Key Features
Ivy League appeal (University of Pennsylvania), popular earth-tone colorway, specific niche sports interest (Lacrosse), oversized 'gorpcore' or 'academic' aesthetic.

High confidence. Tagging matches standard collegiate licensing from the 2000s; screen print displays correct 'cracking' patterns for the age.
Flaws to Note
Significant orange/yellow stain on the left cuff, overall fabric pilling, possible slight fading from wash cycles. The stain may be permanent depending on the substance.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Poshmark. These platforms favor the 'vintage collegiate' and 'earth tone' aesthetic better than eBay or Facebook Marketplace.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Ivy League', 'University of Pennsylvania', 'Earth Tone', and 'Gorpcore'. Take clear close-ups of the sleeve stain to avoid returns. Suggest an oversized fit for a unisex look.
