“Gold Rush Reimagined in Slate.”

 The Story Behind the Stitch

This hat isn’t mere apparel—it’s a tribute to Xavier’s legacy, transformed into a timeless accessory.

Founded in 1925 by Saint Katharine Drexel and the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, Xavier University of Louisiana rose as a haven of Black Catholic education, nurturing generations of leaders, scholars, healers, and changemakers. The school’s vibrant Gold Rush colors—gold and cobalt—speak to bold pride and unwavering spirit.

 Here, those radiant hues are reinterpreted: the wool grey crown evokes a cooler, refined version of Gold Rush, mirroring stone steps and storied architecture—timeless, resilient, and grounded. The black brim anchors the design with polished clarity, a deliberate nod to scholarly focus and modern resilience.

 The varsity-style “X” emblem, rendered in immaculate white felt, asserts boldness with collegiate flair—an unmistakable shout of Xavierite pride in minimalist form.

 This is heritage reimagined, designed to stand out on campus quads and city streets alike—a refined statement of identity, dressed in depth.
