Tartans – also known as plaids – are associated with tradition and authenticity. Many universities have established official tartans, which can be used to create a variety of apparel items.

Through a partnership with Collegiate Tartan Apparel, the department of merchandising and fashion design has developed two options for Missouri State’s official tartan. Now, the Missouri State community has the opportunity to select the winning option.
