“When grey and sere our hair hath turned / We shall still revere the lessons learned / In our days at Dear Old Shiz.”
- Shiz University Choir, Wicked

Students attending Shiz University are proud to sport unique and iconic uniforms. Inspired by those looks, these toe-up socks are designed to complete the back-to-school ensemble. Ribbing of varying widths coordinates with the varying width of the fabric stripes. A contrast color is used to create the toe, heel, and ‘school spirit’ stripes around the leg of the sock. Easy to knit and easier to wear, these are the perfect socks to mix and match colors that will showcase your School (or team) Spirit!
