There’s something about spring in Cambridge: the air softens, the sun lingers, the tourists are out, and suddenly it feels like the perfect time for a wardrobe refresh. The Harvard Crimson Merch Store just dropped our Spring Collection (along with some other longtime favorites), and it’s exactly what you didn’t know you needed: classic Crimson colors, easygoing fits, and enough style to wear from lecture halls to late nights at Joe's. Think cozy hoodies, sharp crewnecks, and hats that say “I go here” without, you know, saying it. It’s Harvard pride, but make it fashion. Find your new favorite here.
Some pieces earn a permanent spot in your daily rotation — this is one of them. With a soft, lived-in denim finish and classic embroidery, The Harvard Crimson washed hat strikes the balance between relaxed and refined. Available in a deep Crimson or a versatile slate blue, it’s an effortless way to add a hint of heritage to your look without feeling overdone. Whether you're heading to a morning lecture, a weekend coffee run, or an afternoon along the Charles, this is the kind of staple that works anywhere spring takes you.

THE COLORBLOCK HOODIE
Bright & Uncomplicated
Some days call for something a little bolder. The Colorblock Hoodie brings a fresh energy to classic Crimson spirit, with each letter printed in a different vibrant shade. It's a quiet nod to tradition without feeling stuck in it: playful, confident, and easy to wear. The soft neutral base keeps it grounded, while the colorful lettering brings a sense of optimism that fits perfectly with the season.
​
Cut from a cozy midweight fabric, this hoodie is perfect for layering under a jacket or throwing on after a late-night study session. The relaxed fit makes it a true everyday essential, but the color story gives it a thoughtful, deliberate edge. Not everything needs to be serious, and this hoodie reminds you why that's a good thing. Style it with lived-in jeans, clean sneakers, and perhaps a denim hat (wink, wink).
THE EMBROIDERED 14P BUILDING
With its finely embroidered illustration of The Harvard
Crimson’s historic headquarters, 14 Plympton St, the Heritage
Crewneck offers a quiet tribute to tradition. Set against a
soft, neutral backdrop, the design is subtle yet thoughtful,
a piece that feels considered rather than overstated.
The midweight fabric and structured fit make it an
easy staple for cooler days, whether layered under a
jacket or worn on its own.
​
Simple, well-made, and built to last... this is
classic style without the noise.

THE BLACK 14P HOODIE
Minimal & Intentional
With its tonal black-on-black embroidery, the 14P Hoodie is all about restraint and detail. The midweight fabric offers structure without stiffness, making it easy to wear year-round. Clean, understated, and built for everyday movement — a quiet essential with a sharp point of view. Check it out here.
LIVE A STORY
HOODIE
Sharp & Unforgettable
At first glance, the Legacy Hoodie keeps it minimal with a crimson-stitched Roman numeral marking 1873, The Harvard Crimson’s founding year. Turn it around, and a bold reminder is waiting: “Live a story that's worth the ink.” Made from a structured midweight cotton blend, it’s a piece designed for those who believe in making their mark — and doing it well.
14P DISTRESSED HAT
The 14P Hat takes a timeless silhouette and gives it edge, with subtle distressing, tonal black embroidery, and a lived-in feel from day one. It’s minimal but unmistakable, built for everyday wear without ever looking too polished. Throw it on, break it in even further, and let it tell your story over time.
Worn, Not Weathered
