HBCUs were founded to create pathways to higher education for Black students when many colleges were closed to them, and they’ve remained engines of scholarship, leadership, and cultural influence ever since. From classrooms and marching bands to labs and campuses that shaped generations, HBCUs continue to set the standard for excellence and community impact.

HBCU Built is a celebration of that legacy and the people who carry it forward, honoring the pride, resilience, and tradition that make HBCUs a cornerstone of Black education in America.

Keep your apparel looking great for ages:

• Printed apparel can be machine-washed cold, inside-out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and like colors.
• Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary. You shouldn't use any fabric softeners or dry-clean the items.
• Printed apparel can be tumble-dried on a low cycle, but hang-dry works best.
• When it comes to ironing, use cool iron inside-out. Don't iron the print.

We use the latest printing technology to offer a wide variety of products and color options. We use high-quality inks that won't fade for a long time if taken care of properly.

Keep in mind that garment blank manufacturer's care instructions (tags) don't take into consideration the printing process. So we suggest following the care instructions on this page to learn how to take care of your printed garments properly.

Follow these instructions carefully to avoid fading and cracking of the print, and shrinking of the garment that can occur if you wash or dry it on a high setting. Pro Tip: For ANY garment, it is especially wearing to roughly tumble dry them with heavier items (blankets/towels/jeans/etc).
