This football applique seems to be one of the most popular ones for little boys. The name can be done to match your team colors. It can be done in brown gingham instead of the corduroy. The child's name can be put in the center of the football instead of the laces as well.

Fabric: Brown corduroy

Thread: Brown, White, Orange

You can change out the square patch fabric to anything you are trying to match. This mom wanted it to match brown corduroy pants, so we changed the background fabric to that,
