Amherst Socks

Amherst College, founded in 1821, is a prestigious liberal arts institution nestled in the picturesque town of Amherst, Massachusetts. Known for its rigorous academics and commitment to intellectual growth, Amherst sought to create a unique memento for its graduating class. The college partnered with Sock Club to design custom socks featuring the iconic Amherst mammoth mascot and the school's signature purple color. These socks not only serve as a cherished keepsake for alumni but also embody the spirit of camaraderie and tradition that defines the Amherst experience. The socks were an instant hit among students and faculty alike, becoming a popular item at the campus bookstore and a staple at alumni events, helping to strengthen the bond between past and present Amherst community members.
