Led Zeppelin and Eminem are the most famous rock stars who have popularized the hooded sweatshirt.
The popular craze of wearing university names on sweatshirts started only in the 1960s.
Believing that hooded sweatshirts are worn by shoplifters and criminals to hide their identity, Bluewater, the largest shopping center in UK, banned them form its premises.
The word 'sweatshirt' appeared in the English vocabulary in 1925.
