The Yard - Alcorn State University

Alcorn State University started something in 1871 that has never stopped. As the first public HBCU in the United States, Alcorn laid the foundation that every other school on this list was built on. The Braves carry purple and gold through Lorman, Mississippi, and through every generation of alumni who went out and made the world wider.

Shop the Alcorn State collection at DungeonForward for hats, hoodies, sweatshirts, and tees built for Braves who know what that founding legacy means. DungeonForward brings intentional, story-driven design to every piece. Students, alumni, and supporters of the nation's first public HBCU will find their fit here.

SWAC competition, homecoming on the bluff, and the sense of pride that comes with representing a school that started it all. This collection was made for every Alcorn moment. Pull up to the game in it, wear it on campus, or rep the Braves from wherever life has taken you.

Founded in 1871, Alcorn State carries a weight that most schools will never fully understand. Being first meant building without a blueprint, and everything Alcorn has produced since then reflects that founding spirit. The Braves have sent leaders, educators, athletes, and change-makers into the world for over 150 years. That tradition belongs to every person who has ever worn purple and gold.

DungeonForward is a Black-owned headwear and apparel brand built on art, storytelling, and HBCU culture. Every Alcorn piece in this collection was designed to honor the school's historic place in HBCU history. A portion of every HBCU collection purchase supports HBCU scholarships. Crowns For The Culture means giving back to the institutions that gave so much to all of us.

Crown Yourself. Go Braves.
