Our Story
Since 1636 - Established 1954 - Founded 2000
Founded only recently in 2000, Ivysport traces its roots all the way back to the establishment of Harvard in 1636. At that time, Harvard and its subsequent Ivy rivals paved a path of excellence in both academics and athletics.
Ivysport grew out of the traditions of the Ivy League, itself an athletic conference formalized by the eight Ivy schools many years later in 1954.
Known as the "Ancient Eight" — Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton and Yale are more than America's finest colleges. They represent the passionate drive to succeed in learning, athletics, and the game of life.
We're Inspired by traditional and classic collegiate clothing of the Ivies and are driven by the excellence in academics and athletics that the Ivies represent.
Ivysport was started by a group of Ivy alumni who established Ivysport to capture the rich tradition of the league in a line of current, classic and distinguished clothing. What started in a garage back in 2000 has grown into an expansive online retailer serving students, alumni, parents, fans and their families.
Ivysport's staff takes great pride in the quality of our apparel and the schools we represent.
