Bling Hoodie

Bling hoodie is the latest addition to our Spirit Shops! It is made custom for your team with the bling logo shown.

There was a time, or maybe a series of times, when the culture seemed hyper-fixated on the racial signifiers that clothing carries. High-riding underwear, low-riding jeans, athleisure, Sperry’s—any item of clothing could be a symbol of the person wearing it. But perhaps no article of clothing is more charged or fraught than the hoodie.

Whether worn by Trayvon Martin or protesters during the Black Lives Matter movement, the hoodie has become associated with violence and criminality. This association, in turn, has been weaponized and canonized. In a recent essay, Leah Mirakhor wrote that the hoodie has been “reclaimed, commodified, and politicized in a way that will ensure its presence for a long time to come.”

This crop hoodie features a rhinestone BL logo on the front of the sweatshirt. The hoodie has a relaxed silhouette with ribbed cuffs and hem along with a kangaroo pouch pocket. Pair with jeans and sneakers for a streetwear vibe.

When shopping for a hoodie, consider fabric type and weight, manufacturing process, and the fiber content. The higher the cotton percentage, the softer and more comfortable the fabric will be. Cotton also absorbs perspiration and is moisture-wicking, while polyester is durable and withstands multiple washing machine cycles. Cotton-polyester blends are a great choice for hoodies because they provide the best of both worlds–cotton comfort and polyester durability.
