The hooded sweatshirt has undergone an evolution in American culture since being developed by Champion in the 1930s.
In the beginning, the garment was primarily used by industrial workers in upstate New York.
But in the last 40 years, the hoodie has become an icon of popular culture, ranging from a symbol of triumph when Rocky Balboa wore it in the movie “Rocky” to a statement of defiance when hip-hop groups such as N.W.A. and Public Enemy began wearing them in music videos.
