Is this an official Texas Workforce Commission item?

No, this apparel is not affiliated with the Texas Workforce Commission. The acronym TWC on this hoodie refers to Texas Western College, the former name of the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). This product celebrates the historical branding and athletic legacy of the university rather than any government agency.

Does this hoodie feature the 1966 Texas Western basketball team?

The design honors the broader vintage era of Texas Western athletics, including the famous 1966 championship period. However, the graphics focus on the school’s historical branding, such as the crossed pickaxe logo and “Texas Western” text, rather than specific player names or jersey numbers from that game. It serves as a tribute to the institution’s overall legacy during that time.

What does TWC stand for on this hoodie?

In this context, TWC stands for Texas Western College. This was the name of the University of Texas at El Paso before it changed its identity to UTEP. The acronym highlights the institution’s heritage and is a key element of the vintage collegiate style found on this black hoodie.

Can I personalize this hoodie with my name or number?

Yes, you can personalize this hoodie by adding your own name or favorite number. During checkout, select the customization options to create a unique piece of fan gear. This allows you to tailor the vintage Texas Western design to reflect your personal connection to the school or your preferred athlete identifier.

All-over print construction

Design is printed edge-to-edge using dye-sublimation / all-over print (AOP) so the artwork wraps the garment. Because each piece is cut and sewn after printing, pattern placement can vary slightly — especially at seams and sides. Photos show a representative style; choose tee, sweatshirt, or hoodie options at checkout when offered.

Fit & sizing

Use the size chart in the listing images before ordering. AOP styles often have a regular unisex fit; if you prefer a looser look, size up. Youth or plus sizes follow the chart for that specific blank.

Care instructions

• Machine wash cold, inside out
