Wildcat pride carries a legacy all its own. From Daytona Beach to wherever life takes you, Bethune-Cookman University is the kind of place that stays with you. Our B-CU collection celebrates that connection with apparel made for students, alumni, and Wildcats who proudly carry Maroon and Gold wherever they go.

Designed and handmade in Atlanta by Rookie ATL, a Black-owned, HBCU-alumni-operated brand, each piece is created with B-CU’s culture, history, and the legacy of Mary McLeod Bethune in mind. From Homecoming to everyday wear, this one’s for Wildcat Nation.

We Do Not sell slim fitted, or ribbed apparel,

Men's/Unisex Short Sleeve T-Shirts/V-Necks are all Gildan Soft style 100% ring-spun cotton (64000/64V00) by default. We use Bella Canvas (3001) when Gildan Soft style is not available.

Adult Hoodies Have Received An Upgrade...👀

As of January 1, 2026, we are moving exclusively to a premium brand Hoodie (and Sweatpants) from Independent Trading Co (ITC). We may continue to use Gildan Hoodies when colors and sizes are unavailable with our default supplier. Independent Trading Co is a different, much higher quality experience from our old styles and are provided to you at ZERO extra costs. All Sweatsuit Sets will use ITC for both the top and bottom so that the colors match perfectly. Youth & Toddler Sweatshirts (18000B) and Hoodies (18500B) will remain Gildan.

Quality Printing Method...🖨️

We use iColor White Toner Transfer Printing, iColor DTF Printing, Direct-To-Garment (DTG), and Screen Printing depending on the item purchased. We use a T-Seal Finishing Sheet to permanently seal, or bond, the design to the fabric. We do not use iron-on vinyl except with Old Gold and Silver. Both colors are much brighter and have a superior overall appearance in vinyl. However, 99.99% of our products are printed/transferred onto the garment directly.
