William Atkins IV Artwork Cricket Celebration Bowl NCAA College Football Season 2025-26 December 13 2025 South Carolina State Bulldogs vs Prairie View A&M Panthers Unisex T-Shirt
The Cricket Celebration Bowl 2025-26 HBCU National Championship officially unfolds Saturday, December 13, 2025, at noon ET inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia, pitting the South Carolina State Bulldogs (9-3, MEAC champions) against the Prairie View A&M Panthers (10-3, SWAC champions) in this historic tenth-annual bowl game. This exclusive unisex T-shirt immortalizes the electrifying artwork commemorating quarterback William Atkins IV, the graduate transfer from Baltimore, Maryland, who engineered South Carolina State’s offensive dominance with 2,323 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions across 11 games, completing 62.6% of his passes while leading the Bulldogs to their third Celebration Bowl appearance and first MEAC title since 2021. The design captures the intensity of this de facto HBCU national championship, where Prairie View A&M seeks its first Celebration Bowl victory and initial SWAC championship since 2009, while South Carolina State aims to avenge their 2024 loss and capture their second bowl title following their 2021 triumph. The matchup features two contrasting offensive philosophies: Atkins’ surgical pocket-passing precision versus Prairie View’s dual-threat quarterback Cameron Peters, who amassed 2,386 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and nearly 500 rushing yards throughout the season. Broadcast live on ABC with coverage beginning at 12:00 PM, this Cricket Wireless-sponsored event represents the pinnacle of Historically Black College and University football, drawing alumni, students, and HBCU supporters nationwide to witness the crowning of the true HBCU champion. The commemorative apparel showcases the official 2025 Celebration Bowl branding, team logos, and Atlanta skyline elements, making it essential merchandise for fans attending the game, hosting watch parties, or collecting bowl season memorabilia. This high-quality fan gear serves as both a testament to South Carolina State’s resilient 2025 campaign under head coach Chennis Berry and a celebration of HBCU athletic excellence, academic achievement, and cultural heritage that the Celebration Bowl embodies each December in Atlanta’s premier sports venue. Perfect for Bulldogs supporters, college football enthusiasts, and anyone passionate about HBCU traditions, this shirt preserves the legacy of William Atkins IV’s record-breaking senior season while honoring the historic significance of the MEAC-SWAC showdown that determines bragging rights across Black college football for the entire 2025-26 season.
