The Grateful Dead are infusing their rock n’ roll aesthetic with the preppy style of Rowing Blazers for a second time. The newest Grateful Dead x Rowing Blazers collection was released on Thursday (July 18) and embraces an elevated sportswear look including pieces modeled after the tenniscore trend, which has only continued to explode in the fashion scene — especially since the release of Challengers.
Available on RowingBlazers.com, the exclusive collection lets Deadheads trade the vintage band T-shirt look for a more sophisticated range of apparel, including rugby long sleeves and tennis polos. While new pieces are available to shop, apparel from the first collaboration the two dropped together have also been restocked, giving fans another opportunity to stock up on the limited-edition Grateful Dead merch.

Grateful Dead Lightweight Stealie Rugby
This rugby shirt is begging to steal the show with its vibrant tie-dye pattern complete with a Grateful Dead patch on the top corner. To really dress the look up, it comes with a white contrasting collar, quarter button-up style and cuffed sleeves.
Grateful Dead Sailing Club Tee
Fans of a T-shirt can still pick up the style in this sailing-themed graphic top featuring the rock band’s colors and well-known white lightning bolt. The material is made from 100% cotton that’s soft and lightweight, so you can wear it all day without counting down the seconds until you can change out of it.
Grateful Dead Tennis Club Polo
Dress up your merch with this tennis polo, which comes in a lightweight, airy material you’ll be tempted to never take off. For added style, the top corner features an embroidered Dancing Bear holding on to a tennis racket to show off its more sporty side.
Grateful Dead Tennis Club Dad Hat
Keep your head protected in style with this dad-inspired hat featuring the classic Grateful Dead Dancing Bears. The base comes in a clean-cut white with a green bear embroidered on the front to let everyone know just how much of a Deadhead you are.
Grateful Dead Grandma Knit Stealie Sweater
Cozy up in this chic crewneck sweater with the Grateful Dead’s eye-catching skull logo on the front of the pullover. It’s made from 100% cotton that’ll help swaddle you in comfort and should be dry-cleaned only, according to the brand’s official description. Sizes are currently available for pre-order with an expected shipping date of on or before August 4.
While the sportswear brand puts an emphasis on creating looks that can be shown off on the tennis court and country club, it does so with an eclectic, colorful vibe similar to the iconic Dancing Bears that the “Touch of Grey” band is known for. Styles and sizes are already selling out, which means you’ll want to act fast if you plan on giving your band apparel a nice update.
Outside of growing their collaborations, the Grateful Dead have come together as Dead & Company to perform a mesmerizing residency at Las Vegas’ The Sphere, which you can still get tickets to.
