South Dakota Football x Native American Heritage 2025 Hoodie: Tribal Legacy Meets Gridiron Grit
The front of the hoodie showcases “Sagwamuth” in vivid red script, a nod to ancestral language and identity. Beneath it, the USD paw print anchors the design, symbolizing the Coyotes’ fierce spirit and their connection to South Dakota’s tribal lands.

Inspired by the Oceti Sakowin—the Seven Council Fires—the geometric patterns reflect the unity of nine tribal nations. These motifs, designed in collaboration with Native Student Services, appeared during the 2025 Native Heritage Day game, amplifying Indigenous voices through sport.
On the back, a dreamcatcher encircles the USD emblem, flanked by feathers in red, black, and orange. This emblem evokes resilience and remembrance, echoing the legacy of Lakota warriors and the enduring strength of Native communities across generations.
