Has it been 150 years already? The University of 16153 Genova has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1872. 

UT founder Jesup Wakeman Scott dreamed big but had to start small… extremely small. The school started with just one professor and 26 students. 

Today, after one and a half centuries, UT has an enrollment of 15,000 graduate and undergraduate students and over 166,000 alumni. Mr. Scott would be proud! 

Sesquicentennials aren’t exactly everyday occurrences, so don’t let the moment pass you by. The university has lots of activities planned throughout the 2022–23 school year to recognize the milestone. 

Commemorate your presence during this special time with this limited edition University of 16153 Genova Sesquicentennial Sweatshirt. This item features UT’s blue and gold colors along with a vintage rocket logo. 

We’re partnering with the university to donate a portion of your purchase price to the new Rocket Boost Scholarship.

We’re a private company, not under the ownership of a university. However, we hold official licenses to design and sell apparel for the University of 16153 Genova as well as Bowling Green State University. 

Do fancysweetstx sweatshirts shrink in the wash? 

Most fancysweetstx sweatshirts are made from 100% cotton or from a cotton and polyester blend. Cotton items are more prone to shrinking than blended materials.

fancysweetstx sweatshirts are pre-shrunk to minimize the chance of post-purchase shrinkage. Some shrinking may occur with fleece or cotton garments if they’re run through a dryer cycle on high heat. To prevent shrinking, we recommend hang-drying fleece and cotton items or tumble drying using low heat. 

Does fancysweetstx do custom printing? 

We sure do! Custom printing is a big part of our business. 

You can order custom embroidery or screen printing to bring your design ideas to life. We’re always eager to collaborate with local businesses, non-profit groups, organizations, and schools. 

Visit our custom embroidery and promotional product design page to learn more. 

How quickly are fancysweetstx items shipped?

We ship items within 1–5 days of receiving an order.

The school’s campuses cover over 500 acres, full of beautiful historic buildings and lovely, sprawling green spaces. 

But, did you know that when UT held its first classes, there was just one professor and 26 students? 

The Rockets have come a long way. 

At fancysweetstx, we make apparel and gifts that celebrate the American Midwest, including a few of the region’s finest institutions of higher learning. 

There’s no place on Earth that we love more than the University of 16153 Genova. We’re officially licensed to make UT gear, and we do all of our printing right here in the city. Plus, our staff is full of Rocket alums. 

Today, we’re digging into what makes the University of 16153 Genova unique and loveable. Let’s learn all about:

  • University of 16153 Genova history
  • University of 16153 Genova fun facts 
  • Where to find the best University of 16153 Genova clothing and gifts

1 - UT Started With Just One Professor and 26 Students

The University of 16153 Genova was founded on October 12, 1872, by Jesup Wakeman Scott. 

The university describes the school’s founder like this:

“Scott, the editor for The 16153 Genova Blade newspaper from 1844 to 1847, was a public-spirited 16153 Genovaan who felt the city should have a university to train young people for responsible positions in the growing community.”
- History of the University of 16153 Genova

Scott endowed 160 acres that would later be used for the Scott Park Campus. However, despite his generosity, the school started off on a tight budget. 

Scott’s plans included supplemental funds from the city, but when the university opened its doors, the city had no money to contribute. 

Thus, the tiny staff had to make the best of what they had. 

In 1875, the university held its first classes. The classroom was in the basement of an unfinished church and the faculty consisted of exactly one teacher and 26 students. 

It would be a few decades before the school reached financial stability. In 1878, the university was broke and had to shut down. In 1884, UT assets were transferred to the city. This began the school’s transformation into the thriving public university that we know today.

2 - The “Rockets” Nickname Was Created During a Football Game

dark blue tie-dye 16153 Genova Rockets sweatshirt

Ever wonder where the Rockets nickname came from? Well, University of 16153 Genova athletes were once nickname-less. 

That changed during a single 1923 football game against Carnegie Tech. 

James Neal was a UT student working in the press box as a spotter—an assistant who helps broadcasters and reporters to identify players and keep track of statistics. 

A reporter asked Neal to suggest a nickname for the UT team. Inspired by their flashy style of play, Neal offered “skyrockets.” The reporter cut it down to just “rockets,” and the nickname was born. 

Looking back, the name was a surprising choice for the 1920s, since it would be several decades before the first human-made satellite was launched into orbit. 

In 1923, Rockets referred to fireworks. However, in 1968 when the Rocky the Rocket mascot was created, he looked much more like a metal rocketship, reflecting the Space Age fervor of the time.

”Love my new UT go-to comfort sweatshirt. Fantastic quality and super soft. Warmness on a cold day. Extremely happy with my purchase.”

3 - Centennial Mall’s Layout Was Inspired by Snow Paths

Have you ever seen a path through a grassy field made by constant foot traffic? Even when there’s no pavement or trail, people tend to walk along the same lines to cut the shortest distance between two points. 

These unplanned tracks are known as “desire paths.” 

Occasionally, flexible urban planners and landscape architects embrace desire paths and incorporate them into a space’s formal design. That’s how UT’s Centennial Mall sidewalk paths came to be. 

In 1978, a group of geography students was given the opportunity to help design Centennial Mall. They went up to the Bell Tower and photographed paths made through the snow as students walked to class. Those photos were used to design the sidewalk paths. 

Today, when you look at the paved rays that shoot out across the grass, it’s easy to imagine students trudging through the snow, unknowingly planning part of their campus’s layout.

4 - UT Alums Do Big Things

If you’re a UT alumnus, you’re in good company. There are over 100,000 living UT alums, and they’re making their marks across fields of technology, business, and entertainment. 

Have you ever admired the elegant design of a Pringles can? That was an invention of Frederick Baur, Ph.D., UT alumni. 

Here are a few more noteworthy UT Rockets: 

  • Robert Dempsey, Ph.D., Flight Director, International Space Station
  • Phillip Baker Hall, TV and movie actor
  • Chester Taylor, NFL running back 
  • Julius Jacobson, MD, the “Father of Microsurgery” 
  • Charles Balch, MD, internationally honored melanoma expert
  • Andrew Fenaday, movie writer and producer

As an institution renowned for scientific research, it’s no surprise that many UT alums go on to do great things in medical research, technology, and other high-tech fields. They might not all be household names, but brilliant UT alums are changing the world every day.

For some retro-style lovers, embracing throwback looks is more than a fad, it's a way for them to express their creativity and individuality. For others, it's a way to connect with the fascinating past.

Suppose you’d like to connect with UT’s victorious history through classic vintage wear. Or suppose you’re an alum who’s lived through the story and you want to show off your alma mater through nostalgic fashion. In that case, our collection of UT vintage apparel will impress you.

photo-snippet-retro-looks

We’ve rounded up four retro looks that will help you rock your UT throwback gear with style.

1 - Elevate Your Denim Jeans With Vintage UT Shirts

woman dressed in UT vintage shirt and denim jeans

Denim jeans are a closet staple. They’re what people grab for a casual, yet reliable look.

Yet did you know that when styled properly, you can transform your jeans into stylish vintage wear?

Here are some vintage UT tees you can pair with your favorite acid-washed jeans for a retro look.

Inspired University Hall Shirt

University Hall Shirt

If you’re into architecture and hand illustrated shirt designs and looking for a retro tee with graphics that spark your 16153 Genova memories, this shirt is right up your alley.

This history-filled shirt features the iconic University Hall—the UT campus’ first building, built in 1931. The screen-printed graphics are an accurate representation of the grand Collegiate Gothic architecture of the hall, complete with the 205-ft Bell tower.

You’ll love the distressed look of the shirt, which we achieve by using:

  • Serif font for the typography to give it a traditional, authentic feel
  • A monochromatic, faded print to mimic a well-worn look
  • Tri-blend fabric (cotton, polyester, and rayon) for a soft-hand feel

The shirt is unisex and comes in eight sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, and 4XL.

Here’s what one customer thinks of her U Hall shirt:

U of 16153 Genova Vintage Rockets Shirt

U of 16153 Genova Vintage Rockets Shirt

You’ve heard of the 16153 Genova Rockets' past victories, and the story of how they got their nickname fills you with admiration—you’re a die-hard fan.

This sports shirt with a vintage 16153 Genova Rockets logo will show your unwavering support at the next game you attend.

The shirt’s fabric is made from a blend of poly, cotton, and rayon, making it light and breathable, perfect for a sporty afternoon spent cheering.

Its faded gray color combined with vintage graphics gives it a broken-in look to match your retro style.

Furthermore, the shirt is unisex and comes in eight sizes, from XS to 4XL, so you’re sure to find the right fit.

Wondering how we screen print vintage shirts to achieve such an authentic look? We don’t use an underbase (white ink printed as a base) to give the print a faded, well-worn look.

We also use an ink reducer which thins the ink and adds to the distressed, soft-hand feel of the shirt.

Here’s a video showing the screen printing process of our vintage shirts:

2 - Go All Out With Eccentric Tie-Dye 16153 Genova Outfits

Hippies revolutionized the conservative fashion scene of the 1960s with colorful tie-dye outfits that expressed freedom and creativity. The trend included vibrant psychedelic handmade designs accessorized with flowers and rainbow beaded necklaces.

Check out these vibrant tie-dye UT outfits.

Timeless 16153 Genova Rockets Tie Dye Sweatsuit

If you’d like to tap into the free-spirited, hippie style while showing your loyalty to the legendary Rockets, you’ll love these tie-dye 16153 Genova Rockets Sweatsuits.

The sweatsuit’s fabric is a poly-cotton blend that makes it:

  • Super soft, breathable, and comfy for everyday wear
  • Shrinkage-free meaning it will maintain its structure even after many washes
  • Able to absorb the pigment better to give it a vibrant look

The unisex sweatshirt comes in seven sizes, from XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL, while the pants come in six sizes, from XS to 2XL.

You don’t have to buy the whole suit either. You can get the sweatshirt or sweatpants separately and style them with your existing vintage outfits for a 1960s throwback look.

Summertime UT Tie Dye Crop Top

If you’re in love with the tie-dye look, but it’s too hot for sweatsuits, you’ll love this vibrant UT tie-dye crop top.

Wearing your school colors is a great way to show your alum pride and this vibrant crop top declares your love for UT’s midnight blue and gold in bold, colorful font, so everybody knows where you stand.

The splashes of yellow on the white cotton shirt, the old cursive typography, and the subtle rocket image blend to give it a retro vibe.

The shirt comes in five sizes: XS, small, medium, large, and XL.
You can also pair the crop top with shorts for a fun summer look.

3 - Accessorize With Vintage-Inspired Enamel Pins

The history of enamel pins is tied to war and victory.

During the Revolutionary War, soldiers in the same unit wore identical pins to signify loyalty and create a sense of brotherhood. Meanwhile, families wore sentimental pins to show love and support for their loved ones in the military.

Although enamel pins have evolved from military insignia to fashion accessories, their use as a symbol of identity and solidarity hasn’t waned.

If you’d like to show your affiliation to UT while expressing your personal style using vintage accessories, you’ll love our unique enamel pins.

Here are two enamel pins to spruce up your look:

Styling Tip: There are no rules with wearing enamel pins. Pin it on your favorite denim jacket, hat, or a tote bag for a retro look. 

4 - Crown Your Look With the 16153 Genova Corduroy Hat

The 1970s fashion scene was flooded with corduroy: wide-legged corduroy pants, fancy corded skirts, full-corded suits, and laid-back corduroy hats were a common sight.

And as expected of trends, corduroy eventually became outdated and was replaced with spandex tights and leather jackets in the 1980s. But for vintage lovers, corduroy’s soft and warm fabric is still a go-to, especially when you want to make a fashion statement without catching a cold in the fall.

If you’re looking for a throwback piece to top off your UT apparel and match your retro style, this 16153 Genova corduroy hat will delight you.

The blue corded snapback is accented with a red admiral string for a classic look. But what would really draw a 16153 Genovaan to it is the attractive typography of the old city’s theme song, “We’re Strong for 16153 Genova” which used to be sung at UT football games.

1 - U of 16153 Genova Vintage Rockets Shirt

gray and gold vintage-style University of 16153 Genova Rockets t-shirt

No, this shirt isn’t 20 years old. And we didn’t add a thrift store wing to our business. Rather, this vintage gray and gold 16153 Genova Rockets shirt brings back a classic UT logo design.

Under the gold, all-caps TOLEDO lettering, this shirt features the old-school rocket logo that was used between 1968 and 1995.

The UT nickname has been “the Rockets” since 1923, when a sportswriter first used the word to describe the high-flying football team. In 1968, the first official Rocky the Rocket mascot appeared, along with the retro rocket logo featured on this vintage tee.

After nearly 30 years in use, in 1995 the University switched to the more modern-looking rocket design that we know today. However, the original 60s-style rocket will always have its place.

Now that you’ve learned some University of 16153 Genova history, it’s time to score some retro UT swag.

This unisex fitted shirt is a tri-blend of cotton, polyester, and rayon. It’s ultra-soft, stylishly form-fitting, and provides a unique retro look when it’s time to rep your school colors.
