Vintage Nebraska 'Get Riled Up!' Football T-Shirt

This is a vintage short-sleeved t-shirt, predominantly red in color, likely made from a cotton or cotton blend fabric, typical of casual apparel. The shirt features a crew neck and appears to be a standard adult size, though specific dimensions are not provided. The main graphic on the front is central and bold, consisting of text and an image related to American football. At the top of the graphic is a white football helmet with a red 'N' decal on the side, indicating an affiliation with the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers or a similar team. Below the helmet, the text 'GET RILED UP!' is printed in a distressed white font, suggesting a worn or vintage aesthetic. Further down, in a larger, bolder white font, is 'WE ARE ALL', followed by a prominent, oversized red 'N' outlined in white, and then 'THIS' in white, all culminating with 'TOGETHER' in smaller white text. The overall motto appears to be 'GET RILED UP! WE ARE ALL N THIS TOGETHER'. The t-shirt exhibits visible signs of wear consistent with its likely age and use. The red color has faded somewhat, particularly around the shoulders and high-wear areas, giving it a soft, laundered appearance. There are no obvious tears, holes, or significant stains visible in the provided image, but the fabric shows general surface wear and some pilling might be present upon closer inspection. The print itself appears largely intact, though the intentional distressed look makes it difficult to ascertain if any fading on the graphic is purely design or also a result of wear. The construction seems typical of mass-produced t-shirts, with visible seams along the shoulders and sides. There are no discernible maker's marks or tags visible in the photograph, which would typically be located near the neck. Given the style of the graphic and the apparent wear, this shirt likely dates from the late 20th century or early 21st century, possibly from the 1990s or 2000s, aligning with the popularity of collegiate sports apparel.
