The Trophy REDUX Hoodie

Help them prepare not only to dress warmly and smartly, but to look good while doing it, with The Trophy REDUX Hoodie, the perfect premium Colorado apparel item to wear on its own or layered under a hoodie or winter coat.  Just as soft as you'd expect from a piece of 1876 gear, this transitional piece features our iconic Colorado local Trophy tee shirt design, and a classic pattern made from the components of The Trophy in low contrast. Cool, classy, comfy, classic. The best part? The Trophy REDUX hoodie never goes out of style and is perfect for every season, so your loved one can wear it all year long.

It’s a single layer for ultimate comfort, and features a little blue Colorado C and a fuzzy soft faux-fir pom that almost sparkles in the sunlight.
