The Dustbowl brand features exclusive athletic apparel inspired by college memories and team pride.

Fairfield University is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Dustbowl — a community-driven clothing brand that honors the spirit of camaraderie and shared experiences cultivated on ballfields and in the bleachers.

With the introduction of Dustbowl’s stylish and high-quality apparel, Fairfield University offers its students and alumni a tangible connection to their collegiate journey, complete with memories of games, friendships, and accomplishments that have defined their time on campus.

Fairfield's collaboration with Dustbowl will officially kick off during Alumni Family Weekend, Oct. 18-20. Dustbowl merchandise will be available for purchase at AFW's Stag Fest on campus Saturday, Oct. 19.

“Stag pride is at the heart of our community, reflecting the deep connection that alumni, students, and fans share with Fairfield University. By offering a wide range of products that resonate with their experiences, we celebrate not just the University’s achievements, but also the memories and relationships that define being a Stag,” said Zach Dayton, assistant vice president and deputy athletics director.

Hailing from Wilton, Conn., Dustbowl’s founders — Will Wiseman, Kevin Wall, and Rob DiGiovanni — understand the ways that sports play a vital role in creating connections and fostering a sense of community. They are dedicated to crafting gear that exemplifies the shared experiences of athletes, fans, students, and families within Fairfield’s connected alumni network.

“We are thrilled to partner with Fairfield University,” said co-founder Kevin Wall. “This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to support innovation and community spirit. By offering a diverse range of high-quality gear, we aim to provide students, alumni, and fans with apparel that not only looks great, but also reflects their pride in being part of the Fairfield family.

Dustbowl merchandise will be available for purchase online.
