Look for the label

To make sure your Montana State gear is authentic, always look for the label. "Officially Licensed Collegiate Products" tags, holograms or stickers to show that your purchase supports the University, Bobcat Athletics and meets licensing standards.

What do these Labels Signify?

When you purchase a Montana State University product that bears the “Official Licensed Collegiate Products” label, hang tag, or hologram, a portion of your purchase price is returned to the University.

Look for the label

It’s more than a label, it’s trademark protection.

The trademarks and logos that represent Montana State University are property of Montana State University. Just like any property owner, the University wants to ensure that its property is cared for appropriately. Use of these trademarks without the permission of the University is illegal, and manufacturers and retailers who use these marks without permission are subject to prosecution.

The “Officially Licensed Collegiate Products” label, hang tag, or hologram signifies that the University has granted the manufacturer the right to use its trademarks. Without this signification, the merchandise may be counterfeit.

It’s more than a label, it’s your assurance of quality.

The “Officially Licensed Collegiate Products” label, hang tag, or hologram not only signifies that the manufacturer has been given permission to use the trademarks of Montana State University, but also that the merchandise has passed the strict standards set forth by the University. Through a system of quality control, the label, hang tag, or hologram has come to represent genuine craftsmanship and authenticity, guaranteeing that the product you are purchasing is of the quality you deserve.
