Forget A, B or O. Your blood type is Viking.

This viking hoodie for men makes one bold claim across the chest, My Blood Type Is Viking, in an original RaZits design for anyone with Norse pride in his bones. Soft cotton-poly turns this viking sweatshirt into an easy everyday layer, and it makes a fitting gift for the relative who brings up his Scandinavian ancestry at every family dinner.

The design: a bearded Viking skull over crossed axes

The words frame the art like a badge. MY BLOOD TYPE IS arches over the top in bold, condensed capitals, and VIKING stands tall underneath, so the whole sentence reads in one glance from across the room. Between them sits a skull with a full, bushy beard and a curled mustache, teeth bared in a grin. It wears a Viking helmet with two curved horns set in riveted collars, a riveted brow band and a riveted strip running over the top of the dome.

Behind the skull, two battle axes cross in an X. Their broad, curved heads flare out on either side of the skull, and the wrapped handles end in hooked tips just below the beard. Everything is drawn in grayscale with fine, engraving-style lines, like an old woodcut or a sheet of classic tattoo flash, and the lettering is dark charcoal with a pale outline. There are no splashes of color and no flames, only crisp line work.

It's the running joke of anyone who claims a little Norse blood, turned into something you can wear: part pride, part wink. Strong design. Strong message. Strong presence.

A viking hoodie that's easy to live in

• Soft 50% cotton, 50% polyester fabric at 8.0 oz/yd² (271 g/m²); the cotton is shrunk before sewing, so the hoodie shrinks less in the wash
• Yarn spun for a smooth, soft feel that resists pilling
• Two layers of fabric in the hood, plus a matching drawcord to pull it close when the wind picks up
• Stretchy cuffs and hem band with a little spandex that spring back into shape at your wrists and waist
• A front pouch pocket for keys, a phone or chilly fingers
• Two rows of stitching at the collar, shoulders, armholes, cuffs and hem for strong seams, and no crease down the middle of the front

Who it's for

For men who wear their heritage out loud: the guy who has traced his roots back to the fjords, the history buff with a shelf of saga books, the regular at axe-throwing night, and the friend who always plays the barbarian on game night. Pull it on for cabin weekends, Norse-themed events or a lazy Sunday on the couch. Birthdays, Father's Day, a Viking-themed party and the holidays are all good times to give it.

Quick answers

How do I pick my size?

It's a men's hoodie. Lay a hoodie you like flat, measure across the chest and from shoulder to hem, and match it to the size guide next to the size options, which also lists body chest. The largest size isn't made in every color, so choose the color first.

Is anything printed on the back?

No. The skull, axes and lettering are printed on the front only, centered on the chest above the pocket, and the back is left plain.

Does the print change on darker hoodies?

Only a little. The art and words are the same on every hoodie; on the darkest one the letters print in a lighter gray so they stay easy to read, and the gray line work shows clearly on every color.

Is the skull meant to be creepy?

Not really. It's a stylized warrior skull with no gore anywhere in the art, so it reads as proud and a little cheeky rather than dark. It suits everyday wear as well as a themed party.

How should I wash it?

Turn it inside out and machine-wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors and a mild detergent. Skip bleach and dry cleaning, tumble-dry low or hang it to dry, and don't iron directly on the print.
