HBCU Varsity Signature Series - Xavier University of Louisiana
“Gold Rush Reimagined in Shadow and Structure.”
The Story Behind the Stitch
History meets contemporary style in this elevated tribute to Xavier University of Louisiana, where legacy pulses through every design element. Nicknamed The Gold Rush, Xavier’s signature hues—vibrant gold and cobalt—are gracefully translated here into a refined charcoal and sleek black palette.
- Charcoal Grey Crown: Echoes Xavier’s signature gold with a muted strength—like city resilience wrapped in shadow. It’s quiet dignity that speaks volumes.
- Black Visor: Represents focused determination and modern elegance—hallmarks of a Xavierite’s bold path.
- Varsity-Inspired “X” Emblem: Rendered in crisp white, it stands out with collegiate flair and clean precision—declaring pride while balancing poise.
This design flips tradition on its head, blending it with tonal sophistication to create a hat that’s equally perfect for game-day energy or city strolls. It’s a nod to history, reimagined for the present.
