Gotta say, those helmets are awesome. I'd think selling merch with that logo would do incredible.

Montana Grizzlies Throwback Grizz Bomber Jacket

This slobbering, angry grizzly is Montana fan favorite, officially used from 1966 to 1987. To make sure our bomber jacket captured the late '60s vibe of this good ol' grizzly, we paired the grizzly with a classic, script "Montana" that predates the "Griz" script the school uses today.

No way, dude.
That’s the best logo in all of sports. Very unique.
Reared up and ready to swat.
The slobber. Teeth. Claws. Scruff. It’s got it all and it’s perfect.
He looks cross-eyed and pissed off.
I can literally see the squeal of the pig floating on the air from his tummy.
Not a big tattoo fan but if I ever got one, this would be it.

Did we ever have an actual version of this helmet in the past? Or is this the first time cocaine bear has been on a helmet?

First time:

THROW IT BACK: With more than three million views across multiple social media platforms, you've likely seen Montana's new throwback uniforms that set the college football internet abuzz this week.

The Grizzlies will officially run out of the tunnel at Washington-Grizzly Stadium in those copper and gold throwbacks for homecoming Saturday to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 1995 National Championship.

Montana has worn copper & gold throwback uniforms three times previously. The most recent was in 2018 when legendary QB Dave Dickenson went into the College Football Hall of Fame. Prior to that, the team wore throwbacks in 2015 to celebrate the '95 team's 20th

anniversary. Perhaps most famously the Griz emerged from the Topel Tunnel wearing throwbacks in the 2008 Montana/Montana State game to the surprise of Griz fans everywhere after warming up for the game in maroon and silver.

This year's throwback uniforms feature a unique helmet decal. For the first time ever, "Otto the slobbering bear" will be displayed on the side of a Griz football helmet. The slobbering bear was originally a basketball logo, featured at center court of Dahlberg Arena and on various basketball accessories in the '80's and early '90's until UM officially switched to maroon and silver as its sprit colors in 1996.

Montana originally began sporting "copper, silver, and gold" football uniforms in 1967 under football coach Jack Swarthout, who had returned to UM after coaching at Texas and wanted to pay homage to Montana's rich mining tradition, especially in Butte, America.

Apparel items from Montana's new vintage line can be purchased through the Go Griz Store on campus, Scheelsand Dillard's in the Southgate Mall, or the M Store and Wear Your Roots store in downtown Missoula and at the Grizzly Team Store or UpTop Clothingonline. Due to high demand, inventory is currently low but will be replenished in the coming weeks.
