\n\tThe club has partnered with The Grateful Dead<\/a> for 2026\/2027, kicking it off right with the introduction of a psychedelic tie-dye jersey<\/a> to pay homage to the iconic band\u2019s aesthetics<\/a>. It only made sense that these two entities would collaborate, given that The Grateful Dead played its first show under that name in San Jose, Calif. Retailing for $159.99 for men<\/a> and $99.99 for women<\/a>, this tee is equipped with light and dark blues swirled alongside splashes of pink, almost purple. The youth version of the jersey<\/a> is an exact copy of the grown-up version and retails for $79.99<\/a>. Why tie-dye? Well, the pattern has become the unofficial uniform for fans of the band.<\/p>\n \n\tYou\u2019ve also got black accents that break up the colorful scene, along with coordinating black graphics reading the club\u2019s official healthcare partner and sponsor, El Camino Health. The Adidas logo can be seen on the front alongside the club\u2019s logo, also in black. The back panel is void of tie-dye but features The Grateful Dead\u2019s logo just below the collar. Sizing for the piece ranges from small to 3XL for men and small to 2XL for women. Youth sizing runs from small to XL.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tExplore\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n See latest videos, charts and news<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tMLS Club San Jose Earthquakes x The Grateful Dead Jersey \t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tThis collaborative jersey marks a new season for the Earthquakes and pays homage to The Grateful Dead\u2019s roots in San Jose. The tie-dye makes reference to fans of the band\u2019s unofficial uniform.\t<\/p>\n \n\tBeyond jerseys, this new kit also includes cozy and extra stylish Adidas tracksuits and custom jerseys that allow big fans the opportunity to see their name, or their favorite player\u2019s name, on the back of their collaborative jersey for $134.99<\/a> for adults and $114.99 for kids<\/a>. The tracksuit consists of a zip-up top and bottoms in deep blue with pink and light blue accents, like the jersey. The bottom and top are sold separately from each other. The track pants are $89.99<\/a> and the top is $109.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tThis isn\u2019t the first time the band has teamed up with a soccer team. Back in 2023, the Grateful Dead teamed up with English soccer club Forest Green Rovers for a similar merch rollout<\/a>. The collaboration<\/a> featured Grateful Dead skull logos on team apparel and was approved by the band\u2019s archivist, David Lemieux, driven by a mutual, environmentally conscious and sustainable ethos.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cFor us, it\u2019s a perfect match,\u201d said Lemieux in an interview with Billboard in 2023<\/a>. \u201cForest Green Rovers is a team that really follows Grateful Dead values, which is to say that we\u2019re both conscious of the world around us and we want to make sure that we leave it a better place than when we arrived.\u201d Fashionable collaborations aside, the San Jose Earthquakes are set to get back on the turf Feb. 21, hosting a match against Sporting Kansas City at PayPal Park. Following that match, the club will face off against Atlanta United FC on Feb. 28. Both matches can be watched with a subscription to Apple TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors.
