The cotton fleece body has the soft, compact feel characteristic of sportswear produced in the 1960s.

Story Time

From Bricks to Research Labs

NC State began as a land-grant institution built for practical education. In 1887, North Carolina established the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in Raleigh, which opened in 1889. Early campus life was structured and practical: military training punctuated the daily routine, and the curriculum focused on agriculture and mechanics (early forms of engineering). The university's identity was also still being formed: initially, students wore pink and blue, before voting to adopt red and white, which became the Wolfpack's permanent colors.

The 1950s and 1960s rapidly transformed NC State. Enrollment increased after World War II (with veteran communities living in trailers on campus), research facilities modernized, and the university began the process of integration: first with black students in graduate programs in 1953, then with undergraduate students in 1956. The 1960s also brought activism and identity debates: students pushed Raleigh's businesses toward integration, hosted prominent speakers such as JFK and Martin Luther King Jr., abolished mandatory ROTC, and fought to prevent "NC State" from being absorbed into a UNC-Raleigh naming scheme, ultimately achieving the name North Carolina State University at Raleigh in 1965.

From the 1970s onward, NC State consolidated its position as a research hub closely tied to the Research Triangle economy. The Centennial Campus ushered in a new "university + industry" model, and the innovation developed at NC State helped spawn important impact stories, such as the origins of SAS software, which arose from statistical work connected to the campus.
