University of Missouri students AJ Hays, Joey White and Raven Smith were recently named winners of the College Vault Collection competition — a collaboration between MU’s Department of Textile and Apparel Management and apparel company Champion. The first piece of apparel will be available in the Mizzou Store beginning April 21, and additional designs will be released this fall.

“It feels unreal to win,” White said. “I loved working with my teammates and figuring out how we could blend our own styles with an established brand. I’m excited for Mizzou students and fans to start wearing our designs later this year.”
