History of Chenille Letters
History of Chenille letters
The history of embroidering the chenille letter on the varsity letterman jacket dates back to 1865 when for the first time the Harvard university baseball team sported a huge “H” fashioned in old English on their uniform of gray colored flannel jerseys. Later, in 1875 the football team also took up the practice of sporting the letter “H” on their uniforms.
A distinct symbol of recognition
The schools, colleges, universities, and different sports teams have their own stringent criteria when it comes to awarding the award letter. For instance, football players have to participate in atleast 90 games in a season and the basketball players have to play in atleast 50% of the games played in a season.
Similarly, in the academic category also the student has to give consistent and excellent performance in order to be awarded the award letter. The number of Chenille chevrons on the individual’s jacket or t-shirt further enhances the distinction by specifying the number of years that the individual has held the distinction.
