THE HISTORY

Historic U is simply short for Historic Universities.

At Historic U, we are more than just a clothing brand. We are a celebration of heritage, culture, and distinction around HBCUs. We believe that HBCUs have played a vital role in shaping the history and culture of this country and it's important to recognize and celebrate that. That's why we chose the name Historic U - because historically it's YOU (U)/US. We believe that attending an HBCU is more than just an educational experience, it's a part of who we are, and we want to share that with the world.
