Auburn Crest Classic CrewneckOriginally founded as the East Alabama Male College, Auburn was renamed twice more before becoming Auburn University. Even when it was known as the Alabama Polytechnic Institute (up until 1960), youll find some vintage memorabilia that calls the university Auburn. This crest that incorporates the universitys athletics calls back to retro college gear of the 80s and 90s. Products are mocked up on a size S. Graphics may appear smaller on larger sizes.
