Nebraska Huskers 'Lil Red' Washed Graphic T-Shirt

This is a short-sleeved, crewneck t-shirt featuring a prominent graphic design related to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's athletic program. The shirt appears to be made of a cotton or cotton-blend fabric, characterized by a 'washed' or 'pigment dyed' effect, which gives it a faded, slightly distressed charcoal grey or black color. This washed look adds to a vintage aesthetic. The main graphic is centrally located on the front of the shirt and depicts 'Lil Red', the cartoon mascot for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. 'Lil Red' is shown with a red cowboy hat, blue overalls, and a 'N' logo. Above the mascot, the word 'HÜSKERS' is emblazoned in a stylized, bold, metallic-looking font with red outlines and white highlights, set against a dark, jagged background. The word 'Nebraska' is written above 'Huskers' in a smaller, simpler font, and 'SINCE 1889' is vertically aligned on the left side of the graphic. The base of the graphic includes the word 'Corngrod'. The printing method appears to be screen printing, showing good adherence and detail. The overall condition of the shirt suggests gentle wear, consistent with the intended 'washed' finish, with no visible rips, tears, or significant fading beyond the design's inherent style. There is a small, dark square tag or embroidered logo visible on the lower right hem of the shirt when worn, which might be a brand mark or a different team-related emblem. The craftsmanship appears standard for mass-produced apparel, with visible stitching along the hems and sleeves.
