Pittsburgh 1758 Varsity Felt Crewneck

The Pittsburgh 1758 Varsity Felt Crewneck — a YinzMart original built around the year the city got its name. A heavyweight Gildan 18000 Black crewneck with a stacked varsity-block design across the chest: PITTSBURGH straight across the top, 1758 below — both done in gold laser-cut felt and finished with a gold zig-zag stitch around every letter and number. Old-school college-letterman energy, Pittsburgh-flavored, stitched in-house in Pittsburgh.

Why yinzers love this Pittsburgh 1758 Crewneck

1758 is the year the British took Fort Duquesne, renamed it Fort Pitt, and gave the place its name — and a city was born at the confluence of the three rivers. Wear that history loud. The varsity layout reads like a college sweatshirt from a school that doesn’t exist (yet), and the Pittsburgh-gold lettering on black makes it gameday-friendly any Sunday from September through January. Wear it to a tour at the Heinz History Center, to a game on the North Shore, to a tailgate, or just to the grocery store on a cold Saturday morning.
