars crossing it and two small blue bracket accent shapes extending from the left and right ends. No background fill. All three elements share a common horizontal center axis. Nine sizes from 3 to 7 inches tall.

Nine sizes from 3 to 7 inches tall. 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 3 to 3.5 inches, and sleeve or jacket placement at the larger sizes. The portrait orientation suits tall placements well, and the three-element composition makes this the strongest choice in the Lions collection for supporters who want the mascot, team name, and sport symbol in a single self-contained design.

Stitching Tips

Stitch the blue fills first across all three zones — lion body, LIONS letter fills, and football panel — then the white border and detail passes as the final layer. Running all white elements last keeps the thick LIONS letter borders, the lion anatomy lines, and the lace bars sitting cleanly above the blue base without the blue fills encroaching on white boundaries during the run. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabilizer on knit and stretch fabrics. At 3 and 3.5 inches on textured fabrics, apply water-soluble topping to preserve the LIONS letter border edge quality and the lace bar detail.
