Cricket Celebration Bowl NCAA College Football Season 2025-26 South Carolina State Bulldogs x Grateful Dead Skull Logo Champion Celebration Winner Acid Washed T-Shirt

This officially licensed Cricket Celebration Bowl NCAA College Football Season 2025-26 championship merchandise commemorates the historic December 13, 2025 showdown between the South Carolina State Bulldogs and Prairie View A&M Panthers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, marking the 10th anniversary edition of the HBCU National Championship game. The South Carolina State Bulldogs, representing the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) as champions with a commanding 9-3 record and riding a seven-game winning streak, faced off against the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) champion Prairie View A&M Panthers in this nationally televised ABC broadcast at noon Eastern Time. This vintage acid-washed t-shirt features an exclusive crossover design merging the iconic Grateful Dead skull logo with South Carolina State Bulldogs championship celebration graphics, creating a unique collectible that blends legendary rock and roll imagery with HBCU football excellence. The Bulldogs made their third appearance in the Celebration Bowl under head coach Chennis Berry, who earned back-to-back MEAC Coach of the Year honors, seeking redemption after their 2024 loss while tying with Alcorn State and Jackson State for the second-most appearances in Celebration Bowl history. This first-ever meeting between South Carolina State and Prairie View A&M carried immense significance as the Panthers made their inaugural Celebration Bowl appearance under first-year head coach Tremaine Jackson, claiming their first SWAC championship since 2009 after stunning reigning champion Jackson State 23-21 in a dramatic road victory. The Bulldogs’ roster featured standout defensive back Jarod Washington, the 2025 Aeneas Williams Award Winner and MEAC Defensive Player of the Year, leading one of the nation’s most dominant defensive units alongside offensive lineman Roger Smith, the MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Year. The Cricket Celebration Bowl, which pits MEAC and SWAC champions against each other annually, has become the definitive showdown for HBCU football supremacy since its inception, with the MEAC holding a commanding 6-3 record in the series heading into this milestone 10th edition. The acid-washed finish and Grateful Dead skull logo design element make this championship celebration t-shirt a distinctive piece of memorabilia that captures both the countercultural spirit of the legendary rock band and the triumphant achievement of HBCU athletic excellence at one of college football’s most prestigious venues, the state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.​
