Iowa State x Grateful Dead Basketball Bears Hoodie

Officially licensed by the Grateful Dead & Iowa State University. 

While the Grateful Dead did not perform at Iowa State University itself, they played some notable shows 30 minutes down the road in Des Moines 4 times. On May 13, 1973, they delivered an extensive three-set performance, one of their longest shows, lasting over four hours. ISU students and fans appreciate the Dead’s free-spirited ethos, which aligns with the tailgating and gameday atmosphere surrounding Cyclones athletics. Songs like Truckin’ and Touch of Grey often make appearances at parties and gatherings, fostering a laid-back, communal vibe. The band’s famous “Deadhead” culture also appeals to ISU fans who value loyalty and tradition—something deeply embedded in the school's sports and social scene.

This hoodie is made of 65% ring-spun cotton, 35% polyester for that perfect lightweight feel.

Disclaimer: This hoodie runs small. For the perfect fit, we recommend ordering one size larger than your usual size.
