Virginia x Grateful Dead Basketball Bears Tee

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

On September 14, 1982, University Hall traded Wahoowa chants for Jack Straw and Bird Song as the Grateful Dead rolled into Charlottesville. For one night, UVA’s usual ACC energy took a backseat to soaring jams and spaced-out solos. Cavaliers fans—more used to rallying behind Ralph Sampson—found themselves twirling in tie-dye instead, as Peggy-O drifted through the air. The band’s California cool collided with Jeffersonian tradition in a way that just worked. Whether you were a Deadhead, a first-time listener, or just someone looking for a break from midterms, that night felt like something special. Even now, the echoes of those jams still linger, proof that at UVA, whether it’s basketball, history, or a legendary Dead show—once a Wahoo, always a Wahoo.
