DICK'S Sporting Goods: Colosseum Youth UT San Antonio Roadrunners Charcoal Luther Polar Fleece Pullover Hoodie, Small, Gray (Review)

An 80% Discount on Officially Licensed Collegiate Fleece

DICK'S Sporting Goods has this Colosseum Youth UT San Antonio Roadrunners Charcoal "Luther" Polar Fleece Pullover Hoodie marked down to $9.97 from a $49.99 list price — an 80% discount on a fully licensed piece of collegiate apparel, which is a steep enough markdown to be worth flagging even for shoppers with no immediate UTSA connection, since licensed fan gear rarely drops this far below list.

Who Colosseum Is, and Why That Matters

Colosseum Athletics is one of the more established names in officially licensed college apparel, producing gear across dozens of NCAA programs under formal licensing agreements — which means this isn't a generic gray hoodie with a school name slapped on it, but a piece built specifically as UTSA Roadrunners branded merchandise, with the design details and color accuracy that comes with an actual license rather than a knockoff.

The "Luther" Polar Fleece Construction

This particular style sits in Colosseum's "Luther" polar fleece line, built around a mid-weight fleece fabric that trades some of the bulk of a heavier hooded sweatshirt for a softer, more breathable feel while still holding real warmth. Polar fleece in this weight class tends to work well as a standalone layer through most fall temperatures and as an added layer under a jacket once it gets colder, without the stiffness or wind resistance issues that heavier fleece can sometimes have.

Charcoal Gray: A Practical Colorway Choice

The charcoal gray colorway keeps this squarely in "easy to wear constantly" territory rather than a bright, single-occasion piece — it pairs with essentially anything in a kid's existing wardrobe, doesn't show wear or light staining as readily as a lighter gray or white would, and reads as a legitimate everyday pullover rather than strictly game-day-only gear, which matters if the goal is getting real, regular use out of it rather than an outfit worn twice a season.

Sizing: What Small Actually Means Here

This specific listing is for youth Small, and it's worth checking Colosseum's own youth size chart against actual measurements before ordering rather than assuming based on age alone — licensed apparel brands don't always size identically to mainstream kids' clothing brands, and youth sizing conventions can vary meaningfully between manufacturers even within the same general size label.

Who Should Buy This

This is an easy pick for UTSA alumni buying for kids or grandkids, families with a Roadrunners connection building out game-day wardrobes, or simply anyone shopping for a warm, well-made youth pullover who doesn't mind (or specifically wants) the collegiate branding. At $49.99 it's a considered gift purchase; at $9.97 it's close to a no-brainer add for anyone in that audience, and cheap enough to buy across a couple of sizes if a child's growth makes that worthwhile.

Care and Longevity

Polar fleece pullovers like this one are typically machine washable on a normal cold cycle, though air-drying or a low-heat dryer setting will do more to preserve both the fleece texture and the printed or embroidered team branding over repeated washes than high heat will — a small habit that meaningfully extends how long a licensed graphic hoodie like this keeps looking new.

Beyond Game Day

While the UTSA branding makes this a natural pick for game days and campus visits, a soft polar fleece pullover in a neutral charcoal colorway earns its keep well beyond that specific use case — it works just as well as a warm layer for school mornings, weekend outings, or simply lounging at home, which is part of why a licensed fleece piece like this tends to see far more actual wear than a jersey or other single-purpose fan gear typically does.

The Bottom Line

At $9.97, down 80% from $49.99, this is a genuinely well-made, officially licensed youth fleece pullover at a price that makes it an easy buy for any UTSA-connected family, gift-giver, or fan.
