Michigan State x Grateful Dead Circle Bears Tee

Officially licensed by Michigan State University and Grateful Dead - available exclusively through Class Trip.

The Grateful Dead’s March 13, 1971 show at Michigan State’s Jenison Field House was pure early-’70s Dead—tight jams, high energy, and a crowd ready to soak it all in. The intimate venue made for a powerful night, with Truckin’, Uncle John’s Band, and rock ‘n’ roll staples like Johnny B. Goode and Good Lovin’ keeping the place buzzing. MSU students, already tuned into the counterculture movement, embraced the Dead’s spirit of improvisation and community. The band’s frequent Midwest stops—including Detroit and Chicago—helped solidify a growing Deadhead scene in the region. That night at Jenison wasn’t just a concert; it was a moment where music, movement, and college life collided, helping spread the Dead’s ethos across the Midwest.

Meet your new favorite tee. Soft, lightweight, and with just the right amount of stretch, this unisex staple is as comfy as it gets. Whether you’re tailgating, at the show, or or just kicking back after a long, strange trip. A true crowd favorite, it’ll be the MVP of your wardrobe.
