CSU Viking Hoodie

The CSU Viking Green Hoodie is the perfect way to show your Cleveland State pride in style and comfort. Made from a soft cotton-blend fleece, this midweight hoodie features the official CSU Viking logo on a rich green backdrop — a true nod to the university’s iconic colors. Designed for both students and alumni, it offers a relaxed unisex fit with ribbed cuffs and waistband to keep the warmth in. The front kangaroo pocket adds convenience, while the adjustable drawstring hood lets you stay cozy when the weather cools down. But why the Viking? Though Vikings were once known as fierce, seafaring raiders from Scandinavia between the 8th and 11th centuries, Cleveland State University — affectionately known as Fenn College in its earlier days — chose the Viking as its mascot because of the school’s unique location on Lake Erie. Just as Vikings navigated and conquered the open seas, the mascot represents CSU’s bold spirit, adventurous drive, and resilience, drawing inspiration from the school’s lakeside setting on Lake Shore Boulevard. Whether you’re heading to class, cheering at the game, or just hanging out, this hoodie doesn’t just bring warmth and comfort — it connects you to a legacy of strength, exploration, and fearless Cleveland State pride.
