Howard University Football just dropped their first-ever NIL collection, and it's fire

Howard University Football and CEV Collection have joined forces for a historic collaboration — the first-ever brand partnership for Howard Football.

Yep, that's right. This is the first-ever brand partnership for Howard Football, which comes in the form of a signature pair of sunglasses co-designed with the Howard football team. Style aside, it's for a good cause, as well, as proceeds from the partnership will directly benefit The Mecca Society, supporting Howard student-athletes through name, image, and likeness (NIL) opportunities.

Working closely with Head Coach Larry Scott, CEV reimagined one of its most popular frames in Howard blue and red. Premium features include polarized lenses, “Bison” imprints on the frame and lens, custom “From Vision Comes Legacy” engraving, a keyhole bridge for a universal fit, and a four-barrel hinge for durability — uniting CEV’s design ethos with Howard University’s storied legacy.

Howard University

The signature style, priced at $93, pays tribute to 1893, the first year in which Howard University fielded an organized football team. According to records, the team played just one game that season — a 40-6 victory over the Washington YMCA. 

Over the last 132 years, Howard has been a founding institution of both the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (CIAA) and the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), won two Black College National Championships in football, five conference championships and produced a number of NFL players, including Super Bowl champion Antoine Betha, Harvey Reed, Jay “Sky” Walker. 

This limited edition is available exclusively at CEV Collection.
