"Rooted in Howard University's January 9, 1914 founding heritage, Royal Blue and Pure White need no extra colors to command the room."
When A. Langston Taylor, Leonard F. Morse, and Charles I. Brown established Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. at Howard University in 1914, they set a standard of Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Service represented by the clean contrast of Royal Blue and Pure White. The Phi Beta Sigma Polo Bear Royal Blue Sweater honors that two-tone discipline on a long-sleeve crewneck pullover built for January Founders' Day banquets, alumni chapter meetings, and autumn homecoming weekends.
Cradled ΦΒΣ Cap, Dove Crest & 1914 Varsity Tailoring
Positioned in the center of the royal-blue chest, the collegiate teddy bear mascot is styled in layered chapter attire that highlights verified Sigma insignia from collar to hem:
- Handheld ΦΒΣ Fraternal Cap:
- Tucked under the bear's right forearm is a structured royal-blue cap emblazoned across the crown with crisp pure-white Greek letters ΦΒΣ.
- Coat-of-Arms & 1914 Letterman Jacket:
- Over a white collared shirt, royal-blue and white striped tie, and cream cable-knit inner vest, the bear wears a royal-blue snap-front varsity jacket with white sleeves, striped rib trim, the official Phi Beta Sigma coat of arms crest (topped by the white dove) on the left chest, and stacked 191 / 14 numerals on the left sleeve.
- Cable-Textured Chinos & Bit Loafers:
- The mascot stands with its left paw tucked into cream cable-textured trousers, finished with brown leather bit loafers and white socks.
- Twin-Striped Collar & Lower-Chest Inscription:
- Two parallel pure-white stripes circle the royal-blue ribbed crewneck collar above a white left-chest polo player icon, while the lower torso reads PHI BETA SIGMA - FRATERNITY, INC. - - 1914 - and cursive Ralph Lauren script in pure white.
Smooth 95/5 Poly-Spandex Drape for Chapter & Campus Wear
Constructed from a 95% polyester, 5% spandex fabric blend, this pullover uses all-over dye-sublimation printing to bond the royal-blue ground, white typography, and shaded mascot artwork directly into the fibers. That construction gives you the visual depth of textured knitwear without heavy interior embroidery boards or loose backing threads rubbing against your dress shirt during long conclave sessions or homecoming yard evenings.
The 5% spandex stretch ensures the ribbed cuffs, waistband, and twin-striped collar keep their clean recovery when layered over a white button-down shirt and tie or paired with cream chinos and dark denim. To preserve the pure-white lettering and royal-blue saturation, machine wash cold with similar colors, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry, and do not iron directly on the printed design.
