Polo Ralph Lauren x Omega Psi Phi Purple Sweatshirt

Since the evening of November 17, 1911, when founders Edgar Amos Love, Oscar James Cooper, Frank Coleman, and Dr. Ernest Everett Just established Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. inside Science Hall at Howard University, royal purple and old gold have stood as emblems of friendship and brotherhood. The Polo Ralph Lauren x Omega Psi Phi Purple Sweatshirt brings those cardinal colors into a sharp collegiate portrait. Centered against a deep royal purple ground, a preppy teddy bear wears a varsity letterman jacket detailed with the fraternity heraldic shield on the left chest and stacked 1911 numerals on the left sleeve.

1911 Howard University Heritage in Royal Purple and Old Gold

Every element of the bear’s wardrobe reflects classic campus regalia: a purple-and-gold diagonal striped necktie tucked beneath the varsity jacket, cuffed khaki chinos, brown gold-bit loafers, and a royal purple cap bearing old gold Greek letters ΩΨΦ held securely under the right arm. An old gold polo rider silhouette on the upper left chest echoes the double gold stripes along the crewneck collar, while bold block lettering below anchors the 1911 founding year.

Breathable Stretch Construction for Yard Shows and Alumni Weekends

Because the knit-look texture and intricate shield details are bonded directly into the fibers through all-over dye-sublimation, the front graphic never feels heavy or stiff across the torso. The 95% polyester and 5% spandex fabric blend moves comfortably with the shoulders and retains its shape at the ribbed cuffs and hem through brisk autumn tailgates and winter chapter meetings. Brothers building a year-round fraternity wardrobe can also add the Omega Psi Phi Hawaiian shirt for warm-weather probate gatherings and summer cookouts.
