Racquet Club

Step back onto the clay courts of the 1950s and ’60s with Racquet Club, a collection of 13 vintage-inspired tennis patches that look like they came out of a clubhouse trophy case. We researched old club emblems, tournament badges and pro-shop souvenirs to capture that authentic worn-in charm. You’ll find crossed wooden rackets, a shield crest from the Otter Bend Racquet Club, a Cedar Hollow Club Champion oval, a classic striped sneaker, a chair umpire’s stand, a fuzzy tennis ball, and bold lettered patches like Seed 4, Baseline, Mixed Doubles and Court 7 Reserve. Each design is digitized as a patch, with the basting steps built in, and most come in two sizes. Stitch them onto twill and trim them for jackets, totes, visors and racket covers, or skip the first two steps and embroider straight onto a garment. The full patch-making tutorial is waiting in the Education section. Perfect for the tennis lover in your life, or for anyone who still thinks whites and a wooden racket are the height of style.
