Parke Just Launched College Merch for the First Time Ever — Here Are the 9 Lucky Schools in the Drop
To be a college student is to know that a comfy sweatshirt is almost as much of a dorm room essential as a laptop or twin XL sheets. And in the past few years, Parke has become a coveted supplier of cozy sweatshirts. Founded in 2022 by Chelsea Goles (Parke is her middle name), Parke is known for its cotton mock turtleneck sweatshirts with the brand name emblazoned across the front.
Parke captured a Gen Z audience on TikTok (where it has 281,000 followers, plus another 655,000 on Instagram at the time of writing) and now it’s a staple among college students. Parke features fun collections of sweatshirts with designs to celebrate holidays, birthdays, different cities, and everything in between. And now, for the students who attend (or are just big fans of) nine lucky universities, Parke has created a line of school merch, in collaboration with the apparel brand ‘47.
What Is the Parke x ’47 Collab?
Parke is collaborating with ‘47, an apparel company that collabs with almost every major sports league and over 900 universities, to drop a collegiate apparel launch. The collection, which is available on the Parke and ‘47 websites starting August 25 at 10 a.m. ET, features apparel for these nine schools:
- Indiana University
- University of Georgia
- University of Michigan
- University of Alabama
- Syracuse University
- University of Florida
- University of Mississippi
- University of North Carolina
- University of Texas
The collection includes classic Parke varsity mockneck sweatshirts ($125-$135), graphic mockneck sweatshirts ($140), boxer sweatpants and sweatshorts ($85-$100), claw clips ($17), and baseball caps ($42-$45).
From their classic mocknecks, to sweatshirts, and to even the iconic ‘47 hats, this collab is definitely one that will get people talking. For each school, the varsity-style sweatshirts feature the iconic “PARKE” logo along with the university’s colors and name, while the graphic versions sport school colors and logos.
Whether you go for a hat, sweatshirt, or spring for a full outfit, this Parke x ‘47 collection filled with stylish options to claim your school spirit. Whatever you choose, I’d recommend acting fast — Parke collections are known for selling out quickly, and I highly doubt this one will be any different!
