Oregon Ducks x Grateful Dead Collaboration On October 25 2025 At Autzen Stadium Eugene Poster Event Artwork Nike Sponsor Swoosh Logo x Class Trip Vintage Washed Unisex T-Shirt
This exclusive vintage washed unisex t-shirt commemorates the historic “Grateful Ducks” collaboration between Nike, Class Trip, the University of Oregon, and the Grateful Dead, celebrating the legendary October 25, 2025, game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene where the #6-ranked Ducks defeated Wisconsin 21-7 in rainy, psychedelic-themed conditions that transformed college football history. The premium shirt features striking poster-inspired artwork showcasing the Oregon Duck mascot alongside the Grateful Dead’s iconic Dancing Bears in vibrant green and yellow Oregon colors, rendered in the band’s signature trippy, psychedelic aesthetic with “Grateful” and “Ducks” text in the distinctive style reminiscent of classic 1960s-70s Grateful Dead concert posters, complete with Nike Swoosh logos and “October 25, 2025” and “Autzen Stadium” commemorative details. This vintage washed tee features a specialized acid wash finish achieved through unique washing techniques that create an authentically aged, retro appearance with subtle color variations unique to each shirt, evoking the classic worn-in aesthetic of original 1960s-70s rock band tour merchandise while showcasing the collaborative artwork that bridges sport and counterculture. Crafted from heavyweight 100% combed ring-spun cotton with unisex sizing that fits true to size—featuring chest measurements ranging from 34-36″ (Small) to 50-52″ (2XL) and a relaxed, boxy fit with dropped shoulders inspired by vintage streetwear—this officially licensed shirt offers buttery-soft comfort and durability through high-quality screen printing that preserves the design through repeated wear. Created through the groundbreaking partnership between Nike, Class Trip (a Portland-based brand known for bridging sport and counterculture), and the Grateful Dead estate, this limited-edition merchandise honors nearly 60 years of connection between the iconic band and Eugene—where they performed over 20 shows between 1968 and 1994, making the University of Oregon their “home away from home” beginning with their first concert brought to campus by novelist Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters during Eugene’s countercultural heyday as the birthplace of Nike. The October 25 “Grateful Ducks” game became legendary as the first-ever tie-dye themed college football event, with Oregon wearing custom Generation O uniforms featuring green tie-dye numbers and special Grateful Dead Nike patches while 54,000 fans flooded Autzen Stadium in psychedelic gear for a “tie-dye out” celebrating the Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary—creating an unprecedented fusion of athletic competition and musical heritage. Available as part of the official Grateful Ducks Collection released October 21-24, 2025, through Nike.com, SNKRS, Fanatics, dead.net, classtrip.co, and the Duck Store, this vintage washed tee complements the sold-out limited-edition Air Max 90 sneakers ($145, now reselling for $200+) and other apparel featuring tie-dye elements, lightning-bolt Swooshes, and Steal Your Face Duck logos. The shirt’s design features original artwork by legendary Grateful Dead artist Shawn Kenney, depicting the Oregon Duck and Dancing Bears in a composition that captures both the psychedelic spirit of the Dead and the athletic excellence of Oregon football, all rendered on fabric treated with vintage washing processes that give each shirt a unique, lived-in character reminiscent of authentic 1970s concert merchandise. This collector’s item represents more than typical sports apparel—it’s wearable art celebrating the convergence of college football tradition, music history, and countercultural legacy at a game where Oregon’s defense dominated (holding Wisconsin to 335 yards, the Ducks’ second-lowest opponent total of the season) while running back Jordon Davison rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns in torrential rain, all against the backdrop of thousands of tie-dye clad fans uniting Ducks supporters and Deadheads in Eugene’s unique spirit. Machine washable for easy care (wash inside out in cold water, air dry away from direct sunlight, and avoid ironing directly on the print to preserve the vintage wash finish), this premium t-shirt maintains its authentically aged aesthetic while offering lasting durability through proper maintenance. As authentic memorabilia from a collaboration that bridges generations and celebrates Eugene’s role as both Nike’s birthplace and the Grateful Dead’s West Coast home, this vintage washed tee represents a once-in-a-lifetime convergence of sport, music, and counterculture—making it essential for Grateful Dead fans, Oregon Ducks supporters, Nike collectors, and anyone who appreciates the long strange trip that connects athletic excellence with psychedelic rock history.
