Description
This gray sweatshirt honors the legacy of Straight University, a historically black college founded in 1869 in New Orleans. Established by the American Missionary Association during Reconstruction, the university was vital in educating newly emancipated African Americans and fostering civil rights. It offered liberal arts, law, and theology programs before merging with New Orleans University in 1934 to form Dillard University.
The design features a retro chenille patch of the university’s mascot, the Crimson Wave. The mascot stands confidently over a bold letter “S,” with "Straight University" embroidered below in a classic collegiate font. Made with 80% ring-spun cotton and 20% polyester for added softness, this sweatshirt is designed for maximum comfort. Perfect for those who want to showcase HBCU pride while enjoying a relaxed fit. This piece seamlessly combines history, style, and coziness.
