Vintage 80 Signal USA Sweatshirt L FU Berlin Freie Universität Cold War Era Rare

This is more than just a sweatshirt — it’s a piece of Cold War history captured in vintage streetwear form. Made in the USA by Signal, this sweatshirt dates to the late 1980s–early 1990s, the exact moment Berlin stood at the center of global change. With the Berlin Wall falling in 1989 and Germany reunifying in 1990, Freie Universität Berlin (FU Berlin) symbolized Western academic freedom against Soviet control. Wearing this sweatshirt back then meant more than school pride — it was a statement about liberty, knowledge, and resistance.
