If you are an HBCU alum or supporter, you know it is often a struggle to find unique HBCU clothing for your favorite HBCU in local stores. When you do find HBCU clothing — the selection is often limited or generic. Typically, the best opportunity to stock up on gear is at the campus bookstore, homecoming street vendors, or attending college sporting events like HBCU classics. These selections are not always the most convenient option. I have several family and friends that attended HBCUs who face these same struggles. So I did some research and found a few online spots to purchase HBCU apparel for myself, and help you find unique HBCU gifts for you and yours.
