Howard University Sport Hoodie
Hoodies
The verdict
Buy it for the Howard branding you want, not for hoodie value — $165 is steep even by Essentials' own premium standard.
Fit
Essentials hoodies typically run boxy and oversized, so most shoppers should stick to their usual size or size down for a slimmer look.
Quality
Expect the heavyweight, brushed-fleece construction Essentials is known for, though licensed team collabs aren't always where the brand puts its best fabric.
Is the price fair?
At $165 this sits at the top of the hoodie category, and a meaningful part of that price is the Essentials name and Howard license rather than added material value.
Best for
Howard alumni and Essentials collectors who want a licensed piece over a plain crewneck.
Care
Wash cold and tumble dry low, or air dry, to protect the graphic print and fleece loft.
