Vintage Université de Paris – Sorbonne crewneck sweatshirt from the 1970s.

The sweatshirt is made of a polyester blend with raglan sleeves. The front graphic features a flock print, a popular technique at the time and prized for its raised, velvety texture and durability, before being largely replaced by flat screen printing starting in the 1980s. The Sorbonne coat of arms and the university's circular lettering recall the classic style of academic insignia of the period.

Story Time

When the University of Paris broke apart and reinvented itself

After the shock of May 1968, when students, protesting overcrowded universities, rigid curricula, authoritarian governance, and broader social inequalities, occupied the Sorbonne and other Parisian campuses, sparking nationwide strikes and violent street clashes, the French state dismantled the old University of Paris and in 1970 divided it into thirteen autonomous institutions. Among these was the Université Paris-Sorbonne, officially established on January 1, 1971. Paris IV became the principal heir to the Sorbonne's humanistic tradition, specializing in literature, languages, philosophy, and history. What people continued to call simply "the Sorbonne" was no longer a single university, but a network of universities sharing a name and a building, born out of the political aftermath of '68.

The reforms, however, did not pacify the campuses. Throughout the decade, the universities linked to the Sorbonne became veritable laboratories of post-1968 activism. Students protested the new degree structures, seen as restrictive in terms of access, opposed reforms to military service, and in 1976 launched a three-month national strike, the longest in the modern history of French universities. In newer sites, such as Tolbiac, soon nicknamed "Tolbiac la Rouge," politics intermingled with culture: walls plastered with far-left posters, lectures interrupted by assemblies, and even punk concerts organized in lecture halls as acts of disruption and provocation.
