It looks nice, I honestly wish it was a black designer’s brand instead.

2 mill I bet this project gets them like 10 mil when it's doneYeah, I double checked, they're not, but Ralph Lauren did pledge $2 million to HBCUs back in December of 2021, so.
And for those complaining about the "style" of clothin
so it's just pure symbolism no equity
these schools really let them use their logos and licenses for free?

And it's shyt like this that makes that school look even worse if not useless. How can you make that deal, think it's a good idea or even good business, and still claim your degrees are not worth less than the paper it's printed on?

yeah I didn't want to go to hard but this devalues the brand insanely
you think the ivy leagues are letting their brands being used for nothing? pro tip they're not
they missed a trick not doing sweaters and tee's with the Polo Bear wearing the HBCU's sweaters
a Ralph Lauren look book looks like a Ralph Lauren look book, Ralph Lauren made clothes that look like Ralph Lauren clothes. to be expected.
actually, shyt this would went crazy in 2010 when mens style blogs were way more leaning towards Ivy and suits etc
the Street Etiquette guys, Theophilus London, Jesse Boykins would've styled it crazy and Vado would've did the rugbys and the Varsity's.
RIP to the Rugby store man
I wanted that jacket

The discomfort comes out when other Black people are seen dress up and the immediate responses are jokes, cutting down that person, or "Why are you dressed up?!" condescending responses. It would be nice to stop doing that to each other.

I get both your points, and it’s true maybe they could have negotiated more, but they only have so much leverage at the table with companies like this, truth is we don’t know what they did or didn’t get because we don’t have the contract, but we know they got something, probably not near what it’s worth but that’s life, they did however get pub and that’s priceless, this thread is 15 pages, and it’s probably poppin on other forums, along with being all over the gram and Twitter, which again is big.
My bigger thought is, make it so you can get sweaters in your schools colors and insignia etc, but once again all the opportunities are here just for main hbcu’s, spell/mo, Howard, FAMU, and sometimes Hampton. They get all the money, grants, internships, free marketing, first dibbs on some job opportunities, while other hbcu’s get the scraps of scraps if at all
They don't even realize it but dropping the bag and I'm sure it's going to be full priced as well too for the students

If your goal is to make money and get the exposure you are going to go with the bigger brand.
