Grateful Dead Purple Dancing Bear Dad Hat

Nothing is more iconic to the Grateful Dead fanbase than the grateful dead dancing bears. Their iconic "dancing bears" design is an homage to Owsley "Bear" Stanley, the band's audio engineer who recorded and produced the album they appear on, The History of the Grateful Dead, Vol. One (1973). 50 years later, the bears are recognized worldwide as a symbol of The Dead. Their fans, known as Deadheads, still sport Grateful Dead dancing bear hats, shirts and more to this day to represent their love for the music. Ripple Junction carries Grateful Dead bears shirts and other Grateful Dead shirts, Grateful Dead pants, Grateful Dead sweaters, and more so you can showcase your love for The Dead.
