Oregon Ducks x Grateful Dead Collaboration On October 25 2025 At Autzen Stadium Eugene Poster Event Artwork Nike Sponsor Swoosh Logo x Class Trip All Over Print Graphic T-Shirt, Hoodie
The Oregon Ducks x Grateful Dead Collaboration On October 25 2025 At Autzen Stadium Eugene Poster Event Artwork Nike Sponsor Swoosh Logo x Class Trip All Over Print Graphic T-Shirt and Hoodie commemorates a historic sports and music culture convergence that took place during the No. 6-ranked Oregon Ducks’ Big Ten Conference football matchup against the Wisconsin Badgers at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, marking the first-ever “Grateful Ducks” themed game celebrating the 60th anniversary of the legendary Grateful Dead band. This officially licensed merchandise collection represents a three-way collaboration between Nike, fashion brand Class Trip, and the Grateful Dead estate, honoring the deep-rooted connection between the iconic jam band and the University of Oregon, where the Grateful Dead performed over 20 concerts in Eugene since the 1960s, including 10 memorable shows at Autzen Stadium between 1974 and 1994, with their final performance at the venue in 1994. The event transformed Autzen Stadium into a psychedelic spectacle as university officials encouraged fans to participate in a “tie-dye out,” flooding the 54,000-capacity stadium with tie-dye apparel while the Oregon football team debuted special Grateful Dead-inspired uniforms featuring green and yellow tie-dye numbers, a duck face Stealie logo with lightning bolt Nike Swooshes on shoulders, and helmets emblazoned with tie-dye University of Oregon logos and colorful Oregon Duck mascots parading like the Dead’s classic dancing bears. This limited-edition apparel collection, available through Nike.com, SNKRS, Fanatics, dead.net, classtrip.co, and The Duck Store, features authentic poster event artwork capturing the vibrant atmosphere of game day when Oregon defeated Wisconsin 21-7 in rainy conditions before 54,000 fans. The collaboration pays tribute to Eugene’s unique counterculture history, which began in the 1960s when the city became both the birthplace of Nike and a center of countercultural creativity led by novelist Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters, who brought the Grateful Dead to the university for their first Oregon concert in 1968, establishing Eugene as the band’s “home away from home” according to Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux. The Grateful Ducks collection showcases designs by legendary Grateful Dead artist Shawn Kenney and features Class Trip’s signature tie-dye craftsmanship merged with Oregon Ducks athletics branding, incorporating iconic Grateful Dead imagery including Steal Your Face logos, dancing bears reimagined as dancing ducks, and rainbow stitching details that reference Jerry Garcia’s personal connection to Nike sneakers during the band’s legendary early 1990s stadium shows. This authentic commemorative merchandise serves as a tangible connection to a singular moment in college football and music history, capturing the spirit of both Duck Nation and Deadheads in celebration of psychedelic rock legacy meeting modern collegiate athletics excellence.
