Hiroshima Carp Heavyweight Cotton Terry Full-Zip Hoodie

A VINTAGE-STYLE ZIP HOODIE HONORING THE HIROSHIMA CARP

History: Hiroshima established a professional baseball team as part of the city's reconstruction efforts after the atomic bomb devastation in 1945. The Carp ("Koi" in Japanese) were perennially underfunded, so much so that in 1951 the club almost disbanded. But Hiroshima fans rallied behind their team and collected donations to keep them afloat. In spite of their financial issues, the Carp persevered and made a full revival in recent years, winning three consecutive pennants in 2016–18.

Inspired by ‘70s and ‘80s retro sweatshirts, this Hiroshima Carp hoodie is cut from a soft and sturdy French terry and finished with a double-layer felt applique.
