The Vault
A Journey Through Our Legacy
Start the CNU Day celebration and impact early by grabbing your spirit gear apparel now from the treasured CNU Day Vault! We are proud to share that all proceeds go directly toward the Captain's Annual Scholarship, opening doors for the next generation of leaders.
This is the sixth time The Vault has opened, and this collection is more than just apparel—it’s a time capsule of spirit gear that represents where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going as members of the Christopher Newport Captain community.
From our CNC roots to the modern energy on the Great Lawn, we’re paying homage to the history, alumni and members of the Captains community who have made Christopher Newport such a special place. Whether you’re an alum, parent, employee, or a lifelong friend of CNU, this is your limited-time window to own a piece of the story and show your pride.
The Vault won't stay open forever. Secure your spirit gear before these designs are locked away in the archives!
There’s a reason it’s our #1 bestseller! The Alumni Crewneck combines hand-stitched navy detail with that cloud-soft Gildan feel you love. The Vault’s MVP is back in stock—get it in a small to 5XL before it’s gone!
