Columbia (Men's)
The Columbia Ivy Oxford.
The striking color of New York City’s Ivy, Columbia University, founded in 1754.
This Columbia Blue trimmed oxford was made for late-night study (or, debauchery) sessions, socializing on the South Lawn, grabbing a bite around campus or cheering on the Lions at Wien Stadium. Engineered to be proudly worn until threadbare.
Origins of Color
The Columbia colors, light blue and white, were appropriated from the campus Philolexian and Peithologian Societies, the former claiming the blue and the latter the white, and were used as a combination as early as 1852. The particular shade of light blue became popularly known as Columbia Blue around the turn of the century and is in common usage today as a shade of blue. Several other colleges claim “Columbia Blue” as one of their school colors. (Source: gocolumbialions.com)
