A hoodie , also colloquially a hoodie , is a pullover , usually a sweatshirt , with an attached hood . Frequently occurring components are a tunnel-like belly pocket ( kangaroo pocket ) and strings to be able to tie up the hood.
The terms "Smurf", "Kapu", "Kapuzi" or "Hoody" or "Hoodie" are used as synonymous ("Hoodie" is the common name in English ; derived from hood for hood and Robin Hood costumes that represent these always show or imitate with a similar Gugel hood ). The jacket-like variant with a zipper is called "Zipper" or "Full Zip Hooded Sweatshirt".
history
The history of the hoodie began in the 1930s. Style and shape can already be found in the Middle Ages in the Gugel , the formal clothing of Christian monks, which also had hoods sewn on. In modern times, the hoodie was produced in the 1930s by the clothing manufacturer Champion for the workers of freezer warehouses in New York . After that it became popular as sports and street wear.
Tray from Martin
The hoodie became the subject of public debate and a symbol of anti- racism protest in the United States in the wake of the Trayvon Martin death after TV host Geraldo Rivera urged black youth not to wear hoodies to avoid endangering themselves. Rivera later apologized for this statement.
