2026 Southern Miss EST 1912 Half Quarter Zip Waffle Hoodie – Tradition Meets Trend
The hoodie redefines collegiate apparel by merging the rugged utility of thermal workwear with the polished aesthetic of modern streetwear. Drenched in the university’s signature deep green, this hoodie stands out with its intricate texture and bold, high-contrast branding.
The centerpiece of the design is the “Southern Miss” block lettering across the chest, rendered in a classic collegiate font with gold accents that pop against the textured fabric. Flanked by the fierce Golden Eagle mascot on the chest and sleeve, and grounded by the “EST 1912” callout, every inch of this garment celebrates the university’s century-long legacy. The distinct waffle weave isn’t just for looks; it creates small air pockets that trap body heat, keeping you insulated during late-season football games while remaining breathable enough for indoor wear.

Why The Design Went Viral?
This hoodie blew up on social media because it perfectly hit the “Grandpa Core” and “Retro Collegiate” trends simultaneously. Influencers loved the textured waffle fabric which photographs exceptionally well, looking far more expensive than standard smooth fleece. The “EST 1912” detail added a layer of authentic heritage that resonated with fans wanting gear that felt timeless rather than temporary.
