Grateful Dead Dancing Bears and Logo Black Hoodie

This item is a black hooded sweatshirt featuring iconic Grateful Dead imagery. The primary material appears to be a cotton or cotton blend fleece, typical for casual apparel, offering warmth and comfort. The overall color is a solid black, which provides a strong contrast to the vibrant graphics. The notable features include screen-printed graphics on the front extending down the left sleeve. On the front, arranged vertically, are the words 'GRATEFUL DEAD' in colorful, stylized block letters, each letter being a different bright hue like pink, orange, yellow, green, and blue. Interspersed between the letters and surrounding the text are multiple 'Dancing Bears' in various poses and colors, a well-recognized symbol of the band. These bears are depicted in shades of pink, yellow, orange, blue, and green, outlined in black, creating a playful and energetic visual. The left sleeve features a continuation of the dancing bears motif, with several bears marching down the length of the arm. The hoodie has a front kangaroo pocket and ribbed cuffs and hem, characteristic of classic pullover hoodie construction. Visible condition issues include some general wear consistent with a pre-owned garment, such as slight fading of the black fabric and minor creasing. The screen print itself appears to be largely intact with good color saturation, though the overall vibrancy might be slightly subdued due to age and washing. A white tag, possibly a brand or size tag, is visible near the collar on the right side. This style of merchandise is commonly produced for band fans and collectors, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship appears standard for mass-produced band merchandise.
