University of Nebraska and the Grateful Dead Shirt

There is a special kind of dedication found in Lincoln, and a similar kind found on tour. The University of Nebraska Grateful Dead Mashup Shirt celebrates the intersection of these two passionate fanbases. Whether it’s the “Steal Your Face” skull adorned with a Cornhusker helmet or Dancing Bears marching to the fight song, this design captures the best of both worlds. It transforms the sea of red into a psychedelic experience, offering a laid-back, retro alternative to the standard varsity block lettering found in the campus bookstore. It’s a shirt that says you’re ready for the kickoff and the second set.

To make sure the Scarlet and Cream vibes truly sing, we print this artwork on the Gildan Heavy Cotton tee. We selected this fabric for its ability to showcase vibrant retro tones. The 5.3 oz, 100% cotton material provides a stable surface that allows the ink to sit boldly without soaking in and becoming dull. This means the reds are deep, the blues are rich, and the psychedelic accents pop with vintage clarity. It creates a look that feels like a treasured tour shirt from the ’70s, but with the durability to handle modern game days for seasons to come.
