Hehe, this thread makes me chuckle. When I'm home for breaks I see a fair amount of burberry letters (I'm talking about you Hofstra SAE!!). But I guess that's just how it is up here - I shudder to think of all the tacky guido Delta Chi letters are running around that campus. And for the record, if you're a guy with patterned letters I'm judging you.

OMG -GUYS with designer patterned letters? That's beyond guido, I don't even know of a word for that. One of my guy friends had plaid letters and I thought even that was pushing it.

Ahh, but you forget this is Strong Island. When we become our own state there will even be a law mandating excessive guido-ness.

Unfortunately, I saw a guy in Sig Pi walking around with Burberry letters just this week. Wish I was kidding.

LMAO. Hofstra is hardly bastion of fashion forward-ness, especially when it comes to letters.
and SI is really New Jersey the Annex. i refuse to let it be considered part of NYC with all that "guidoness".
and on the top of patterned letters: ive actually come around on patterns. Ive seen some really cute ones (polka dots, stripes) but ive seen some gross/unnecessary ones. like the Sammies at Brooklyn College with Mets logo-print letters. really guys?

I resent that. We have our own Guidos to deal with.

Patterns seem to be most common with women I noticed. Though some of the TKEs at my school use them. I've seen some ridiculous ones like dollar signs. Speaking for myself though, I wouldn't mind a set of Yankee pattern letters.

EXACTLY! What's wrong with getting letters in blue and orange (or gray and blue for fans of the WORLD CHAMPIONS) - translatable into real life and appropriate in sports settings. I equate sports t-shirts with twelve year old boys, so sports logo letters just seem very juvenile to me.

I have a commission for pillows for a client's 3 sons and one of the son's girlfriends. The client wants the pillows to have the college symbol on one side and their greek letters on the other.
For Son1 and the GF (they both attend the same school), she bought 2 pairs of the college-specific Vineyard Vines lounge pants in different colorways for me to use for the letters.the logo, and pillow piping. Son2's pillows will have his college symbol in the exact colors of the school and his letters and piping in school-color plaid. Both boys and the GF attend colleges where the fraternity members rarely wear stitched-letter shirts around campus. The Greek women do, but to a lesser extent than other places.
Son3 who still in K-12 is not nearly as labor-intensive as he will be getting a pillow made from his school t-shirt and award patches.

that sounds pretty awesome! i'd love one with my school's logo and letters, but there's nothing "go team" about a purple torch and my letters combined.

Though your school does have one of the most recognizable logos I have ever seen. Hmm a highlander combined with Psi U would be pretty badass come to think of it.

The schools
The letters are not centered top to bottom because the client wants to add monograms for each pillow owner.

I think our mascot is really creepy lol. I think it'd look terrible with anyone's letters. Sure it's a Blue Devil but... idk, the 70s porno stache just isn't doing it for me.
ETA: He used to also have an ear ring.. I guess they scrapped that.

I've never seen that symbol....What school is that? What are the other schools, too? I think I must live under a rock..lol
I'd love one with the Penn State Nittany Lion and Phi Mu letters....I know my guy would like one with Otto (Syracuse's mascot) and his Alpha Chi Sigma letters on it....Do you make those for people to buy? I bet you'd make a killing with people (like myself) who have school spirit and love for their GLOs! You are VERY talented!!!

The D is for Denison University. The motif on the t-shirt pillow is a prep school mascot. The Washington and Lee University trident is actually the letters "W" and "L" superimposed on each other.
You should be able to find Penn State and Syracuse fabric fairly easily as many Division 1 big sport schools have licensed fabric for sale. Just make sure the motif is small enough for the design of your applique. The W&L fabrics that I used were pajama pants bought at the college bookstore. With careful cutting, the pants were turned into boxer length shorts and the chopped off legs were able to be used for the applique designs.
