This year’s highly anticipated Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” is deeply rooted in the legacy of HBCUs, where fashion has long been a vehicle for self-definition, resistance, and cultural pride. 

Our institutions have cultivated a distinct sartorial language shaped by Black dandyism—refined, intentional, and boldly expressive. Campus style drew from the richness of the diaspora, merging tradition, regional influences, and innovation into a visual narrative that reimagined the very possibilities of Black higher education. 

Through fashion, HBCUs have tailored identity into art—shaping not only personal expression but a broader cultural aesthetic that continues to resonate globally. Our legacy isn’t just reflected in fashion; it is woven into the very fabric of Black style itself.

A message from @skeneja : On May 10th, I will be graduating from thee ILLUSTRIOUS Xavier University of Louisiana in THREE years, but I’ll be returning! 

In my graduate application I wrote, “When others spoke about their dream universities, it was always “Spelman” or “FAMU,” never Xavier University of Louisiana. But I knew where I was going. I envisioned myself on 1 Drexel Drive, and to have now lived that exact dream is surreal. I could have fallen victim to the same bad habits of my environment the adults around me were engaging in, but coming to Xavier saved me. Xavier University of Louisiana represents a vision fulfilled, a community embraced, and a promising future. I am surrounded by individuals who look like me and share my cultural heritage, which creates an environment of understanding and mutual respect. This sense of belonging has been pivotal to my personal and academic development. As I look forward to earning my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I carry the lessons, values,and experiences Xavier has imparted during my undergraduate studies. For these reasons, I had no doubts about applying for graduate school admittance at Xavier”. 

To answer my own question, yes, it was hard. Very hard, but I came, I conquered, and most importantly, I thrived! 

This is for my younger self, my siblings, and my ancestors who guided me along the way.

Grambling State University’s Marching Band holds the record for the most Super Bowl halftime show appearances by a college band, with six performances. Their first Super Bowl performance was in 1967 and years later, Sports Illustrated honored it as one of the “Top 10 Super Bowl Halftime Shows” of all time. Legacy Lives Forever 💫 @grambling1901

LEGACY | HISTORY | PRIDE HBCU Apparel

More info

We are committed to building upon the LEGACY™ of our schools while sharing the HISTORY of our ancestors in pursuit of becoming the PRIDE of our culture

Historically Black Colleges and Universities have played and continue to play a critical role in making and breaking American history. They are continuing to create a legacy for African Americans and students of all backgrounds and races to have and receive the quality education every American deserves. HBCU apparel is our homage, our thanks, and our celebration to our schools as well as our ancestors. We give tribute to the immense cultural diversity, and massive impact HBCUs Alumni have on this country through the innovative melding of the legacy, the history, and the pride capture in our HBCU clothing line.

Our legacy began in New York in the late 1960s from a fresh immigrant with deep roots from Manzanilla in Trinidad and Tobago and the American dream. What started as an ordinary shoe store became a revolutionary sneaker store that accomplished the first Black Owned Nike account and blazed a trail for representation in footwear and fashion. That became the blueprint for the HBCU apparel's legacy.

Black history should be a subject of rejoicing and pride. HBCU apparel encapsulates the richness of old-school streetwear, Alumni dignity, and the continuing evolution of history. HBCU clothing is constantly evolving, as apparel has always been part of our culture. The apparel we make throws it back to our ancestors' legacy and the upcoming history we are all about to create for ourselves and our future generations.

HBCU clothing isn't just a statement. It's a testament, a vibrant ideal, and an expression of respect as well as hope. So, find a crew, a hoodie, a jacket, shirts and dresses, sweatpants, and more to represent the three pillars of the culture while giving back to the colleges that shaped you. LHP is honored to work in partnership with organizations like the Atlanta HBCU Alliance to form the Give Back Initiative to further bolster attendance to HBCUs through proceeds generated by every sale every day of the year. When you rep your alma mater with our newest drops, a portion of the proceeds benefits colleges or universities through our licensing agreements.

The cultural ideas of generations continue to shape the visionary, creative, ground-breaking HBCU apparel that we are pleased to offer to our customers-our family.
