Okay, so I’ve been meaning to get a Purdue sweatshirt for a while now. I’m a big fan of the Boilermakers, and I just needed something to show off my team spirit. So, I started my quest to find the perfect one.
First, I hit up the usual spots like the store. They had a decent selection, but nothing that really screamed “me.” I saw some crewnecks, some hoodies, some zip-ups, all with the classic Purdue logo. They were okay, but I was looking for something a little more unique, you know?
Then, I checked out some online stores. Man, there are a ton of options out there! I browsed through pages and pages of Purdue sweatshirts. I saw some from Rally House, with a bunch of officially licensed stuff. Champion had a few different styles too, which caught my eye.

I started looking at prices, and they were all over the place. Some were around $30, others were closer to $50. I even saw one for over $40, which seemed a bit much. I mean, it’s just a sweatshirt, right? I found a few I liked on an online marketplace, but the shipping costs were pretty high, which was a bummer.
I was starting to get a little discouraged. I just wanted a cool Purdue sweatshirt without having to spend a fortune or wade through a million different options.
Finally, I decided to check out a smaller online shop that specializes in college apparel. And guess what? I found it! A simple, solid grey crewneck with the Purdue Boilermakers logo. It was cotton-polyester, so it’s super comfy, and it was only $39.99. Plus, they had free shipping! Score!
I ordered it right away, and it arrived a few days later. I’ve been wearing it everywhere since. It’s perfect for game days, or just lounging around the house.
