Grinch Christmas Hoodie Black Stanford Cardinal Sitting On Toilet California Golden Bears Holiday Sweatshirt Funny College Football NCAA

This Grinch Christmas Hoodie celebrates Stanford’s perspective on the legendary Big Game rivalry with California, featuring the humorous design of the Grinch in Stanford’s cardinal red and white colors sitting on a toilet emblazoned with the California Golden Bears logo. The Big Game is one of the oldest and most celebrated rivalries in college football, dating back to March 19, 1892, when the two Bay Area universities first met in San Francisco in a game that nearly didn’t happen until future U.S. President Herbert Hoover, then Stanford’s team manager, remembered to bring a football, and the rivalry has been played 127 times through the 2024 season with Stanford holding the all-time series lead 66-53-11, though California won the most recent matchup 24-21 on November 23, 2024, at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley in the first Big Game as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Stanford competes from Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, which opened in 1921 and seats 50,424, where the Cardinal have built a proud tradition including multiple national championships in the pre-poll era (1926, 1940) and producing legendary players including Heisman Trophy winners Jim Plunkett (1970), Ernie Nevers (1925 runner-up), and John Elway who led Stanford to a 20-0 shutout of Cal in the 1982 Big Game before his Hall of Fame NFL career with the Denver Broncos. The winner of the Big Game receives the Stanford Axe, one of the most iconic trophies in college football history that originated in 1899 as a symbol used by Stanford fans to rally against California before being stolen by Cal students in a daring heist in 1930 and held for 31 years until Stanford recaptured it in 1961, since which time it has been awarded annually to the victor with California currently holding possession after winning four consecutive games from 2021-2024, ending Stanford’s 2010-2018 dominance streak. The rivalry has produced some of the most memorable moments in college football history, including “The Play” in 1982 when California returned a kickoff for a touchdown using five laterals and ran through the Stanford band as time expired to win 25-20 in one of the most famous and controversial plays in sports history, and “The Payback” in 1990 when Stanford overcame a 21-25 deficit with a last-second field goal after recovering an onside kick and benefiting from a controversial roughing the passer penalty. This black holiday sweatshirt combines festive Christmas spirit with Stanford’s academic excellence and athletic tradition, making it perfect NCAA merchandise for Cardinal supporters who want to showcase their team loyalty with a playful jab at their Bay Area rival during the holiday season while celebrating moments like Christian McCaffrey’s record-breaking 389 all-purpose yards in the 2015 Big Game and Stanford’s status as one of the nation’s premier institutions that combines world-class academics with competitive Division I athletics in one of college football’s most culturally significant and geographically compact rivalries.
