Gap Celebrates 30 Years of Hoodie History – The Home of the Hoodie
On October 15, 2025, Gap will mark the logo hoodie’s 30-year legacy with a first-of-its-kind global moment spanning 19 markets, on the brand's inaugural Gap Hoodie Day. Anchored in the hoodie’s history, the celebration will highlight how this timeless style continues to influence fashion and connect cultures.
Since its 1995 debut, the Arch Logo Hoodie has been a canvas for self-expression and creativity—worn by musicians, creators, and fans around the world as a symbol of comfort, confidence, and original style. Gap is the home of the hoodie – the brand that turned fleece into a global uniform, instantly recognizable across generations and cultures.
“The Arch Logo Hoodie has been a global icon for decades, defining comfort, style, and originality,” said Jane Pattinson, SVP and Global Head of Design at Gap. “Rooted in culture and reimagined through today’s collaborations, it remains one of our most recognizable designs worldwide. We’re proud to honor its legacy and celebrate how it continues to evolve and inspire across generations and geographies.”
The anniversary will come to life through cultural moments, local activations, and community experiences across key markets—celebrating the hoodie not just as clothing, but as a shared symbol of originality and connection.
