 HISTORY AND ORIGIN

 
 



Soft, long-sleeved pullover garments usually made of a cotton or cotton/polyester blend knit fabric
that is soft and fleecy on the inside, sweatshirts have long been worn by athletes while warming up,
watching from the sidelines, or cooling off after exercising.

They began to be worn by nonathletes as well during the 1960s and were actually adopted by
designers as part of their collections in the 1980s.
By the 2000s sweatshirts were one of the most common parts of a typical person's everyday wardrobe
and came in many different fabrics and styles.

During the 1930s Abe and Bill Feinbloom, who owned the Knickerbocker Knitting Company,
came up with a technique for applying letters to the knitted sweatshirts.
They also designed a sideline sweatshirt, with a hood and a zipper, intended for football players to wear
while sitting out of the game. Their company eventually became Champion, one of the best-known
American manufacturers of athletic wear.

The hooded sweatshirt is a utilitarian garment that originated in the 1930s for workers in cold
New York warehouses.
Hoodies were later adopted by hip hop culture as a symbol of what one reporter termed "cool
anonymity and vague menace.
When the garment was depicted in FBI composite drawings of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski,
the hoodie became linked to "seedy threatening criminality,"
Thereby further asserting its non-mainstream symbolism.
