Women’s Baseball 1943 Design Details

Machine-embroidered on a sand-colored sweatshirt, this design features a faded red vintage pennant shape containing ‘WOMEN’S BASEBALL’ in cream varsity lettering with ‘1943’ beneath. Flanking the pennant: a crossed wooden bat and leather glove rendered in warm saddle brown and tan threads — five thread colors total creating authentic depth. The 20cm x 18cm embroidery includes the phrase ‘Play Like a Girl’ in small arched text below the pennant. Every stitch honors the athletic retro aesthetic of wartime women athletes who changed sports history forever. The warm sand base fabric complements the cream, vintage red, and brown color palette perfectly.
