On March 15, it was announced that Polo Ralph Lauren, Morehouse and Spelman colleges teamed up to release a capsule collection of clothing for the two HBCUs.
Ralph Lauren collaborated with a team of Black creators to make this vision come to life, and the collection is a throwback to 1950s collegiate style.

The collection includes three-piece suits, boatneck sweaters with an “M” for Morehouse, or a double-breasted linen blazer with a Spelman crest. The sportswear pieces feature a “67” on the back in honor of Morehouse’s founding in 1867 and Ralph Lauren’s in 1967.
