A track and field program logo has one job: read clean from across a stadium and embroider clean at three inches on a hat. Below are five logo design templates that consistently land for track programs, the file formats the print and embroidery process needs, and the color and placement rules that let one logo work across every apparel piece without redrawing it.
An oval (representing the track) with the school name across the center and "TRACK & FIELD" curving along the bottom. The classic athletic-program lockup. Prints clean on tees, embroiders cleanly on hats, ages well over multiple seasons.
A horizontal baton graphic with the school name flanking it, year of program founding below. References the relay aesthetic. Works particularly well for programs with strong relay teams. Embroiders cleanly because the baton silhouette stays readable at small scale.
A winged foot graphic (the historic track and field symbol) or the school mascot with wings added, paired with the program name. Works for programs that want to lean into track's historic visual language.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.The school initials in a custom or strong athletic-block font, with "T&F" or "TRACK" as a smaller secondary mark. Versatile, modern, and works across every apparel piece. The most common modern program logo.
Strict typography only — school name in a single weight, "TRACK & FIELD" in a thinner weight below, single accent color. Lean and contemporary. Best for newer programs building a fresh identity rather than continuing a legacy mark.
Two file rules:
For color: build a dark-tee version (light or white logo) and a light-tee version (dark logo). One logo, two color variants, infinite garment colors.
Placement that scales from tee to hat to hoodie:
Free branded shop. Upload your logo, pick the products, launch in minutes. No minimum order.
Start FreeSVG is preferred. PNG with transparent background, 2000px wide minimum, is the fallback. Avoid JPEG or BMP for logo files.
Yes, when the mascot is the program's own design. Registered university mascot trademarks require official licensing. Most high school and middle school programs use their own version of the mascot freely.
Build two color variants of the logo. One for dark tees (light or white fill), one for light tees (dark or color fill). The team shop can carry the same product in multiple garment colors using the right logo variant.
Year of program founding ages well. Current academic year dates the piece. Use founding year on the program logo, academic year only on cohort-specific tees.
