The Red Shirt
Meet the 18th Edition!
Each year, The Red Shirt features a new design chosen by voters like you — available for one year only. This year’s design invites you to celebrate your Badger pride at the Camp Randall arch with a bright look inspired by vintage travel posters.
The Red Shirt, 18th edition will be released in August, just in time for the start of a new school year.
Don't Miss Out on the 17th Edition

History and Retired Editions
The year was 2008. The idea was simple: give Badgers a spirited way to give back. The tradition of The Red Shirt was born. Ever since the first edition was unveiled in 2008, a new, collectible design has been introduced every year. With each new edition of The Red Shirt, the previous one is retired … never to be sold again. But because every edition of The Red Shirt unites Badgers and gives students the chance to earn a UW degree, they’ll never be forgotten.
