Polo Ralph Lauren Kappa Alpha Psi Christmas Ugly Sweater

Since ten undergraduate visionaries led by Elder Watson Diggs, Byron Kenneth Armstrong, and John Milton Lee gathered at Indiana University in Bloomington on January 5, 1911, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. has pursued its founding motto: Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor. The Polo Ralph Lauren Kappa Alpha Psi Christmas Ugly Sweater honors that Crimson and Cream heritage on a warm cream long-sleeve crewneck pullover built for December holiday parties, January 5 Founders’ Day celebrations, and alumni mixers.

Crimson and Cream Collegiate Prep Centered on the Nupe Bear

Framed at the top by a cream ribbed round crew neckline accented with two parallel crimson-red varsity stripes and a crimson-red Polo horse-and-rider silhouette on the upper left chest, the front composition centers on a full-figure brown Teddy Bear mascot. Dressed in classic collegiate prep attire, the bear wears a white collared dress shirt and crimson-red patterned tie layered beneath a crimson-red V-neck varsity pullover sweater. The bear’s sweater carries cream-and-crimson striped V-neck trim, double cream horizontal sleeve stripes, a miniature Kappa Alpha Psi coat of arms shield on the left chest, and bold cream ΚΑΨ Greek letters across the front.

Tailored Mascot Details and Sublimated Polyester-Spandex Comfort

Small sartorial touches complete the mascot’s relaxed stance: the bear stands with ankles crossed in polished brown leather loafers and hands tucked into pleated khaki-tan cuffed trousers, wearing a brown-and-gold wristwatch with a red ribbon tie on the left wrist and a white beaded bracelet on the right wrist. Directly beneath the loafers, gold-outlined crimson block letters spell out KAPPA ALPHA PSI above black serif FRATERNITY, INC. text flanked by crimson rules, the crimson founding year – 1911 –, and a crimson cursive Ralph Lauren signature script.

Woven from a 95% polyester and 5% spandex blend that offers gentle stretch and adaptive body temperature response across autumn and winter wear, this standard unisex crewneck pullover layers comfortably over a collared dress shirt or tee from XS through 5XL. Because the graphic is applied via all-over dye-sublimation printing, the crimson-and-gold lettering, coat of arms shield, and bear illustration bond directly into the fabric fibers for a fade-proof, peel-resistant finish that washes clean in cold water. Shoppers putting together a Divine Nine holiday gift set can also pair this Crimson and Cream pullover with the Omega Psi Phi Bear Sweater for chapter and family gatherings.
