Why We Do Beat Tees

November 22, 2019


Our biggest events during the fall at the Student Alumni Association are our Beat Tee Handouts. Every Pac-12 home football game we provide members with a specially themed t-shirt to show off our UO spirit. Claiming your Beat Tee the Friday before the game is an exciting way to start off your weekend activities and get pumped for game day. 

“The Beat T-shirts are a way for SAA members to bond over what all UO students and alumni have in common - Duck Pride.”

-Susan Ordonez, Associate Director of Early Engagement at the UOAA

Colored after our team’s game day uniforms, Beat Tees give SAA members an opportunity to match the crowd as they cheer on our mighty ducks at Autzen Stadium. The SAA wants all students to feel united -- Beat Tees provide a sense of pride and connection to all Ducks, both in the crowd and on the field. 



Even after watching the Ducks beat their opponents, Beat Tees can be worn again and again to show off UO spirit. As students graduate and move away from Eugene, Beat Tees become a way to represent our community as alumni every game day. Whether you’re cheering from Autzen Stadium or anywhere else in the world, wearing your Beat Tee will keep you connected with alumni and current students as part of the Duck community. 

 

This year our Beat Tees were incredibly successful as we handed out over 6,500 shirts to our members. We thank all of those who have supported this event through Beat Tee foldings and handouts. This event wouldn’t be the same without all of our student volunteers and UO participation. We can’t wait to continue this tradition next year. Until then, Sco Ducks!
