Harvard University Crest Logo Est 1636 Shirt

It is the gold standard of academia, a name that resonates around the world: Harvard. This shirt pays tribute to nearly four centuries of intellectual excellence. The design features the legendary university crest—the three open books bearing the motto Veritas (Truth)—framed by the founding date of 1636. It is a symbol that represents not just a school, but a legacy of leadership, innovation, and history.
Designed for the proud alum, the aspiring student, or the admirer of collegiate tradition, this tee captures the classic “Cambridge” aesthetic. The deep crimson accents and traditional typography evoke images of autumn in Harvard Yard, rowing on the Charles River, and the hallowed halls of Widener Library. It strips away the modern noise to focus on the timeless values of education and truth. Whether you are hitting the books, attending a reunion, or just aiming for a smart, preppy look on the weekend, this shirt fits the bill. Built on durable, midweight cotton, it is tough enough to survive a thesis defense or a touch football game. Wear it to display your connection to the oldest and most renowned university in America.

3. Is this a vintage-style print? The design often incorporates a distressed or weathered texture to give it a “heritage” look, as if you bought it from the Coop decades ago. Check the product image for the specific finish.
