BearWear Friday, but make it spooky

October 25, 2021 by Strategic Communication

Lions and tigers and BearWear Halloween costumes! Oh my!

Missouri State’s social media team challenges you to incorporate BearWear into your Halloween costume this year.

You’ve probably heard about Missouri State’s tradition to sport your BearWear every Friday – at work, in the classroom or at home.

On Nov. 1, we’ll have a bonus: A Halloween edition of #BearWearFriday. That’s right. #BearWearFriday can happen on a Monday, too.

Rules of the challenge

Direct message photos of you in your BearWear Halloween costume to @MissouriState on Instagram between Oct. 25-31 to be included in the #BearWearFriday Halloween post.

Costume must include BearWear and be submitted via direct message to Missouri State on Instagram.

Don’t have a BearWear Halloween costume this year? You can still appear on our Instagram account. Send your BearWear photos to us via direct message to be featured in future #BearWearFriday posts.
