Royal Purple, Old Gold & Crossover V-Neck Tailoring
Since three undergraduate students and their faculty adviser founded Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. inside Science Hall at Howard University on November 17, 1911, Royal Purple and Old Gold have stood for Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift. The Omega Psi Phi Ralph Lauren Purple V-Neck Sweater brings those cardinal colors to a sporty crossover V-neck silhouette framed by gold shoulder piping, striped sleeve bands, and a centerpiece mascot bear.

The Sunglasses Bear & ΩΨΦ Button Cardigan
Unlike standard round-neck graphics, the center mascot bear matches the V-neck architecture of the sweater itself. Sporting dark tortoiseshell-style sunglasses over a white collared shirt and purple-and-gold striped tie, the bear wears a royal-purple button-front cardigan trimmed in old gold with bold ΩΨΦ Greek letters across its left chest. With hands tucked into pleated khaki trousers and purple-and-white low-top sneakers on its feet, the mascot stands directly above crisp white POLO BEAR by RALPH LAUREN block type and gold cursive Ralph Lauren script.
Coat of Arms Shield, Split 19/11 Sleeves & Lower-Left Crest Tag
Surrounding the center bear, four additional fraternity markers anchor the torso and sleeves:
- Upper-Left Coat of Arms Shield: Positioned over the heart, the official Omega Psi Phi crest displays the knight's helmet, crossed swords, green laurel wreath, and gold-bordered purple shield bearing ΩΨΦ and the ancient lamp.
- Split 19 and 11 Sleeve Numerals: Cream numerals outlined in old gold place 19 on the upper right sleeve and 11 on the upper left sleeve, sitting directly above twin cream and old-gold horizontal arm stripes.
- Gold-Piped Shoulder & Side Seams: Continuous old-gold and cream piping traces the drop-shoulder seams and angled lower-torso panels to frame the center artwork.
- Lower-Left Hem Badge: A gold-bordered purple rectangular patch above the left waistband reads OMEGA PSI PHI / FRATERNITY, INC. / EST. 1911 above a gold polo player silhouette.

95% Polyester, 5% Spandex Knit & Care Guide
Tailored from a 95% polyester, 5% spandex blend, this pullover uses all-over dye-sublimation printing to lock the deep royal purple, metallic-gold piping, and intricate shield details directly into the fabric. Because there are no thick, rigid embroidery backings inside the chest or sleeves, the sweater stays flexible, breathable, and comfortable through November 17 Founders' Day banquets, autumn homecoming tailgates, and chapter lounge evenings.
The crossover rib-knit V-neck collar, ribbed cuffs, and ribbed waistband retain their snap wash after wash. Machine wash cold with similar dark colors, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry, and avoid ironing directly on the printed graphics.
