EA Day History
About Haverford/EA Day
EA Day (or Haverford Day from the blue-and-white perspective) is a tradition of sportsmanship and competition that spans decades. Alumni, parents, and students gather to cheer on their school's team. For students, it marks a day of competition against an archrival and the close of the fall sports season.
The Sweater
Since 1980, a symbol of Haverford/EA Day has been the coveted split-sweater. Maroon with gold stripes on the left sleeve and navy with white stripes on the right, the sweater is composed of half of a Haverford School sweater and half of an Episcopal Academy sweater neatly sewn together. The school whose teams win the day retains the sweater (along with bragging rights), on its campus for the ensuing year. The Sweater Ceremony ends the day.
