Sounds like it!

www.oed.com/dictionary/sweatshirt_n?tl=true

The earliest known use of the noun sweatshirt is in the 1920s.

OED’s earliest evidence for sweatshirt is from 1929, in Sears, Roebuck Catalogue.

EDIT: I never really thought about the word until now, realized that it’s a portmanteau of “sweater” and “shirt”.
