Like other old hoodies, it had its price changed from 400 to 300 coins in the September 2010 Penguin Style catalog.
In an old version of Club Penguin's common swf files from early 2006, which included every clothing item's icon and paper, as well as many popups, there was a paper swf (what is shown on a Player Card) for a variant of the Black Hoodie that had a "CP" logo on it. No information is included in the files about this item beyond its ID being 223, which was later used for the Green Hoodie.
