Wisconsin x Grateful Dead Circle Bears Tee

Officially licensed by University of Wisconsin and Grateful Dead - available exclusively through Class Trip.

The Grateful Dead's early 1970's shows at the University of Wisconsin, including a nearly 50-minute version of "Playing in the Band" - the band's longest single-song performance during their career - left a lasting cultural mark on both the university and the broader community. These performances drew students and locals into the unique, improvisational, and countercultural world of the Dead, which resonated deeply in Madison's already progressive, anti-establishment atmosphere. The concerts became more than just music events; they were gatherings for free expression, peace, and a rejection of mainstream social norms, which aligned with the university’s activist reputation in the region.

So whether you're cheering on the Badgers at Kohl Center, or down cruising State Street, the exclusive Wisconsin x Grateful Dead collection from Class Trip features heirloom pieces to show your crew that you're always down for a "U-rah rah Wisconsin!"

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.
