Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this design different from standard printed merch?
Unlike screen printing that cracks over time, our chainstitch-inspired embroidery uses thick, textured thread to create a 3D effect similar to vintage varsity jackets. It is built to last as a lifetime keepsake.
Can I personalize this sweatshirt?
Yes! For an additional $5, we can embroider a name, graduation year, or short quote on the sleeve. This is a popular option for alumni and students wanting a custom touch.
How does the Sport Grey sweatshirt fit?
We use a premium, heavy-blend athletic sweatshirt that fits true to size. If you prefer an oversized, “vintage” look common in streetwear, we recommend sizing up one level.
What does the 2026 Indianapolis design reference?
This design commemorates the Illinois Basketball team’s journey to the 2026 Final Four held in Indianapolis, capturing the energy of the tournament with a timeless, retro aesthetic.
