Ever since Oski the Bear first stepped onto the sidelines at California Memorial Stadium in 1941 wearing his trademark freshman beanie and blue collegiate sweater, UC Berkeley’s Golden Bear mascot has been an unmistakable symbol of East Bay game days. The California Golden Bears Grateful Dead Navy Hoodie pairs that vintage mid-century mascot look with the counterculture rock imagery of the Grateful Dead on a rich, solid Berkeley navy pullover—giving Cal alumni and Deadheads a heritage-inspired layer built for crisp autumn Saturdays in Strawberry Canyon.

Oski on the Gridiron, Lightning Sleeve Bands & The Cal Skull Medallion
Three distinct graphic zones set this navy edition apart from tie-dye or marching-bear designs:
- Back Panel “Grateful Bears” Oski Illustration: Framed between arched gold-and-white varsity block letters reading GRATEFUL above and horizontal BEARS below, Oski the Bear stands in his classic navy-and-gold CAL beanie cap and blue knit sweater. He tucks a brown laced football under his left arm while resting his right elbow casually atop a gold-and-navy Steal Your Face skull split by the classic 13-point white lightning bolt.
- Front Chest Gold-Ringed Cal Skull: Centered above the kangaroo pocket, a bright California Gold circular medallion frames a white-jawed Steal Your Face skull whose deep navy cranial dome houses the official cursive gold Cal script.
- 13-Point Lightning-Bolt Bicep Stripes: Both sleeves are wrapped at mid-bicep with a royal-blue athletic stripe bordered in crisp white and filled with repeating horizontal Grateful Dead lightning bolts.

Campus Layering Comfort & Gallery Reference Note
Tailored from a warm, soft polyester-cotton fleece blend with an adjustable drawstring hood and rib-knit cuffs, this pullover keeps out the evening Bay breeze without stiff or heavy screen-print buildup across the chest and back. Note that while gallery images 05 and 06 provide secondary graphic mockups (including a reversed placement preview and a short-sleeve t-shirt layout), your order delivers the primary long-sleeve Berkeley navy pullover hoodie with the front gold-ringed Cal skull medallion, lightning-bolt sleeve stripes, and back Oski graphic pictured in images 01 through 04.
