Maybe a little off topic here, but I somehow find it kinda ironic that the “hoodie” was invented by two Jewish Brothers and their father in 1919. They were however not named Zimmerman.
Company history:

Founded as Champion Knitwear in Rochester, New York in 1919 by brothers William and Abraham Feinbloom together with their father Simon Feinbloom. In October 2010 William and Abraham were inducted into the Rochester Business Hall of Fame.
Champion is the clothing company that invented the hoodie, sports bra, reversible t-shirts, and breathable mesh clothing (found in trucker hats).
Champion produced uniforms for National Basketball Association teams during the 1990s. It has also produced sportswear for many major colleges.
