Detroit Lions Mascot Wordmark Embroidery File | Leaping Lion

The Detroit Lions leaping lion mascot with DETROIT LIONS wordmark on an open garment field. The lion is depicted mid-leap in the team's classic lateral profile: body angled upward to the right, tail raised and curling at the tip, front paws extended forward, rear legs tucked. The full Honolulu blue satin fill covers the complete body. A silver-white satin border traces the full figure perimeter including every mane spike tuft, the tail curl, paw pad divisions, and facial contour. Over a dozen individual spike tufts project from the head and neck perimeter, each with its own pointed silver-bordered tip. Silver or white satin anatomy lines trace the shoulder, foreleg, ribcage, haunches, and rear leg musculature over the blue fill. The lion face in lateral profile shows a snarling open mouth with teeth detail, a forward eye with highlight, and the brow ridge line. Below the mascot, DETROIT LIONS is set in bold blue italic block lettering in the team's characteristic angular forward-leaning typeface. Eight sizes from 3.5 to 7 inches.

Eight sizes from 3.5 to 7 inches wide. Minimum hoop required is 4x4 inches. Two thread colors: Honolulu blue and silver-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 3.5 to 4 inches, and sleeve or jacket placement at the larger sizes. The Honolulu blue reads most vividly on white and gray garments. The primary full-identity lockup for Detroit Lions fan apparel where both the mascot and team name are needed in a single placement.

Stitching Tips

Stitch the blue lion fill first as the base layer, then the silver border passes including all mane spike borders, then the anatomy lines over the blue fill, then the DETROIT LIONS wordmark below. Completing the full blue fill before silver passes prevents silver fiber migration into the blue fill zone at the spike and anatomy boundary edges. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabilizer on knit and stretch fabrics. At 3.5 and 4 inches on textured fabrics, apply water-soluble topping to preserve the mane spike tip geometry and anatomy line detail.
