Getting Amped for Another Great Year with the University of Montana Grizzlies
New products, blackout apparel, a National Championship apparel sale, & more inclusive sizes
We are in the process of restocking all your favorite Griz designs and adding some new products too. Keep an eye on the University of MT Griz Collection over the coming weeks to freshen up your team apparel while supporting local artists and manufacturers!
We also hear you about shirt sizes and know that 3X-6X shirts are often hard to find, so we are implementing a more inclusive ordering strategy for Griz games that will allow us to carry a larger selection of 3X-6X shirts. As usual, we will also have a robust selection of Griz wear and accessories in our brick-and-mortar store in Southgate Mall, and will set up mobile vending outside the stadium at Griz Football home games.
Did you miss out on getting your Frisco National Championship apparel last year? Take advantage of our Frisco Bound Sale (starting today) to get a commemorative shirt, for a limited time only.
The first Griz football game (August 31st) is a blackout game so we will have plenty of black Griz apparel in stock, ready to order from our website or pick up in our store by the second week of August. Don't get caught without your black Griz gear!Building meaningful community alliances
Did you know that, as much as we root for our hometown athletes, we don't just produce athletics merchandise? We are also building partnerships with the UM Alumni Association, The W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation, UM Rodeo, and other UM divisions/ organizations through our merchandise-based fundraising program.
Our fundraising program is designed to raise awareness and funds for local non-profits and other organizations whose missions, visions, and activities play vital roles in our community. We work with these organizations to design merchandise (and sometimes logos or art) that is available to the public through dedicated collections on our website. In addition to managing the production, marketing, and sales of this merchandise, we donate a portion of all sales to the organization in order to directly support their work.
Watch for these upcoming collections (and learn about our other fundraising partners) under the 'Collaborations' drop—down menu on our website. We are excited to welcome these new University of Montana divisions/ affiliates to our merchandise-based fundraising program, while we strengthen and deepen our relationships with our existing nonprofit partners. For instance, check out the newly released 2024 Missoula Pride commemorative poster and three-year poster bundle, ON SALE now!Support local and Go Griz!
