The Best HBCU Apparel For Back To School 2022: FAMU, Morehouse, Howard, Spelman and More

If you attended an HBCU, visited one, or have ever been to a Black college homecoming, you know it’s an experience that cannot be put into words. And with the arrival of back-to-school season, we figured there’s no better time to stock up on the best HBCU apparel to show support and pride for some of the greatest academic institutions in the country.

When you set foot on an HBCU campus, the air of pride, love, community, and happiness can immediately be felt through and through. From the roaring step shows to hanging on “the yard” and swag surfing with your classmates and friends, being amidst an HBCU celebration is hands-down one of the best feelings in the world. That said, we wouldn’t want you to be without the best HBCU apparel to boast your favorite school’s pride.

Many companies and philanthropists have recently begun sharing support for HBCUs, which has, in turn, prompted brands to start creating apparel, gear, and novelties sporting many of the schools’ athletic teams, mascots, insignias, and names. Last year, Nike dropped its Yardrunners collection dedicated to HBCUs and teams. In contrast, many other retailers such as Fanatics, Belk, HillFlint and Amazon have dedicated inventory to the same, providing more HBCU clothing to choose from than ever before.

If you’re looking for the best places to buy college apparel, such as the best HBCU sweatshirts, best HBCU hoodies, or best HBCU hats to help you get into the homecoming or back-to-school groove, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re a current student, alumni, family, friend, fan or supporter of any of these educational powerhouses, there’s a piece of HBCU apparel that works for you.
