Addison Jett and Sydney Brockman with a sweatshirt they designed. Both students are textile and apparel management majors who also work in The Mizzou Store.

If you’ve stopped by The Mizzou Store lately, there’s a good chance you’ve seen a Champion grey Tiger sweatshirt near the back section of the store. Not only is the design a ‘90s-inspired vintage take on athletic apparel, but it was also made by University of Missouri seniors Sydney Brockman and Addison Jett.

As part of the Textile and Apparel Management (TAM) 3480 Technical Design class, students collaborated with the popular clothing brand Champion to design a line of retro Mizzou apparel. The process provided real-world experience in everything from conceptualization to design and distribution, always with the end goal in mind — product placement in the store. Brockman and Jett’s line was recently selected as the class winner, and their full collection will be available at The Mizzou Store this fall — an extra special reward for the pair, who both work at the store as associates.
