Material and care instructions

Made from soft cotton blend fabric, this shirt prioritizes breathability and comfort for all-day wear. To preserve the print quality and fabric integrity, machine wash cold with like colors. Tumble dry on low heat to prevent shrinking or fading. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents directly on the printed area. Proper care ensures the Iowa Has Your Back slogan remains vibrant through multiple seasons of use.

Is this shirt official University of Iowa merchandise?

No, this is an independent fan apparel item inspired by Iowa state pride and Hawkeyes culture. It is not licensed by the University of Iowa or any official athletic department. The design focuses on the community slogan rather than trademarked university logos. Buyers should understand this distinction when looking for official merchandise or licensed collegiate gear.
