The hoodie reimagines the classic collegiate sweatshirt. Unlike standard flat-cotton hoodies, this garment is crafted from a heavyweight thermal waffle knit fabric, providing a tactile, premium feel that enhances insulation.
The design features a polished quarter-zip neckline with a durable metal zipper, allowing for adjustable airflow and easy layering. The deep Navy Blue colorway serves as the perfect backdrop for the high-quality white, which includes “EST. 1896” on the chest—a nod to the university’s rich athletic history—and the bold “NEVADA” block lettering across the center. Finished with white drawstrings and a spacious kangaroo pocket, this hoodie balances athletic function with contemporary fashion.

The mix of the retro “EST. 1896” typography with the oversized, relaxed fit struck a chord with fans craving nostalgia, making it the must-have item for the winter season.
