licensed by University of Florida and Grateful Dead Shirt

It is the mashup you didn’t know you needed until now: the psychedelic soul of the Grateful Dead meets the undeniable energy of the Florida Gators. This officially licensed t-shirt celebrates a unique intersection of cultures, bringing the legendary “Steal Your Face” or “Dancing Bears” aesthetic into the world of Orange and Blue. Whether you spent your college years touring with the band or just appreciate the vintage vibe of the counter-culture, this shirt lets you represent two major parts of your identity at once.

The design is a masterclass in retro cool, featuring the classic Grateful Dead artwork reimagined with University of Florida branding. It captures the spirit of a “long, strange trip” down to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Unlike standard varsity gear, this tee stands out in the crowd, signaling a laid-back, music-loving vibe that fits perfectly at a tailgate or a music festival. It is a piece of wearable art that honors the legacy of Jerry Garcia and the legacy of the Gators in equal measure. Printed on durable, comfortable cotton, it is built to handle the heat of the Florida sun and the rhythm of the drums. Wear it to show that your loyalty is forever—not just to the team, but to the music that never stops.
