Grinch Christmas Hoodie Black Pittsburgh Panthers Sitting On Toilet West Virginia Mountaineers Holiday Sweatshirt Funny College Football NCAA

This Grinch Christmas Hoodie celebrates Pittsburgh’s perspective on the legendary Backyard Brawl rivalry with West Virginia, featuring the humorous design of the Grinch in Pittsburgh’s royal blue and gold colors sitting on a toilet emblazoned with the West Virginia Mountaineers logo. The Backyard Brawl is one of the most storied and intense rivalries in college football, dating back to October 26, 1895, when West Virginia won the inaugural meeting 8-0 in Morgantown, with the rivalry earning its nickname from the close proximity of just 75 miles along Interstate 79 that separates the two universities, creating a geographic and cultural divide between urban Pittsburgh and rural West Virginia that has fueled passionate competition for over 125 years across 108 meetings through the 2025 season. Pitt leads the all-time series 63-41-3 and competes from Acrisure Stadium (formerly Heinz Field) in Pittsburgh, where the Panthers have built a proud tradition including nine national championships (most recently 1976) and legendary players like Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett, though the program’s most defining moment against West Virginia came in the infamous 2007 Backyard Brawl when unranked 4-7 Pittsburgh, as 28.5-point underdogs, pulled off one of the biggest upsets in college football history by defeating No. 2 West Virginia 13-9 in Morgantown, crushing the Mountaineers’ dreams of playing for their first national championship and earning the game ESPN’s “Game of the Year” award. The rivalry was played annually without interruption from 1943 to 2011 before an 11-year hiatus caused by conference realignment when Pittsburgh joined the ACC and West Virginia joined the Big 12, but the series resumed in 2022 and was extended through 2036 in September 2025, ensuring future generations can experience one of college football’s most passionate and geographically compact rivalries. West Virginia won the most recent meeting on September 13, 2025, in overtime 31-24 at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown, though Pitt holds the edge in recent matchups and the historic series that includes the Old Ironsides Trophy (1952-1970) that once encompassed a three-way rivalry with Penn State. This black holiday sweatshirt combines festive Christmas spirit with Pittsburgh’s proud football heritage, making it perfect NCAA merchandise for Panthers supporters who want to showcase their team loyalty with a playful jab at their biggest rival during the holiday season while celebrating moments like the program’s 1976 national championship season when Tony Dorsett rushed for 199 yards and three touchdowns against West Virginia, and the Panthers’ status as one of college football’s historic powers with a tradition that continues to define Western Pennsylvania sports culture.
