I Had Potential Graph V2 Design Details
This V2 edition features a precise left-chest badge placement, meticulously stitched in bright #FFFFFF white thread against a deep navy blue background. The embroidery measures approximately 9cm x 6cm, showcasing a smooth upward curve that transitions into a horizontal stall, punctuated by a distinct end-dot. We use a modern, geometric sans-serif font for the ‘I HAD POTENTIAL’ text, ensuring the line weight of the lettering perfectly matches the graph for a cohesive, professional finish. This single-color embroidery provides a clean, high-contrast look that withstands countless washes without fading.
